1 Timothy 6:11 But you, man of God, flee from all this, and pursue righteousness, godliness, faith, love, endurance and gentleness. 12 Fight the good fight of the faith. Take hold of the eternal life to which you were called when you made your good confession in the presence of many witnesses. 13 In the sight of God, who gives life to everything, and of Christ Jesus, who while testifying before Pontius Pilate made the good confession, I charge you 14 to keep this command without spot or blame until the appearing of our Lord Jesus Christ, 15 which God will bring about in his own time—God, the blessed and only Ruler, the King of kings and Lord of lords, 16 who alone is immortal and who lives in unapproachable light, whom no one has seen or can see. To him be honor and might forever. Amen.17 Command those who are rich in this present world not to be arrogant nor to put their hope in wealth, which is so uncertain, but to put their hope in God, who richly provides us with everything for our enjoyment. 18 Command them to do good, to be rich in good deeds, and to be generous and willing to share. 19 In this way they will lay up treasure for themselves as a firm foundation for the coming age, so that they may take hold of the life that is truly life.
20 Timothy, guard what has been entrusted to your care. Turn away from godless chatter and the opposing ideas of what is falsely called knowledge, 21 which some have professed and in so doing have departed from the faith.
Grace be with you all.

In one commentary it says that Paul gave us six good qualities a Christian should try to have.
Paul lists six good qualities that Christians should try to have. These are:
· They must always do what is good and right.
· They should live to please God.
· They should believe in and trust the Lord at all times.
· They ought to love God and other people.
· They must be patient and strong. And they must have a good attitude through all the problems that come to them.
· They should be gentle. When people do bad things to them, they must never do bad things in return. Some people may accuse them wrongly. And some people may insult them but they must not reply in the same way. They should try to do good things even to those who hate them.
We're not going to hit the mark all the time. We are, after all, human. But when we fall, we should ask forgiveness, get back on our feet and continue to try.
That same commentary says. "*Amen means 'let it be so'. What comes before it is true. We use amen to show that we agree with it and accept it. All honor, power and strength do belong to God."
So let it be so....
