“But you, O man of God, flee these things and [follow after] righteousness, godliness, faith, love, patience, gentleness. Fight the good fight of faith, lay hold on eternal life” (1 Tim 6:11-12).
Not every hill is worth dying on: sometimes it’s fight the good fight, but at other times it’s flee the good flight. At all times, it’s follow, or pursue, these good things before they get away from you!
