⁹ (Because the fruit of the light is in all righteousness and in everything which is good and true),

¹⁴ Take your place, then, having your body clothed with the true word, and having put on the breastplate of righteousness;

²⁵ And so, putting away false words, let everyone say what is true to his neighbour: for we are parts one of another.

¹⁴ And I myself am certain of you, brothers, that you are full of what is good, complete in all knowledge, able to give direction to one another.

¹¹ My loved one, do not be copying what is evil, but what is good. He who does good is of God: he who does evil has not seen God.

⁹ Anyone who is a child of God does no sin, because he still has God's seed in him; he is not able to be a sinner, because God is his Father.

¹⁰ In this way it is clear who are the children of God and who are the children of the Evil One; anyone who does not do righteousness or who has no love for his brother, is not a child of God.

²⁹ If you have knowledge that he is upright, it is clear to you that everyone who does righteousness is his offspring.

²⁴ He took our sins on himself, giving his body to be nailed on the tree, so that we, being dead to sin, might have a new life in righteousness, and by his wounds we have been made well.

²⁵ Because, like sheep, you had gone out of the way; but now you have come back to him who keeps watch over your souls.

³³ Who through faith overcame kingdoms, did righteousness, got their reward, kept the mouths of lions shut,

⁸ But of the Son he says, Your seat of power, O God, is for ever and ever; and the rod of your kingdom is a rod of righteousness.

¹¹ But you, O man of God, keep yourself from these things, and go after righteousness, religion, faith, love, a quiet mind, gentle behaviour.

¹¹ Being full of the fruits of righteousness, which are through Jesus Christ, to the glory and praise of God.

¹⁵ But saying true words in love, may come to full growth in him, who is the head, even Christ;

²² But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, a quiet mind, kind acts, well-doing, faith,

²³ Gentle behaviour, control over desires: against such there is no law.

⁴ Or is it nothing to you that God had pity on you, waiting and putting up with you for so long, not seeing that in his pity God's desire is to give you a change of heart?

² O my soul, you have said to the Lord, You are my Lord: I have no good but you.

³ As for the saints who are in the earth, they are the noble in whom is all my delight.

⁴⁷ Jesus saw Nathanael coming to him and said of him, See, here is a true son of Israel in whom there is nothing false.
