O man

Timothy, guard what has been entrusted to you; continue to turn away from the worldly, futile phrases and contradictions of what is falsely called "knowledge,"

so that the man of God may be perfectly fit, thoroughly equipped for every good enterprise.

You must keep on fleeing from the evil impulses of youth, but ever strive for uprightness, faith, love, and peace, in association with those who call upon the Lord with pure hearts.

must have a reputation for doing good deeds, as bringing up children, being hospitable to strangers, washing the feet of God's people, helping people in distress, or devoting herself to any sort of doing good.

Keep on pursuing love, but still keep cultivating your spiritual gifts, especially the gift of prophesying.

You must keep on fleeing from the evil impulses of youth, but ever strive for uprightness, faith, love, and peace, in association with those who call upon the Lord with pure hearts.

Continue to live in peace with everybody and strive for that consecration without which no one can see the Lord.

He must turn, too, away from evil and do right; He must seek peace and follow it,
