Better is a poor person who walks in his integrity than one who is crooked in speech and is a fool.
Better is a poor man who walks in his integrity than a rich man who is crooked in his ways.
Better is a little with righteousness than great revenues with injustice.
Listen, my beloved brothers, has not God chosen those who are poor in the world to be rich in faith and heirs of the kingdom, which he has promised to those who love him? But you have dishonored the poor man. Are not the rich the ones who oppress you, and the ones who drag you into court?
For what will it profit a man if he gains the whole world and forfeits his soul? Or what shall a man give in return for his soul?
The righteous who walks in his integrity— blessed are his children after him!
What is desired in a man is steadfast love, and a poor man is better than a liar.
Better is a little with the fear of the Lord than great treasure and trouble with it.
Whoever walks in uprightness fears the Lord, but he who is devious in his ways despises him.
For your hands are defiled with blood and your fingers with iniquity; your lips have spoken lies; your tongue mutters wickedness.
One who is righteous is a guide to his neighbor, but the way of the wicked leads them astray.
He is ever lending generously, and his children become a blessing.
But as for me, I shall walk in my integrity; redeem me, and be gracious to me.
Therefore I tell you, every sin and blasphemy will be forgiven people, but the blasphemy against the Spirit will not be forgiven. And whoever speaks a word against the Son of Man will be forgiven, but whoever speaks against the Holy Spirit will not be forgiven, either in this age or in the age to come. “Either make the tree good and its fruit good, or make the tree bad and its fruit bad, for the tree is known by its fruit. You brood of vipers! How can you speak good, when you are evil? For out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaks.
Let not my lord regard this worthless fellow, Nabal, for as his name is, so is he. Nabal is his name, and folly is with him. But I your servant did not see the young men of my lord, whom you sent.
Now therefore know this and consider what you should do, for harm is determined against our master and against all his house, and he is such a worthless man that one cannot speak to him.”
