We think that the following qualities should be inherent in him: such a person should not cause evil and pain to his neighbors, he should not have all sorts of harmful addictions, he should develop and strive to benefit society, such a person should be an example in his lifestyle.
But what does Bible say about character traits of a good man? We, of course, should first look for answers to these questions in Holy Scripture, for this is the word of God, which means that it directly expresses the will of the Lord about the whole human race.

Qualities of a great man: quotes from the Bible
