Fly from the cravings of youth, and go in pursuit of uprightness, faith, love, and peace, in company with those who call upon the Lord with pure hearts.

O man

Timothy, guard what has been intrusted to you. Keep away from the worldly, empty phrases and contradictions of what they falsely call knowledge,

so that the man of God will be adequate, and equipped for any good work.

Flee

Fly from immorality! Any other sin a man commits is something outside his body, but the immoral man sins against his own body.

Therefore, my dear brothers, have nothing to do with the worship of idols.

Fly from the cravings of youth, and go in pursuit of uprightness, faith, love, and peace, in company with those who call upon the Lord with pure hearts.

And

and have a good reputation for Christian service, such as bringing up children, being hospitable to strangers, washing the feet of God's people, helping people in distress, or devoting herself to any form of doing good.

Let us, therefore, keep before us whatever will contribute to peace and the development of one another.

You must pursue love, while you are cultivating the spiritual endowments, and especially inspired preaching.

Fly from the cravings of youth, and go in pursuit of uprightness, faith, love, and peace, in company with those who call upon the Lord with pure hearts.

Try to be at peace with everyone, and strive for that consecration without which no one can see the Lord.

Let him turn away from evil and do right, Let him seek peace and go after it.
