I
think we could put 2 Timothy 2 into two columns of things to pursue and do and things to avoid. It's like a very deep lesson in growing in
character His way and avoiding ungodliness.
To Do: Be strong through the grace that God gives you through Jesus, teach truths to other trustworthy people who can pass them on, endure suffering as a good soldier, be a good worker, present yourself to God, correctly explain the word of truth, keep yourself pure, live a clean life, turn away from evil, pursue righteous living, faithfulness, love and peace, enjoy the companionship of those who call on the Lord with pure hearts, :) be kind to everyone, be able to teach, be patient with difficult people, gently instruct those who oppose the truth
Avoid: Foolish talk, God-less behavior, anything that stimulates youthful lusts, don't get involved in foolish, ignorant arguments that only start fights, do not quarrel
