According to the admonition found at 2 Timothy 2: 25, 26, even when dealing with those who do not readily accept discipline, elders are to instruct “with mildness. ”
Timoteosele 2: 25, 26 toodud manitsuse kohaselt peavad kogudusevanemad „tasase meelega ” õpetama isegi neid, kes ei soovi just meelsasti distsiplineerimist vastu võtta.
