He will read God's word and pray for God's before he acts or makes decisions. He will obey God's word. Obey the Gospel and be faithful. One cannot be "godly" and not obey the Gospel He will defend the word of God, Jude 3 He will love his enemies,Matthew 5:44-46 He will love his wife as his own body, Ephesians 5:28 He will love his children. He will love his parents and neighbor.
