1 Timothy 6:11-16 


There are four distinct marks of God’s man:


The man of God flees from evil  // v.11a
The man of God follows after good // v.11b
The man of God fights for the faith // v.12
The man of God focuses on God’s work // vv.13-16


In 1 Timothy Paul has admonished Timothy to refute false teaching and continues here in 6:11-16 by charging him to pursue a life of righteousness by laying out virtues to pursue (v.11). Fighting the good fight of the faith looks like fleeing from evil and chasing after what is good according to the Scriptures, which is spiritual maturity (Col. 1:28). As a result, sound doctrine manifests in how we live as we kill sin in our lives and participate in the Lord’s work by ministering to others to do the same because of who Jesus is (vv.13-16).
