A quality actively pursued · dominant
In 1 Timothy 6:11, the accusative singular feminine form occurs in the command to flee certain things and pursue a sequence of qualities. The APB renders the clause, “pursue righteousness, piety, faith, love, perseverance, and gentleness,” confirming the verse’s presentation of the term within that pursued list.
In the Anselm Project Bible: In 1 Timothy 6:11, the APB includes “gentleness” among the qualities to be pursued. It confirms the list’s overall presentation rather than isolating the term independently.
