Wise teacher, who knows what we need because you crafted us from the earth, instill in us a desire for virtue, that we would seek out those things for ourselves that are good and lasting, and in accordance with your nature and so receive the life that you have desired that we enjoy, through Jesus our savior, who reigns with you and the Holy Spirit in glory forever and ever. Amen.
‘But as for you, man of God, shun all this; pursue righteousness, godliness, faith, love, endurance, gentleness.’ – 1 Tim. 6:11
