But you, man of God, flee these things, and follow after righteousness, godliness, faith, love, patience, and gentleness.
Flee ...  That is, flee from the pursuit of money; turn away from it; put it out of sight.  As White well said, "the love of money in ministers of religion does more to discredit it in the eyes of ordinary people than would indulgence in many grosser sins."[22]
