(Luke 6:40; Hosea 4:9; 1 Corinthians 11:1; Philippians 3:17; 1 Corinthians 4:6), and choose an unencumbered, pruned, simple devotion to Christ (John 15:2; Hebrews 12:2; 1
Peter 1:13; 2 Corinthians 1:12). He should train himself in godliness (1 Timothy 4:6-7)
in his devotion to the Scripture for personal edification and wisdom (Proverbs 4:20-22).
