There are times to march and times to run away. Vs22 is an example of where to turn from the battle.
"Flee also youthful lusts: but follow righteousness, faith, charity, peace, with them that call on the Lord out of a pure heart."
The lust of the flesh, the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life are just a few things that a soldier of the Lord is to be evasive towards. The instruction doesn't stop there though... once we turn from self defeating lusts; then, we are to follow after the things of God with others who desire to stay clean and faithful to their Master. Righteousness, faith, charity, & peace are a tall order; but, excellent destinations to press toward with the right crowd. It is God's will for us to want to be around brothers and sisters that Love the Lord Jesus Christ.
