- 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. - Train children in the right way,
and when old, they will not stray. - 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.”
- If you will listen carefully to the voice of the Lord your God, and do what is right in his sight, and give heed to his commandments and keep all his statutes, I will not bring upon you any of the diseases that I brought upon the Egyptians; for I am the Lord who heals you.
- Give justice to the weak and the orphan;
maintain the right of the lowly and the destitute. - Look at the proud!
Their spirit is not right in them,
but the righteous live by their faith. - So let us not grow weary in doing what is right, for we will reap at harvest time, if we do not give up.
- I have taught you the way of wisdom;
I have led you in the paths of uprightness. - Come to a sober and right mind, and sin no more; for some people have no knowledge of God. I say this to your shame.
- 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. - 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.
- If we diligently observe this entire commandment before the Lord our God, as he has commanded us, we will be in the right.
- Then you will understand righteousness and justice
and equity, every good path. - To make an apt answer is a joy to anyone,
and a word in season, how good it is! - Now I, Nebuchadnezzar, praise and extol and honor the King of heaven,
for all his works are truth,
and his ways are justice;
and he is able to bring low
those who walk in pride. - The Rock, his work is perfect,
and all his ways are just.
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. - Finally, beloved, whatever is true, whatever is honorable, whatever is just, whatever is pure, whatever is pleasing, whatever is commendable, if there is any excellence and if there is anything worthy of praise, think about these things.
