According to biblical teachings, men are called to embody courage, strength, and humility. In 1 Corinthians 16:13-14, men are urged to be watchful, stand firm in the faith, and be courageous, while 1 Peter 3:7 instructs husbands to live with their wives in an understanding way. The prophet Micah sums up the requirements of godly living in Micah 6:8, emphasizing justice, mercy, and humility. As men mature, they are to put away childish things, as noted in 1 Corinthians 13:11, and follow the example of King David, who charged his son Solomon to walk in God's ways, as recorded in 1 Kings 2:2-4.
