Of all the things that a Christian man should aspire to, this is an interestingly short list. There are six things here - among all the hundreds of characteristics that could be possible... I wonder if these incorporate the hundreds, or if some Createan context is relevant... Hmmm. A little help from Webster's:
- Sober-minded. (Sober: 1 a : sparing in the use of food and drink : abstemious b : not addicted to intoxicating drink c : not drunk; 2 : marked by sedate or gravely or earnestly thoughtful character or demeanor; 3 : unhurried, calm; 4 : marked by temperance, moderation, or seriousness ; 5 : subdued in tone or color; 6 : showing no excessive or extreme qualities of fancy, emotion, or prejudice)-minded
- Dignity: 1 : the quality or state of being worthy, honored, or esteemed; 2 a : high rank, office, or position b : a legal title of nobility or honor; 3 archaic : dignitary; 4 : formal reserve or seriousness of manner, appearance, or language
- Self-controlled: restraint exercised over one's own impulses, emotions, or desires
- Sound in Faith, Love: ((I think those are pretty clear))
- Steadfastness: 1 a : firmly fixed in place : immovable b : not subject to change; 2 : firm in belief, determination, or adherence : loyal
