- I have taught you in the way of wisdom.
I have led you in straight paths. - He who walks blamelessly and does what is right,
and speaks truth in his heart;
he who doesn’t slander with his tongue,
nor does evil to his friend,
nor casts slurs against his fellow man. - Let your eyes look straight ahead.
Fix your gaze directly before you. - You call me, ‘Teacher’ and ‘Lord.’ You say so correctly, for so I am.
- Good and upright is Yahweh,
therefore he will instruct sinners in the way.
He will guide the humble in justice.
He will teach the humble his way. - The Rock: his work is perfect,
for all his ways are just.
A God of faithfulness who does no wrong,
just and right is he. - Peter opened his mouth and said, “Truly I perceive that God doesn’t show favoritism; but in every nation he who fears him and works righteousness is acceptable to him.”
- For the fruit of the Spirit is in all goodness and righteousness and truth.
- To do righteousness and justice
is more acceptable to Yahweh than sacrifice. - But even if you should suffer for righteousness’ sake, you are blessed. “Don’t fear what they fear, neither be troubled.”
- Then you will understand righteousness and justice,
equity and every good path. - Let’s not be weary in doing good, for we will reap in due season if we don’t give up.
- Defend the weak, the poor, and the fatherless.
Maintain the rights of the poor and oppressed. - Behold, his soul is puffed up. It is not upright in him, but the righteous will live by his faith.
- Wake up righteously and don’t sin, for some have no knowledge of God. I say this to your shame.
- Train up a child in the way he should go,
and when he is old he will not depart from it. - Now I, Nebuchadnezzar, praise and extol and honor the King of heaven; for all his works are truth, and his ways justice; and those who walk in pride he is able to abase.
- We are bound to always give thanks to God for you, brothers, even as it is appropriate, because your faith grows exceedingly, and the love of each and every one of you toward one another abounds.
- He who overcomes, I will give to him to sit down with me on my throne, as I also overcame and sat down with my Father on his throne.
- Now who will harm you if you become imitators of that which is good?
- “All things are lawful for me,” but not all things are profitable. “All things are lawful for me,” but not all things build up.
- “All things are lawful for me,” but not all things are expedient. “All things are lawful for me,” but I will not be brought under the power of anything.
- Better is a little with righteousness,
than great revenues with injustice. - Finally, brothers, whatever things are true, whatever things are honorable, whatever things are just, whatever things are pure, whatever things are lovely, whatever things are of good report: if there is any virtue and if there is anything worthy of praise, think about these things.
- He has shown you, O man, what is good.
What does Yahweh require of you, but to act justly,
to love mercy, and to walk humbly with your God?
