Peacemakers

"Paul instructs Timothy, 'And the Lord’s servant must not be quarrelsome but kind to everyone, able to teach, patiently enduring evil' (2 Timothy 2:24; cf 1 Tim 3:3). Let’s focus briefly on the requirement to 'not be quarrelsome.'" - 9 Marks

"Paul placed the charge of living at peace on his hearers. He did not mention the obligations of the other party or parties in the conflict. His focus is on his hearers’ efforts to be peacemakers." - Tim McKnight
