- Stand therefore, and fasten the belt of truth around your waist, and put on the breastplate of righteousness. As shoes for your feet put on whatever will make you ready to proclaim the gospel of peace. With all of these, take the shield of faith, with which you will be able to quench all the flaming arrows of the evil one.
- Rise up, O Lord; O God, lift up your hand;
do not forget the oppressed. - Then the Lord knows how to rescue the godly from trial, and to keep the unrighteous under punishment until the day of judgment.
- For I will be merciful toward their iniquities,
and I will remember their sins no more. - The way of the Lord is a stronghold for the upright,
but destruction for evildoers. - Treasures gained by wickedness do not profit,
but righteousness delivers from death. - Whoever walks in integrity walks securely,
but whoever follows perverse ways will be found out. - We have sinned and done wrong, acted wickedly and rebelled, turning aside from your commandments and ordinances.
- 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. - Be careful then how you live, not as unwise people but as wise, making the most of the time, because the days are evil.
- Therefore rid yourselves of all sordidness and rank growth of wickedness, and welcome with meekness the implanted word that has the power to save your souls.
- Do not lie to one another, seeing that you have stripped off the old self with its practices and have clothed yourselves with the new self, which is being renewed in knowledge according to the image of its creator.
- Therefore you have no excuse, whoever you are, when you judge others; for in passing judgment on another you condemn yourself, because you, the judge, are doing the very same things.
