Lord, who can live in your Holy Tent ? Who can live on your holy mountain? Only those who live pure lives, do what is right, and speak the truth from their hearts. Such people don’t say bad things about others. They don’t do things to hurt their neighbors. They don’t tell shameful things about those close to them. They hate those who fail to please God and honor those who respect the Lord. If they make a promise to their neighbor, they do what they promised. If they loan money to someone, they do not charge them interest. And they refuse to testify against an innocent person, even if someone offers them money to do it. Whoever lives like this will always stand strong.
Psalms 15:1-5 ERV
Who are sent by the king. They are sent to punish those who do wrong and to praise those who do good. When you do good, you stop ignorant people from saying foolish things about you. This is what God wants. Live like free people, but don’t use your freedom as an excuse to do evil. Live as those who are serving God. Show respect for all people. Love your brothers and sisters in God’s family. Respect God, and honor the king.
1 Peter 2:13-17 ERV
"The word of God is alive and active, shaper than any double-edged sword. It cuts all the way through, to where soul and spirit meet, to where joints and marrow come together. It judges the desires and thoughts of man's heart. There's nothing that can be hid from God; everything in all creation is exposed and lies open before his eyes. And it's to him that we must all give an account of ourselves". Hebrew 4:12-13
