Welcome to week three! This week we will be looking at virtue, the first thing Peter says to add to our faith. So let's begin by defining just what virtue means. Our role model is Rahab - a single, professional woman. (I know it wasn't a great profession, but we'll ignore that for now...)
Your assignment for today: find a definition of virtue and read Joshua 2 to refresh your memory about Rahab.

Virtue: Moral excellence; goodness; righteousness. Conformity of one’s life and conduct to moral and ethical principles; uprightness; rectitude. (dictionary.com)
Colossians 3:12-17 “Put on then, as God’s chosen ones, holy and beloved compassionate hearts, kindness, humility, meekness, and patience, bearing with one another and, if one has a complaint against another, forgiving each other; as the Lord has forgiven you, so you must also forgive. And above all, these put on love, which binds everything together in perfect harmony. And let the peace of Christ rule in your hearts to which indeed you were called in one body. And be thankful. Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly, teaching and admonishing one another in all wisdom, singing psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, with thankfulness in your hearts to god. And whatever you do, in word or deed, do everything in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through him
Oxford Dictionary defines virtue as behavior showing high moral standards, a quality considered morally good or desirable in a person. I think if I was to define it myself, I would have to include the word: "integrity."
I know I'm a bit behind here.
virtue is moral excellence. I think of the woman of Proverbs 31 v. 10 "who can find a virtuous wife?"
