Personal pursuits could weigh us down to the extent that we become “inactive or unfruitful regarding the accurate knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ. ” ​ — 2 Pet. 1: 8. 19, 20.
لِذلِكَ فَإِنَّ ٱلِٱتِّزَانَ وَضَبْطَ ٱلنَّفْسِ ضَرُورِيَّانِ ،‏ وَخُصُوصًا نَظَرًا إِلَى ٱلْأَوْقَاتِ ٱلَّتِي نَعِيشُ فِيهَا .‏
