- There is a way that seems right to a person,
but its end is the way to death. - In you, O Lord, I seek refuge;
do not let me ever be put to shame;
in your righteousness deliver me. - For God is not unjust; he will not overlook your work and the love that you showed for his sake in serving the saints, as you still do.
- The lips of the righteous know what is acceptable,
but the mouth of the wicked what is perverse. - Go and learn what this means, ‘I desire mercy, not sacrifice.’ For I have not come to call the righteous but sinners.
- Do not envy the violent,
and do not choose any of their ways,
for the perverse are an abomination to the Lord,
but the upright are in his confidence. - Thus says the Lord of hosts: Render true judgments, show kindness and mercy to one another; do not oppress the widow, the orphan, the alien, or the poor; and do not devise evil in your hearts against one another.
- I will greatly rejoice in the Lord;
my whole being shall exult in my God,
for he has clothed me with the garments of salvation;
he has covered me with the robe of righteousness,
as a bridegroom decks himself with a garland
and as a bride adorns herself with her jewels. - He himself bore our sins in his body on the cross, so that, having died to sins, we might live for righteousness; by his wounds you have been healed.
- The Lord is just in all his ways
and kind in all his doings. - Hear my prayer, O Lord;
give ear to my supplications in your faithfulness;
answer me in your righteousness. - “All things are permitted for me,” but not all things are beneficial. “All things are permitted for me,” but I will not be dominated by anything.
- Therefore, since we are justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ.
- You are the light of the world. A city built on a hill cannot be hid.
- Give justice to the weak and the orphan;
maintain the right of the lowly and the destitute. - But for you who revere my name the sun of righteousness shall rise, with healing in its wings. You shall go out leaping like calves from the stall.
- Therefore the Lord waits to be gracious to you;
therefore he will rise up to show mercy to you.
For the Lord is a God of justice;
blessed are all those who wait for him. - For just as through the one man’s disobedience the many were made sinners, so through the one man’s obedience the many will be made righteous.
- I do not nullify the grace of God, for if righteousness comes through the law, then Christ died for nothing.
- Everyone who commits sin is guilty of lawlessness; sin is lawlessness.
- Then Peter began to speak to them: “I truly understand that God shows no partiality, but in every people anyone who fears him and practices righteousness is acceptable to him.”
- Blessings are on the head of the righteous,
but the mouth of the wicked conceals violence. - But the one who did not know and did what deserved a beating will receive a light beating. From everyone to whom much has been given, much will be required, and from the one to whom much has been entrusted, even more will be demanded.
- Good and upright is the Lord;
therefore he instructs sinners in the way.
He leads the humble in what is right
and teaches the humble his way. - My soul yearns for you in the night;
my spirit within me earnestly seeks you.
For when your judgments are in the earth,
the inhabitants of the world learn righteousness.
