- Depart from evil, and do good.
Seek peace, and pursue it. - Flee from youthful lusts; but pursue righteousness, faith, love, and peace with those who call on the Lord out of a pure heart.
- But you, man of God, flee these things, and follow after righteousness, godliness, faith, love, perseverance, and gentleness.
- For,
“He who would love life
and see good days,
let him keep his tongue from evil
and his lips from speaking deceit.
Let him turn away from evil and do good.
Let him seek peace and pursue it.” - Follow after peace with all men, and the sanctification without which no man will see the Lord.
- My times are in your hand.
Deliver me from the hand of my enemies, and from those who persecute me. - He who follows after righteousness and kindness
finds life, righteousness, and honor. - Learn to do well.
Seek justice.
Relieve the oppressed.
Defend the fatherless.
Plead for the widow. - See that no one returns evil for evil to anyone, but always follow after that which is good for one another and for all.
- Surely goodness and loving kindness shall follow me all the days of my life,
and I will dwell in Yahweh’s house forever. - He who walks blamelessly walks surely,
but he who perverts his ways will be found out. - “If you turn away your foot from the Sabbath,
from doing your pleasure on my holy day,
and call the Sabbath a delight,
and the holy of Yahweh honorable,
and honor it,
not doing your own ways,
nor finding your own pleasure,
nor speaking your own words,
then you will delight yourself in Yahweh,
and I will make you to ride on the high places of the earth,
and I will feed you with the heritage of Jacob your father;”
for Yahweh’s mouth has spoken it.
May Yahweh our God be with us as he was with our fathers. Let him not leave us or forsake us.
