12 And before all things, my brethren, do not swear, neither by the heaven, neither by the earth, neither by any other oath, and let your Yes be Yes, and the No, No; that under judgment ye may not fall.
7 render, therefore, to all [their] dues; to whom tribute, the tribute; to whom custom, the custom; to whom fear, the fear; to whom honour, the honour.
13 Whoso is covering his transgressions prospereth not, And he who is confessing and forsaking hath mercy.
16 And no one having lighted a lamp doth cover it with a vessel, or under a couch doth put [it]; but upon a lamp-stand he doth put [it], that those coming in may see the light,
2 Treasures of wickedness profit not, And righteousness delivereth from death.
16 Be confessing to one another the trespasses, and be praying for one another, that ye may be healed; very strong is a working supplication of a righteous man;
2 but did renounce for ourselves the hidden things of shame, not walking in craftiness, nor deceitfully using the word of God, but by the manifestation of the truth recommending ourselves unto every conscience of men, before God;
7 Be silent for Jehovah, and stay thyself for Him, Do not fret because of him Who is making prosperous his way, Because of a man doing wicked devices.
18 My little children, may we not love in word nor in tongue, but in word and in truth!
8 Better [is] a little with righteousness, Than abundance of increase without justice.
6 if we may say -- we have fellowship with Him, and in the darkness may walk -- we lie, and do not the truth;
6 for because of this also pay ye tribute; for servants of God they are, on this very thing attending continually;
27 Withhold not good from its owners, When thy hand [is] toward God to do [it].
17 giving back to no one evil for evil; providing right things before all men.
9 Lie not one to another, having put off the old man with his practices,
1 Balances of deceit [are] an abomination to Jehovah, And a perfect weight [is] His delight.
3 The integrity of the upright leadeth them, And the perverseness of the treacherous destroyeth them.
21 providing right things, not only before the Lord, but also before men;
28 A froward man sendeth forth contention, A tale-bearer is separating a familiar friend.
5 Good [is] the man -- gracious and lending, He sustaineth his matters in judgment.
25 Thine eyes do look straightforward, And thine eyelids look straight before thee.
9 Then understandest thou righteousness, And judgment, and uprightness -- every good path.
3 To do righteousness and judgment, Is chosen of Jehovah rather than sacrifice.
17 and the wisdom from above, first, indeed, is pure, then peaceable, gentle, easily entreated, full of kindness and good fruits, uncontentious, and unhypocritical: --
8 Happy the clean in heart -- because they shall see God.
3 The integrity of the upright leadeth them, And the perverseness of the treacherous destroyeth them.
15 be diligent to present thyself approved to God -- a workman irreproachable, rightly dividing the word of the truth;
13 In transgression of the lips [is] the snare of the wicked, And the righteous goeth out from distress.
17 Whoso uttereth faithfulness declareth righteousness, And a false witness -- deceit.
