1 Timothy 6:11 Made Simple

KJV ORIGINAL

But thou, O man of God, flee these things; and follow after righteousness, godliness, faith, love, patience, meekness.

Close to the original. Clear modern English.

✦ MADE SIMPLE

But you — you're God's person — run from all that toxic stuff. Instead, chase after what's right, living close to God, having faith, showing love, staying patient, and keeping a humble heart.

⚡ THE BOTTOM LINE

Don't chase what destroys you — chase what builds you up into who God made you to be.
