2 Timothy2:22
22 Flee also youthful lusts : but follow righteousness , faith , charity , peace, with them that call on the Lord out of a pure heart .
By youthful Lusts he means such sinful desires, propensions, and inclinations of Mind as are most incident to youth, whether they be lusts of the flesh, or spiritual Lusts, such as are the Vices of the Mind, Ambition, Ostentation, Pride, Vainglory, Contempt of others, &c.
Follow Justice, or Innocency, which wrongeth none, but rendereth to every one his due, or the righteousness of an holy life.
Faith, which teacheth a Soul to receive Divine Revelations steadily, without perverse disputings.
Charity, which is kind, envieth not, vaunteth not it self, is not puffed up, doth not behave it self unseemly, seeketh not her own, 1 Cor. 13.4, 5, 6.
An Union not with men of corrupt Minds and Practices, but with all such as serve and worship God purely and sincerely.
