- Good and upright is the Lord;
therefore, he instructs sinners in his ways.
He guides the humble in what is right
and teaches them the path to follow. - He reserves his wisdom for the upright
and is a shield to those who lead blameless lives. - For no one can be regarded as justified in the sight of God by keeping the Law. The Law brings only the consciousness of sin.
- I have instructed you in the ways of wisdom
and led you along the paths of righteousness. - The tongue of the just man is like pure silver;
the heart of the wicked is without worth. - Then Peter addressed them: “I now understand how true it is that God has no favorites, but that in every nation all those who fear God and do what is right are acceptable to him.”
- Train a child in the way he should go,
and he will not deviate from it, even in old age. - Blessed are those whose way is blameless,
who walk in accord with the law of the Lord. - Blessings are showered on the head of the righteous,
but sorrow will cover the face of the wicked. - Come to your senses and sin no more. For some of you have no knowledge of God. I say this to your shame.
- And yet he is aware of everywhere I go;
if he were to test me, I would emerge like pure gold.
My footsteps have not strayed from the path he established;
I have followed his way and never turned aside. - For light produces all goodness and righteousness and truth.
- The hope of the righteous brings them joy,
but the expectations of the wicked are frustrated. - The righteous is remembered with blessings,
but the name of the wicked fades away. - I have fought the good fight; I have finished the race; I have kept the faith. Now waiting for me is the crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous judge, will award to me on that Day—and not only to me, but to all those who have eagerly longed for his appearance.
- Nor should you present any part of your body as an instrument for wickedness leading to sin. Rather, present yourselves to God as having been raised from death to life and the parts of your body to God as instruments for righteousness.
- The proud man’s heart is not upright,
but the righteous man will live
because of his faith. - He is a rock, his deeds are perfect,
and all of his ways are just.
He is a God of truth who does no wrong;
he is just and upright. - The one who provides seed for sowing and bread for food will supply and multiply your seed and increase the harvest of your righteousness.
- As we proceed in the path of your judgments,
we wait for you, O Lord;
your name and your renown
are all that our heart desires. - If you listen to the voice of the Lord, your God, and you do what is right in his sight, if you listen to his ordinances and observe all of his laws, I will not bring upon you any of the diseases that I brought upon the Egyptians, for I am the Lord, who heals you.
- Riches will be of no avail on the day of wrath,
but righteousness delivers from death. - I take no pleasure in the death of anyone, says the Lord God. Repent and live!
- Let your eyes look straight ahead;
fix your gaze on what lies before you. - Truly, you bless the righteous, O Lord;
you surround them with your goodwill as with a shield.
