²¹ for we take thought for things honorable, not only in the sight of the Lord, but also in the sight of men.

¹⁷ Render to no man evil for evil. Take thought for things honorable in the sight of all men.

¹² having your behavior seemly among the Gentiles; that, wherein they speak against you as evil-doers, they may by your good works, which they behold, glorify God in the day of visitation.

⁸ Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honorable, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things.

¹⁸ For he that herein serveth Christ is well-pleasing to God, and approved of men.

⁵ `to be' sober-minded, chaste, workers at home, kind, being in subjection to their own husbands, that the word of God be not blasphemed:

⁶ the younger men likewise exhort to be sober-minded:

⁷ in all things showing thyself an ensample of good works; in thy doctrine `showing' uncorruptness, gravity,

⁸ sound speech, that cannot be condemned; that he that is of the contrary part may be ashamed, having no evil thing to say of us.

¹⁴ I desire therefore that the younger `widows' marry, bear children, rule the household, give no occasion to the adversary for reviling:

²² abstain from every form of evil.

¹⁷ For we are not as the many, corrupting the word of God: but as of sincerity, but as of God, in the sight of God, speak we in Christ.

⁹ Wherefore also we make it our aim, whether at home or absent, to be well-pleasing unto him.

¹⁰ For we must all be made manifest before the judgment-seat of Christ; that each one may receive the things `done' in the body, according to what he hath done, whether `it be' good or bad.

¹¹ Knowing therefore the fear of the Lord, we persuade men, but we are made manifest unto God; and I hope that we are made manifest also in your consciences.

⁵ But all their works they do to be seen of men: for they make broad their phylacteries, and enlarge the borders `of their garments',

⁴ that thine alms may be in secret: and thy Father who seeth in secret shall recompense thee.

¹ Take heed that ye do not your righteousness before men, to be seen of them: else ye have no reward with your Father who is in heaven.

¹⁶ Even so let your light shine before men; that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father who is in heaven.
