Characteristics of Christian men
1 Corinthians 16:13 Be watchful, stand firm in the
faith, act like men, be strong.
1 Timothy 4:12 Let no one despise your youth,
but be an example to the believers in word, in
conduct, in love, in spirit, in faith, in purity.
Colossians 4:6 Let your speech always be with
grace, seasoned with salt, that you may know
how you ought to answer each one.
Titus 2: 6 Likewise exhort the young men to be
sober-minded, 7 in all things showing yourself to
be a pattern of good works; in doctrine showing
integrity, reverence, incorruptibility, 8 sound
speech that cannot be condemned, that one who
is an opponent may be ashamed, having nothing
evil to say of you.
1 Corinthians 7:32 But I want you to be without
care. He who is unmarried cares for the things of
the Lord -- how he may please the Lord. 33 But
he who is married cares about the things of the
world -- how he may please his wife.
Ephesians 5:25 Husbands, love your wives, just
as Christ also loved the church and gave Himself
for her, 26 that He might sanctify and cleanse
her with the washing of water by the word, 27
that He might present her to Himself a glorious
church, not having spot or wrinkle or any such
thing, but that she should be holy and without
blemish. 28 So husbands ought to love their own
wives as their own bodies; he who loves his wife
loves himself. 29 For no one ever hated his own
flesh, but nourishes and cherishes it, just as the
Lord does the church.
Philippians 2:5 Let this mind be in you which was
also in Christ Jesus, 6 who, being in the form of
God, did not consider it robbery to be equal with
God, 7 but made Himself of no reputation, taking
the form of a bondservant, and coming in the
likeness of men. 8 And being found in
appearance as a man, He humbled Himself and
became obedient to the point of death, even the
death of the cross.
2 Corinthians 8:9 For you know the grace of our
Lord Jesus Christ, that though He was rich, yet for
your sakes He became poor, that you through His
poverty might become rich.
Romans 5:7 For scarcely for a righteous man will
one die; yet perhaps for a good man someone
would even dare to die. 8 But God demonstrates
His own love toward us, in that while we were
still sinners, Christ died for us. 9 Much more
then, having now been justified by His blood, we
shall be saved from wrath through Him.
1 Corinthians 7:3 Let the husband render to his
wife the affection due her, and likewise also the
wife to her husband. 4 The wife does not have
authority over her own body, but the husband
does. And likewise the husband does not have
authority over his own body, but the wife does. 5
Do not deprive one another except with consent
for a time, that you may give yourselves to
fasting and prayer; and come together again so
that Satan does not tempt you because of your
lack of self-control.
1 Peter 3:7 Husbands, likewise, dwell with them
with understanding, giving honor to the wife, as
to the weaker vessel, and as being heirs together
of the grace of life, that your prayers may not be
hindered.
Ephesians 6:4 And you, fathers, do not provoke
your children to wrath, but bring them up in the
training and admonition of the Lord.
Hebrews 10:24 And let us consider one another to
provoke unto love and to good works:
Genesis 18:19 "For I have known him, in order
that he may command his children and his
household after him, that they keep the way of
the LORD, to do righteousness and justice, that
the LORD may bring to Abraham what He has
spoken to him."
Deuteronomy 6:6 " And these words which I
command you today shall be in your heart. 7
"You shall teach them diligently to your children,
and shall talk of them when you sit in your house,
when you walk by the way, when you lie down,
and when you rise up.
Joshua 24:15"And if it seems evil to you to serve
the LORD, choose for yourselves this day whom
you will serve, whether the gods which your
fathers served that were on the other side of the
River, or the gods of the Amorites, in whose land
you dwell. But as for me and my house, we will
serve the LORD."
Ephesians 6:2 "Honor your father and mother,"
which is the first commandment with promise:
Mark 7:6 He answered and said to them, "Well
did Isaiah prophesy of you hypocrites, as it is
written: 'This people honors Me with their lips,
But their heart is far from Me. 7 And in vain they
worship Me, Teaching as doctrines the
commandments of men.' 8 "For laying aside the
commandment of God, you hold the tradition of
men -- the washing of pitchers and cups, and
many other such things you do." 9 He said to
them, "All too well you reject the commandment
of God, that you may keep your tradition.
10 "For Moses said, 'Honor your father and your
mother'; and, 'He who curses father or mother,
let him be put to death.' 11 "But you say, 'If a
man says to his father or mother, "Whatever
profit you might have received from me is
Corban" -- ' (that is, a gift to God), 12 "then you
no longer let him do anything for his father or his
mother, 13 "making the word of God of no effect
through your tradition which you have handed
down. And many such things you do."
1 Timothy 5:8 But if anyone does not provide for
his own, and especially for those of his
household, he has denied the faith and is worse
than an unbeliever.
John 19:26 When Jesus therefore saw His
mother, and the disciple whom He loved standing
by, He said to His mother, "Woman, behold your
son!" 27 Then He said to the disciple, "Behold
your mother!" And from that hour that disciple
took her to his own home.
1 Timothy 6: 9 But those who desire to be rich fall
into temptation and a snare, and into many
foolish and harmful lusts which drown men in
destruction and perdition. 10 For the love of
money is a root of all kinds of evil, for which
some have strayed from the faith in their
greediness, and pierced themselves through with
many sorrows. 11 But you, O man of God, flee
these things and pursue righteousness, godliness,
faith, love, patience, gentleness.
12 Fight the good fight of faith, lay hold on
eternal life, to which you were also called and
have confessed the good confession in the
presence of many witnesses. 13 I urge you in the
sight of God who gives life to all things, and
before Christ Jesus who witnessed the good
confession before Pontius Pilate, 14 that you
keep this commandment without spot, blameless
until our Lord Jesus Christ's appearing,
1 Peter 4:10 As each one has received a gift,
minister it to one another, as good stewards of
the manifold grace of God. 11 If anyone speaks,
let him speak as the oracles of God. If anyone
ministers, let him do it as with the ability which
God supplies, that in all things God may be
glorified through Jesus Christ, to whom belong
the glory and the dominion forever and ever.
Amen.
In conclusion we have learned how:
• Single men should conduct themselves
• Men should be good husbands, fathers and sons
• Men should be good servants of the Lord
