22 That you are to put away, in relation to your earlier way of life, the old man, which has become evil by love of deceit;

23 And be made new in the spirit of your mind,

24 And put on the new man, to which God has given life, in righteousness and a true and holy way of living.

12 Let no one make little of you because you are young, but be an example to the church in word, in behaviour, in love, in faith, in holy living.

9 BETH How may a young man make his way clean? by guiding it after your word.

10 I have made search for you with all my heart: O let me not go wandering far from your teaching.

11 I have kept your sayings secretly in my heart, so that I might do no sin against you.

12 Praise be to you, O Lord: give me knowledge of your rules.

13 With my lips have I made clear all the decisions of your mouth.

14 I have taken as much delight in the way of your unchanging word, as in all wealth.

15 I will give thought to your orders, and have respect for your ways.

16 I will have delight in your rules; I will not let your word go out of my mind.

11 But you, O man of God, keep yourself from these things, and go after righteousness, religion, faith, love, a quiet mind, gentle behaviour.

13 Be on the watch, unmoved in the faith, and be strong like men.

14 Let all you do be done in love.

31 We have knowledge that God does not give ear to sinners, but if any man is a worshipper of God and does his pleasure, to him God's ears are open.

9 These are the generations of Noah. Noah was an upright man and without sin in his generation: he went in the ways of God.

12 To all those who did so take him, however, he gave the right of becoming children of God--that is, to those who had faith in his name:

13 Whose birth was from God and not from blood, or from an impulse of the flesh and man's desire.

6 There was a man sent from God, whose name was John.

7 He came for witness, to give witness about the light, so that all men might have faith through him.

8 He has made clear to you, O man, what is good; and what is desired from you by the Lord; only doing what is right, and loving mercy, and walking without pride before your God.

24 Wisdom is before the face of him who has sense; but the eyes of the foolish are on the ends of the earth.

1 Happy is the man who does not go in the company of sinners, or take his place in the way of evil-doers, or in the seat of those who do not give honour to the Lord.

2 But whose delight is in the law of the Lord, and whose mind is on his law day and night.

3 He will be like a tree planted by the rivers of water, which gives its fruit at the right time, whose leaves will ever be green; and he will do well in all his undertakings.

4 The evil-doers are not so; but are like the dust from the grain, which the wind takes away.

5 For this cause there will be no mercy for sinners when they are judged, and the evil-doers will have no place among the upright,

6 Because the Lord sees the way of the upright, but the end of the sinner is destruction.

1 There was a man in the land of Uz whose name was Job. He was without sin and upright, fearing God and keeping himself far from evil.
