7 Give to all what is their right: taxes to him whose they are, payment to him whose right it is, fear to whom fear, honour to whom honour is to be given.
3 The righteousness of the upright will be their guide, but the twisted ways of the false will be their destruction.
13 He who keeps his sins secret will not do well; but one who is open about them, and gives them up, will get mercy.
2 Wealth which comes from sin is of no profit, but righteousness gives salvation from death.
2 And we have given up the secret things of shame, not walking in false ways, and not making use of the word of God with deceit; but by the revelation of what is true, as before God, we have the approval of every man's sense of right and wrong.
15 Let it be your care to get the approval of God, as a workman who has no cause for shame, giving the true word in the right way.
12 But most of all, my brothers, do not take oaths, not by the heaven, or by the earth, or by any other thing: but let your Yes be Yes, and your No be No: so that you may not be judged.
16 No man, when the light is lighted, puts a cover over it, or puts it under a bed, but he puts it on its table, so that those who come in may see the light.
16 So then, make a statement of your sins to one another, and say prayers for one another so that you may be made well. The prayer of a good man is full of power in its working.
7 Take your rest in the Lord, waiting quietly for him; do not be angry because of the man who does well in his evil ways, and gives effect to his bad designs.
18 My little children, do not let our love be in word and in tongue, but let it be in act and in good faith.
8 Better is a little with righteousness, than great wealth with wrongdoing.
6 For the same reason, make payment of taxes; because the authority is God's servant, to take care of such things at all times.
27 Do not keep back good from those who have a right to it, when it is in the power of your hand to do it.
13 In the sin of the lips is a net which takes the sinner, but the upright man will come out of trouble.
17 The breathing out of true words gives knowledge of righteousness; but a false witness gives out deceit.
9 Do not make false statements to one another; because you have put away the old man with all his doings,
6 If we say we are joined to him, and are walking still in the dark, our words are false and our acts are untrue:
21 For the business has been so ordered by us as to have the approval, not only of the Lord, but of men.
28 A man of twisted purposes is a cause of fighting everywhere: and he who says evil secretly makes trouble between friends.
3 To do what is right and true is more pleasing to the Lord than an offering.
17 Do not give evil for evil to any man. Let all your business be well ordered in the eyes of all men.
1 Scales of deceit are hated by the Lord, but a true weight is his delight.
3 The righteousness of the upright will be their guide, but the twisted ways of the false will be their destruction.
8 Happy are the clean in heart: for they will see God.
5 All is well for the man who is kind and gives freely to others; he will make good his cause when he is judged.
25 Keep your eyes on what is in front of you, looking straight before you.
9 Then you will have knowledge of righteousness and right acting, and upright behaviour, even of every good way.
17 But the wisdom which is from heaven is first holy, then gentle, readily giving way in argument, full of peace and mercy and good works, not doubting, not seeming other than it is.
