- They stripped him and put a scarlet robe on him, and after twisting some thorns into a crown, they put it on his head. They put a reed in his right hand and knelt before him and mocked him, saying, “Hail, King of the Jews!”
- But even if you do suffer for doing what is right, you are blessed. Do not fear what they fear, and do not be intimidated.

- Then Peter began to speak to them: “I truly understand that God shows no partiality, but in every nation anyone who fears him and does what is right is acceptable to him.”

- Let your eyes look directly forward,
and your gaze be straight before you. - Those who walk blamelessly, and do what is right,
and speak the truth from their heart;
who do not slander with their tongue,
and do no evil to their friends,
nor take up a reproach against their neighbors. - Look at the proud!
Their spirit is not right in them,
but the righteous live by their faith. - To do righteousness and justice
is more acceptable to the Lord than sacrifice. - We must always give thanks to God for you, brothers and sisters, as is right, because your faith is growing abundantly, and the love of everyone of you for one another is increasing.

for all his works are truth,
and his ways are justice;

A faithful God, without deceit,
just and upright is he. - To the one who conquers I will give a place with me on my throne, just as I myself conquered and sat down with my Father on his throne.
- Now who will harm you if you are eager to do what is good?
- “All things are lawful,” but not all things are beneficial. “All things are lawful,” but not all things build up.
- “All things are lawful for me,” but not all things are beneficial. “All things are lawful for me,” but I will not be dominated by anything.
- Better is a little with righteousness
than large income with injustice. - He has told you, O mortal, what is good;
and what does the Lord require of you
but to do justice, and to love kindness,
and to walk humbly with your God?
