OLBGrk;
He that is the servant of the Lord in the work of the ministry, must not macesyai, fight or strive; he must neither be a striker nor a brawler, neither fight with his hands nor his tongue. But be gentle unto all men; but show himself to all courteous, of a soft temper, meek and gentle. Apt to teach, patient: see the notes on 1 Timothy 3:2,3.
