9 Bible Verses about Pursuing Good

Flee from the passions of youth, but pursue righteousness, faith, love, and peace, in the company of those who, with a pure heart, invoke the Lord.

Let him turn from evil and do good, Let him seek for peace and follow after it;

Try earnestly to live at peace with every one, and to attain to that purity without which no one will see the Lord.

What are we to say, then? Why, that Gentiles, who were not in search of righteousness, secured it-a righteousness which was the result of faith;

While Israel, which was in search of a Law which would ensure righteousness, failed to discover one.

Therefore our efforts should be directed towards all that makes for peace and the mutual building up of character.

Not that I have already laid hold of it, or that I am already made perfect. But I press on, in the hope of actually laying hold of that for which indeed I was laid hold of by Christ Jesus.

I press on to the goal, to gain the prize of that heavenward Call which God gave me through Christ Jesus.

But do you, Servant of God, avoid all this. Aim at righteousness, piety, faith, love, endurance, gentleness.
