But you, man of
God, flee from all this, and pursue righteousness, godliness, faith,
love, endurance and gentleness. 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.

1 Timothy 1:18-19 Timothy, my son, I am giving you this command in keeping with the prophecies once made about you, so that by recalling them you may fight the battle well, holding on to faith and a good conscience, which some have rejected and so have suffered shipwreck with regard to the faith.
Take hold of
