what to be or do

 Paul wrote this to Timothy, someone Paul considered to be his son...

1 Timothy 6

11 But you, Timothy, are a man of God; 

so run from all these evil things. 

Pursue righteousness 

and a godly life, 

along with faith, 

love, 

perseverance, 

and gentleness. 

12 Fight the good fight for the true faith. 

Hold tightly to the eternal life to which God has called you...
