What GOD
Says About:
|
"A
righteous man who walks in his integrity -- How blessed are his sons after
him." "To
do righteousness and justice is desired by the Lord rather than
sacrifice." "Vindicate
me, O Lord, for I have walked in my integrity, and I have trusted in the Lord
without wavering. Examine me, O Lord, and try me; Test my mind and my heart.
For Your lovingkindness is before my eyes, and I have walked in Your
truth." "The
integrity of the upright will guide them, but the falseness of the treacherous
will destroy them. Riches do not profit in the day of wrath, but righteousness
delivers from death. The righteousness of the blameless will smooth his way,
but the wicked will fall by his own wickedness." "O
Lord, who may abide in Your tent? Who may dwell on Your holy hill? He who walks
with integrity, and works righteousness, and speaks truth in his heart. He does
not slander with his tongue, nor does evil to his neighbor, nor takes up a
reproach against his friend; In whose eyes a reprobate is despised, but who
honors those who fear the Lord; He swears to his own hurt and does not change;
He does not put out his money at interest, nor does he take a bribe against the
innocent. He who does these things will never be shaken." "He
who is faithful in a very little thing is faithful also in much; and he who is
unrighteous in a very little thing is unrighteous also in much." "Do
not let kindness and truth leave you; bind them around your neck, write them on
the tablet of your heart. So you will find favor and good repute in the sight
of God and man." "Though
He slay me, I will hope in Him. Nevertheless I will argue my ways before Him.
Behold now, I have prepared my case; I know that I will be vindicated." "Let
your eyes look directly ahead and let your gaze be fixed straight in front of
you. Watch the path of your feet and all your ways will be established. Do not
turn to the right nor to the left; Turn your foot from evil." "Lying
lips are an abomination to the Lord, but those who deal faithfully are His
delight." "A
man's discretion makes him slow to anger, and it is his glory to overlook a
transgression." "Zaccheus
stopped and said to the Lord, "Behold, Lord, half of my possessions I will
give to the poor, and if I have defrauded anyone of anything, I will give back
four times as much.' And Jesus said to him, 'Today salvation has come to this
house, because he, too, is a son of Abraham.'" "Do
not judge so that you will not be judged. For in the way you judge, you will be
judged; and by your standard of measure, it will be measured to you. Why do you
look at the speck that is in your brother's eye, but do not notice the log that
is in your own eye? Or how can you say to your brother, 'Let me take the speck
out of your eye,' and behold, the log is in your own eye? You hypocrite, first
take the log out of your own eye, and then you will see clearly to take the speck
out of your brother's eye." "But
the path of the righteous is like the light of dawn, that shines brighter and
brighter until the full day." "My
lips certainly will not speak unjustly, nor will my tongue mutter deceit. Far
be it from me that I should declare you right; Till I die I will not put away
my integrity from me. I hold fast my righteousness and will not let it go. My
heart does not reproach any of my days." "He
who walks righteously and speaks with sincerity; He who rejects unjust gain and
shakes his hands so that they hold no bribe; He who stops his ears from hearing
about bloodshed and shuts his eyes from looking upon evil; He will dwell on the
heights, His refuge will be the impregnable rock; His bread will be given him,
His water will be sure." "Listen
to me, you who pursue righteousness, who seek the Lord: Look to the rock from
which you were hewn and to the quarry from which you were dug." Proverbs 2:1-9 |
