that you may walk worthily of the Lord, to please him in all respects, bearing fruit in every good work and increasing in the knowledge of God,

For it is God who works in you both to will and to work, for his good pleasure.

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

The voice of one who calls out, “Prepare the way of Yahweh in the wilderness! Make a level highway in the desert for our God.

Life will be clearer than the noonday. Though there is darkness, it will be as the morning.

Search me, God, and know my heart. Try me, and know my thoughts.

I will also give you a new heart, and I will put a new spirit within you. I will take away the stony heart out of your flesh, and I will give you a heart of flesh.

But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faith,

You will also decree a thing, and it will be established to you. Light will shine on your ways.

Yahweh is good, a stronghold in the day of trouble; and he knows those who take refuge in him.

Having regard for honorable things, not only in the sight of the Lord, but also in the sight of men.

And God is able to make all grace abound to you, that you, always having all sufficiency in everything, may abound to every good work.

even as he chose us in him before the foundation of the world, that we would be holy and without defect before him in love,

that you may become blameless and harmless, children of God without defect in the middle of a crooked and perverse generation, among whom you are seen as lights in the world,

However God’s firm foundation stands, having this seal, “The Lord knows those who are his,” and, “Let every one who names the name of the Lord depart from unrighteousness.”

but given to hospitality, a lover of good, sober minded, fair, holy, self-controlled,

Create in me a clean heart, O God. Renew a right spirit within me.

Then your light will break out as the morning, and your healing will appear quickly; then your righteousness shall go before you, and Yahweh’s glory will be your rear guard.

I am the good shepherd. I know my own, and I’m known by my own;

For whom he foreknew, he also predestined to be conformed to the image of his Son, that he might be the firstborn among many brothers.

being confident of this very thing, that he who began a good work in you will complete it until the day of Jesus Christ.

who gave himself for us, that he might redeem us from all iniquity, and purify for himself a people for his own possession, zealous for good works.

Yes, and for this very cause adding on your part all diligence, in your faith supply moral excellence; and in moral excellence, knowledge;

Know that Yahweh, he is God. It is he who has made us, and we are his. We are his people, and the sheep of his pasture.

But if anyone loves God, the same is known by him.

for by grace you have been saved through faith, and that not of yourselves; it is the gift of God,

that each person who belongs to God may be complete, thoroughly equipped for every good work.

Pray for us, for we are persuaded that we have a good conscience, desiring to live honorably in all things.

He who acts unjustly, let him act unjustly still. He who is filthy, let him be filthy still. He who is righteous, let him do righteousness still. He who is holy, let him be holy still.”

shall be as the light of the morning, when the sun rises, a morning without clouds, when the tender grass springs out of the earth, through clear shining after rain.’

He restores my soul. He guides me in the paths of righteousness for his name’s sake.

The sacrifice made by the wicked is an abomination to Yahweh, but the prayer of the upright is his delight.

There is a generation that is pure in their own eyes, yet are not washed from their filthiness.

If anyone therefore purges himself from these, he will be a vessel for honor, sanctified, and suitable for the master’s use, prepared for every good work.

This saying is faithful, and concerning these things I desire that you affirm confidently, so that those who have believed God may be careful to maintain good works. These things are good and profitable to men;

Let our people also learn to maintain good works for necessary uses, that they may not be unfruitful.

There is no creature that is hidden from his sight, but all things are naked and laid open before the eyes of him to whom we must give an account.

having good behavior among the nations, so in that of which they speak against you as evildoers, they may by your good works, which they see, glorify God in the day of visitation.

He uncovers deep things out of darkness, and brings out to light the shadow of death.

Yet the righteous will hold to his way. He who has clean hands will grow stronger and stronger.

He loves righteousness and justice. The earth is full of the loving kindness of Yahweh.

They go from strength to strength. Every one of them appears before God in Zion.

His offspring will be mighty in the land. The generation of the upright will be blessed.

Yahweh preserves the foreigners. He upholds the fatherless and widow, but he turns the way of the wicked upside down.

For God will bring every work into judgment, with every hidden thing, whether it is good, or whether it is evil.

and when you turn to the right hand, and when you turn to the left, your ears will hear a voice behind you, saying, “This is the way. Walk in it.”

everyone who is called by my name, and whom I have created for my glory, whom I have formed, yes, whom I have made.’ ”

the people which I formed for myself, that they might declare my praise.

They are new every morning. Great is your faithfulness.

Therefore don’t be afraid of them, for there is nothing covered that will not be revealed; and hidden that will not be known.

For nothing is hidden that will not be revealed; nor anything secret that will not be known and come to light.

He said to them, “You are those who justify yourselves in the sight of men, but God knows your hearts. For that which is exalted among men is an abomination in the sight of God.

But he who does the truth comes to the light, that his works may be revealed, that they have been done in God.”

Again, therefore, Jesus spoke to them, saying, “I am the light of the world. He who follows me will not walk in the darkness, but will have the light of life.”

You will know the truth, and the truth will make you free.”

Therefore you are without excuse, O man, whoever you are who judge. For in that which you judge another, you condemn yourself. For you who judge practice the same things.

in the day when God will judge the secrets of men, according to my Good News, by Jesus Christ.

Because of him, you are in Christ Jesus, who was made to us wisdom from God, and righteousness and sanctification, and redemption:

each man’s work will be revealed. For the Day will declare it, because it is revealed in fire; and the fire itself will test what sort of work each man’s work is.

For we must all be revealed before the judgment seat of Christ that each one may receive the things in the body according to what he has done, whether good or bad.

For it isn’t he who commends himself who is approved, but whom the Lord commends.

Finally, be strong in the Lord, and in the strength of his might.

and have put on the new man, who is being renewed in knowledge after the image of his Creator,

Abstain from every form of evil.

Don’t grumble, brothers, against one another, so that you won’t be judged. Behold, the judge stands at the door.

Seeing you have purified your souls in your obedience to the truth through the Spirit in sincere brotherly affection, love one another from the heart fervently,

Everyone who has this hope set on him purifies himself, even as he is pure.

But the path of the righteous is like the dawning light that shines more and more until the perfect day.

With the merciful you will show yourself merciful. With the perfect man, you will show yourself perfect.

All the ways of a man are clean in his own eyes; but Yahweh weighs the motives.

Finally, brothers, whatever things are true, whatever things are honorable, whatever things are just, whatever things are pure, whatever things are lovely, whatever things are of good report: if there is any virtue and if there is any praise, think about these things.

“Don’t keep talking so exceedingly proudly. Don’t let arrogance come out of your mouth, for Yahweh is a God of knowledge. By him actions are weighed.

I know also, my God, that you try the heart, and have pleasure in uprightness. As for me, in the uprightness of my heart I have willingly offered all these things. Now I have seen with joy your people, who are present here, offer willingly to you.

(let me be weighed in an even balance, that God may know my integrity);

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

Yahweh is in his holy temple. Yahweh is on his throne in heaven. His eyes observe. His eyes examine the children of men.

For Yahweh is righteous. He loves righteousness. The upright shall see his face.

Good and upright is Yahweh, therefore he will instruct sinners in the way.

No, in your heart you plot injustice. You measure out the violence of your hands in the earth.

The way of the wicked is an abomination to Yahweh, but he loves him who follows after righteousness.

A righteous man walks in integrity. Blessed are his children after him.

A highway will be there, a road, and it will be called “The Holy Way”. The unclean shall not pass over it, but it will be for those who walk in the Way. Wicked fools shall not go there.

I will bring the blind by a way that they don’t know. I will lead them in paths that they don’t know. I will make darkness light before them, and crooked places straight. I will do these things, and I will not forsake them.

He enters into peace. They rest in their beds, each one who walks in his uprightness.

Who is wise, that he may understand these things? Who is prudent, that he may know them? For the ways of Yahweh are right, and the righteous walk in them; But the rebellious stumble in them.

Yahweh, within her, is righteous. He will do no wrong. Every morning he brings his justice to light. He doesn’t fail, but the unjust know no shame.

Therefore judge nothing before the time, until the Lord comes, who will both bring to light the hidden things of darkness, and reveal the counsels of the hearts. Then each man will get his praise from God.

For our boasting is this: the testimony of our conscience, that in holiness and sincerity of God, not in fleshly wisdom but in the grace of God we behaved ourselves in the world, and more abundantly toward you.

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

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

In this the children of God are revealed, and the children of the devil. Whoever doesn’t do righteousness is not of God, neither is he who doesn’t love his brother.
