Character: Emulate the Savior

“We are to emulate the character of the Savior.

And what is His character?

He has identified the cardinal virtues of His divine character in a revelation to all priesthood holders who serve in His ministry. You are familiar with this verse in section 4 of the Doctrine and Covenants, which was given a year before the Church was organized:

‘Remember

1. faith, 
2. virtue, 
3. knowledge,
4. temperance, 
5. patience, 
6. brotherly kindness, 
7. godliness, charity, 
8. humility, 
9. diligence.’ (See D&C 4:6.)

These are the virtues we are to emulate. This is the Christlike character.”

President Ezra Taft Benson, “What Manner of Men Ought We Be?”, October 1983 General Conference
