Thirsting Souls Bible Teaching

(1Ti 6:11) “But thou, O man of God, flee these things; and follow after righteousness, godliness, faith, love, patience, meekness.”  “Follow after”, pursue it – “righteousness” – doing that which is right in the sight of God. Question: how can you accomplish this if you do not seek daily do know what it says? I have read it for forty-eight years and still need daily to seek to know it so as to please Him.
