⁷ Render to all their dues: tribute to whom tribute `is due'; custom to whom custom; fear to whom fear; honor to whom honor.

¹² But above all things, my brethren, swear not, neither by the heaven, nor by the earth, nor by any other oath: but let your yea be yea, and your nay, nay; that ye fall not under judgment.

¹³ He that covereth his transgressions shall not prosper: But whoso confesseth and forsaketh them shall obtain mercy.

³ The integrity of the upright shall guide them; But the perverseness of the treacherous shall destroy them.

⁷ Rest in Jehovah, and wait patiently for him: Fret not thyself because of him who prospereth in his way, Because of the man who bringeth wicked devices to pass.

¹⁵ Give diligence to present thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, handling aright the word of truth.

¹⁸ `My' Little children, let us not love in word, neither with the tongue; but in deed and truth.

⁹ lie not one to another; seeing that ye have put off the old man with his doings,

¹⁴ A man shall be satisfied with good by the fruit of his mouth; And the doings of a man's hands shall be rendered unto him.

¹⁵ The way of a fool is right in his own eyes; But he that is wise hearkeneth unto counsel.

¹⁶ A fool's vexation is presently known; But a prudent man concealeth shame.

¹⁸ There is that speaketh rashly like the piercings of a sword; But the tongue of the wise is health.

⁸ Better is a little, with righteousness, Than great revenues with injustice.

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

²⁷ Withhold not good from them to whom it is due, When it is in the power of thy hand to do it.

³ The integrity of the upright shall guide them; But the perverseness of the treacherous shall destroy them.

⁴ Riches profit not in the day of wrath; But righteousness delivereth from death.

⁵ Well is it with the man that dealeth graciously and lendeth; He shall maintain his cause in judgment.

¹⁷ But the wisdom that is from above is first pure, then peaceable, gentle, easy to be entreated, full of mercy and good fruits, without variance, without hypocrisy.

⁸ Blessed are the pure in heart: for they shall see God.

²⁵ Let thine eyes look right on, And let thine eyelids look straight before thee.
