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

²⁵ Therefore, putting away falsehood, speak truth each one with his neighbor. For we are members one of another.

⁹ Don't lie to one another, seeing that you have put off the old man with his doings,

¹⁸ Whoever walks blamelessly is kept safe; But one with perverse ways will fall suddenly.

¹² Who is someone who desires life, And loves many days, that he may see good?

¹³ Keep your tongue from evil, And your lips from speaking lies.

⁶ They were both righteous before God, walking blamelessly in all the commandments and ordinances of the Lord.

¹⁰ But glory and honor and peace to every man who works good, to the Jew first, and also to the Greek.

¹⁰ For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared before that we would walk in them.

³³ who, through faith subdued kingdoms, worked out righteousness, obtained promises, stopped the mouths of lions,

⁶ he who says he remains in him ought himself also to walk just like he walked.

⁷ Little children, let no one lead you astray. He who does righteousness is righteous, even as he is righteous.

⁷ Shall it be said, O house of Jacob: "Is the Spirit of Yahweh angry? Are these his doings? Don't my words do good to him who walks blamelessly?"

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

⁸ That he may guard the paths of justice, And preserve the way of his saints.

²⁹ If you know that he is righteous, you know that everyone who practices righteousness is born of him.

¹⁵ He who walks righteously, and speaks blamelessly; he who despises the gain of oppressions, who shakes his hands from taking a bribe, who stops his ears from hearing of blood, and shuts his eyes from looking on evil:

⁴ He who has clean hands and a pure heart; Who has not lifted up his soul to falsehood, And has not sworn deceitfully.

⁸ For he said, Surely, they are my people, children who will not deal falsely: so he was their Savior.

¹⁶ These are the things that you shall do: speak every man the truth with his neighbor. Execute the judgment of truth and peace in your gates,

¹⁷ and let none of you devise evil in your hearts against his neighbor, and love no false oath: for all these are things that I hate," says Yahweh.

³⁵ but in every nation he who fears him and works righteousness is acceptable to him.

¹⁴ But when I saw that they didn't walk uprightly according to the truth of the Gospel, I said to Peter before them all, "If you, being a Jew, live as the Gentiles do, and not as the Jews do, why do you compel the Gentiles to live as the Jews do?

⁸ But for the cowardly, unbelieving, sinners, abominable, murderers, sexually immoral, sorcerers,{The word for "sorcerers" here also includes users of potions and drugs.} idolaters, and all liars, their part is in the lake that burns with fire and sulfur, which is the second death."

¹⁴ Blessed are those who do his commandments, that they may have the right to the tree of life, and may enter in by the gates into the city.

¹⁵ Outside are the dogs, the sorcerers, the sexually immoral, the murderers, the idolaters, and everyone who loves and practices falsehood.

¹¹ For Yahweh God is a sun and a shield. Yahweh will give grace and glory. He withholds no good thing from those who walk blamelessly.
