Honestidade
7 Pay promptly to all men what is due to them: taxes to those to whom taxes are due, toll to those to whom toll is due, respect to those to whom respect is due, honour to those to whom honour is due.
12 But above all things, my brethren, do not swear, either by Heaven or by the earth, or with any other oath. Let your yes' be simply yes,' and your no' be simply no;' that you may not come under condemnation.
16 »When any one lights a lamp, he does not cover it with a vessel or hide it under a couch; he puts it on a lampstand, that people who enter the room may see the light.«
16 Therefore confess your sins to one another, and pray for one another, so that you may be cured. The heartfelt supplication of a righteous man exerts a mighty influence.
2 Nay, we have renounced the secrecy which marks a feeling of shame. We practice no cunning tricks, nor do we adulterate God's Message. But by a full clear statement of the truth we strive to commend ourselves in the presence of God to every human conscience.
15 Earnestly seek to commend yourself to God as a servant who, because of his straightforward dealing with the word of truth, has no reason to feel any shame.
18 Dear children, let us not love in words only nor with the lips, but in deed and in truth.
9 Do not speak falsehoods to one another, for you have stripped off the old self with its doings,
21 For we seek not only God's approval of our integrity, but man's also.
6 If, while we are living in darkness, we profess to have fellowship with Him, we speak falsely and are not adhering to the truth.
6 Why, this is really the reason you pay taxes; for tax-gatherers are ministers of God, devoting their energies to this very work.
17 Pay back to no man evil for evil. Take thought for what is right and seemly in every one's esteem.
17 The wisdom from above is first of all pure, then peaceful, courteous, not self-willed, full of compassion and kind actions, free from favouritism and from all insincerity.
8 »Blessed are the pure in heart, for they shall see God.«
