²² that you put away, as concerning your former way of life, the old man, that grows corrupt after the lusts of deceit;

²³ and that you be renewed in the spirit of your mind,

²⁴ and put on the new man, who in the likeness of God has been created in righteousness and holiness of truth.

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

¹² Let no man despise your youth; but be an example to those who believe, in word, in your way of life, in love, in spirit, in faith, and in purity.

⁹ How can a young man keep his way pure? By living according to your word.

¹⁰ With my whole heart, I have sought you. Don't let me wander from your commandments.

¹¹ I have hidden your word in my heart, That I might not sin against you.

¹² Blessed are you, Yahweh. Teach me your statutes.

¹³ With my lips, I have declared all the ordinances of your mouth.

¹⁴ I have rejoiced in the way of your testimonies, As much as in all riches.

¹⁵ I will meditate on your precepts, And consider your ways.

¹⁶ I will delight myself in your statutes. I will not forget your word.

¹⁷ Do good to your servant. I will live and I will obey your word.

¹¹ But you, man of God, flee these things, and follow after righteousness, godliness, faith, love, patience, and gentleness.

¹³ Watch! Stand firm in the faith! Be courageous! Be strong!

¹⁴ Let all that you do be done in love.

¹⁵ Now I beg you, brothers (you know the house of Stephanas, that it is the first fruits of Achaia, and that they have set themselves to minister to the saints),

³¹ We know that God doesn't listen to sinners, but if anyone is a worshipper of God, and does his will, he listens to him.

¹² But as many as received him, to them he gave the right to become God's children, to those who believe in his name:

¹³ who were born not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God.

¹⁴ The Word became flesh, and lived among us. We saw his glory, such glory as of the one and only Son of the Father, full of grace and truth.

⁶ There came a man, sent from God, whose name was John.

⁷ The same came as a witness, that he might testify about the light, that all might believe through him.

⁸ He was not the light, but was sent that he might testify about the light.

⁸ He has shown you, O man, what is good. What does Yahweh require of you, but to act justly, To love mercy, and to walk humbly with your God?

²⁴ Wisdom is before the face of one who has understanding, But the eyes of a fool wander to the ends of the earth.

¹ Blessed is the man who doesn't walk in the counsel of the wicked, Nor stand in the way of sinners, Nor sit in the seat of scoffers;

² But his delight is in Yahweh's law; On his law he meditates day and night.

³ He will be like a tree planted by the streams of water, That brings forth its fruit in its season, Whose leaf also does not wither. Whatever he does shall prosper.

⁴ The wicked are not so, But are like the chaff which the wind drives away.

⁵ Therefore the wicked shall not stand in the judgment, Nor sinners in the congregation of the righteous.

⁶ For Yahweh knows the way of the righteous, But the way of the wicked shall perish.

¹ There was a man in the land of Uz, whose name was Job. That man was blameless and upright, and one who feared God, and turned away from evil.
