Yes, for Paul reminded Timothy that “a slave of the Lord... needs to be gentle toward all, qualified to teach, keeping himself restrained under evil, instructing with mildness those not favorably disposed. ” ​ — 2 Timothy 2: 24, 25.
On küll, sest Paulus tuletas Timoteosele meelde, et „Issanda sulane... olgu lahke kõikide vastu, osav õpetama, valmis kannatama kurja, kes tasase meelega noomib vastupanijaid ”. — 2. Timoteosele 2: 24, 25.
