¹⁰ But he knows the way that I take. When he has tried me, I shall come forth like gold.

¹¹ My foot has held fast to his steps. His way have I kept, and not turned aside.

¹² I haven't gone back from the commandment of his lips. I have treasured up the words of his mouth more than my necessary food.

² For in many things we all stumble. If anyone doesn't stumble in word, the same is a perfect man, able to bridle the whole body also.

²⁴ Until now, you have asked nothing in my name. Ask, and you will receive, that your joy may be made full.

³¹ As for God, his way is perfect: The word of Yahweh is tried; He is a shield to all those who take refuge in him.

⁷ He lays up sound wisdom for the upright. He is a shield to those who walk in integrity;

²⁷ Pure religion and undefiled before our God and Father is this: to visit the fatherless and widows in their affliction, and to keep oneself unstained by the world.

¹⁷ Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of lights, with whom can be no variation, nor turning shadow.

¹ > Blessed are those whose ways are blameless, Who walk according to Yahweh's law.

³⁰ As for God, his way is perfect. The word of Yahweh is tried. He is a shield to all those who take refuge in him.

¹⁰ Now I beg you, brothers,{The word for "brothers" here and where context allows may also be correctly translated "brothers and sisters" or "siblings."} through the name of our Lord, Jesus Christ, that you all speak the same thing and that there be no divisions among you, but that you be perfected together in the same mind and in the same judgment.

¹⁴ Above all these things, walk in love, which is the bond of perfection.

² Don't be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, so that you may prove what is the good, well-pleasing, and perfect will of God.

¹¹ I have spoken these things to you, that my joy may remain in you, and that your joy may be made full.

¹⁵ See that no one returns evil for evil to anyone, but always follow after that which is good, for one another, and for all.

²¹ Jesus said to him, "If you want to be perfect, go, sell what you have, and give to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven; and come, follow me."

⁹ Having been made perfect, he became to all of those who obey him the author of eternal salvation,

² He who walks blamelessly does what is right, And speaks truth in his heart;

³ He who doesn't slander with his tongue, Nor does evil to his friend, Nor casts slurs against his fellow man;

⁴ In whose eyes a vile man is despised, But who honors those who fear Yahweh; He who keeps an oath even when it hurts, and doesn't change;
