There shall be there a pure way, and it shall be called a holy way; and there shall not pass by there any unclean person, neither shall there be there an unclean way; but the dispersed shall walk on it, and they shall not go astray.

And I know, O Lord, that You are He that searches the hearts, and You love righteousness. I have willingly offered all these things in simplicity of heart. And now I have seen with joy Your people, who are present here, willingly offering to You.

Far be it from me that I should justify you till I die! For I will not let go my innocence,

but keeping fast to my righteousness, I will by no means let it go: for I am not conscious to myself of having done anything amiss.

And I shall be blameless before Him, and shall keep myself from my iniquity.

With the holy, You shall be holy; and with the blameless, You shall be blameless.

He that walks blameless in justice shall leave his children blessed.

For our boasting is this: the testimony of our conscience, that we have conducted ourselves in the world in simplicity and godly sincerity, not with fleshly wisdom but by the grace of God, and especially toward you.

For we are His handiwork, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand that we should walk in them.

Little children, let no one deceive you. The [one] who practices righteousness is righteous, just as He is righteous.

By this the children of God and the children of the devil are manifest: Everyone who does not practice righteousness is not of God, nor is he who does not love his brother.

For there is none holy like the Lord, and there is none righteous as our God; there is none holy besides You.

The bow of the mighty has grown feeble, and the weak have girded themselves with strength.

(for I am weighed in a just balance, and the Lord knows my innocence:)

For the Lord knows the way of the righteous; but the way of the ungodly shall perish.

The Lord is in His holy temple; as for the Lord, His throne is in heaven: His eyes look upon the poor, His eyelids test the sons of men.

For the Lord [is] righteous, and loves righteousness; His face beholds uprightness.

But the righteous Lord is in the midst of her, and He will never do an unjust thing: morning by morning He will bring out His judgment to the light, and it is not hidden, and He knows not injustice by extortion, nor injustice in strife.

So then judge nothing before the time, until the Lord comes, who also will bring to light the hidden things of darkness, and will make clear the purposes of the hearts. Then each one's praise shall come from God.
