⁶³ A companion I `am' to all who fear Thee, And to those keeping Thy precepts.

⁶ Mine eyes are on the faithful of the land, To dwell with me, Whoso is walking in a perfect way, he serveth me.

²⁰ Whoso is walking with wise men is wise, And a companion of fools suffereth evil.

¹⁴ Become not yoked with others -- unbelievers, for what partaking `is there' to righteousness and lawlessness?

¹⁵ and what fellowship to light with darkness? and what concord to Christ with Belial? or what part to a believer with an unbeliever?

¹⁶ and what agreement to the sanctuary of God with idols? for ye are a sanctuary of the living God, according as God said -- `I will dwell in them, and will walk among `them', and I will be their God, and they shall be My people,

¹⁷ wherefore, come ye forth out of the midst of them, and be separated, saith the Lord, and an unclean thing do not touch, and I -- I will receive you,

¹¹⁵ Turn aside from me, ye evil-doers, And I keep the commands of my God.

⁷⁹ Those fearing Thee turn back to me, And those knowing Thy testimonies.

¹⁴ we -- we have known that we have passed out of the death to the life, because we love the brethren; he who is not loving the brother doth remain in the death.

³ that which we have seen and heard declare we to you, that ye also may have fellowship with us, and our fellowship `is' with the Father, and with His Son Jesus Christ;

¹⁶ Then have those fearing Jehovah spoken one to another, And Jehovah doth attend and hear, And written is a book of memorial before Him Of those fearing Jehovah, And of those esteeming His name.

¹⁷ And they have been to Me, said Jehovah of Hosts, In the day that I am appointing -- a peculiar treasure, And I have had pity on them, As one hath pity on his son who is serving him.

¹⁸ And ye have turned back and considered, Between the righteous and the wicked, Between the servant of God and him who is not His servant.

⁷ Bring forth from prison my soul to confess Thy name, The righteous do compass me about, When Thou conferrest benefits upon me!

³ For the holy ones who `are' in the land, And the honourable, all my delight `is' in them.
