18 My Little children, let us not love in word, neither with the tongue; but in deed and truth.
9 Do not lie to one another, seeing that you got rid of the old self with its evil practices.

17 He who speaks truth shows righteousness, but a false witness deceit.
8 Better to be poor with righteousness than rich with injustice.

8 »Blessed are the pure in heart, for they will see God.
9 You will understand righteousness and justice. You will have equity and every good course in life.
5 All goes well for the person who is generous and lends willingly. He earns an honest living.
28 A perverse man sows discord. A whisperer separates good friends.
17 Return evil for evil to no man. Provide honest things in the sight of all men.
25 Let your eyes look straight ahead. Let you own eyes gaze be fixed straight in front of you.
