| Then the Lord knows how to rescue the godly from trials, and to keep the unrighteous under punishment until the day of judgment. | The Lord knoweth how to deliver the godly out of temptations, and to reserve the unjust unto the day of judgment to be punished. |
| For I will be merciful toward their iniquities, and I will remember their sins no more. | For I will be merciful to their unrighteousness, and their sins and their iniquities will I remember no more. |

| The way of the Lord is a stronghold to the blameless, but destruction to evildoers. | The way of the Lord is strength to the upright: but destruction shall be to the workers of iniquity. |
| Treasures gained by wickedness do not profit, but righteousness delivers from death. | Treasures of wickedness profit nothing: but righteousness delivereth from death. |
| Whoever walks in integrity walks securely, but he who makes his ways crooked will be found out. | He that walketh uprightly walketh surely: but he that perverteth his ways shall be known. |
| We have sinned and done wrong and acted wickedly and rebelled, turning aside from your commandments and rules. | We have sinned, and have committed iniquity, and have done wickedly, and have rebelled, even by departing from thy precepts and from thy judgments. |
| Do not envy a man of violence and do not choose any of his ways, for the devious person is an abomination to the Lord, but the upright are in his confidence. | Envy thou not the oppressor, and choose none of his ways. For the froward is abomination to the Lord: but his secret is with the righteous. |
| Look carefully then how you walk, not as unwise but as wise, making the best use of the time, because the days are evil. | See then that ye walk circumspectly, not as fools, but as wise, Redeeming the time, because the days are evil. |
| Therefore put away all filthiness and rampant wickedness and receive with meekness the implanted word, which is able to save your souls. | Wherefore lay apart all filthiness and superfluity of naughtiness, and receive with meekness the engrafted word, which is able to save your souls. |
| Do not lie to one another, seeing that you have put off the old self with its practices and have put on the new self, which is being renewed in knowledge after the image of its creator. | Lie not one to another, seeing that ye have put off the old man with his deeds; And have put on the new man, which is renewed in knowledge after the image of him that created him. |
| Therefore you have no excuse, O man, every one of you who judges. For in passing judgment on another you condemn yourself, because you, the judge, practice the very same things. | Therefore thou art inexcusable, O man, whosoever thou art that judgest: for wherein thou judgest another, thou condemnest thyself; for thou that judgest doest the same things. |
