Personally I am quite certain, my brothers, that even as it is you have ample goodness of heart, you are filled with knowledge of every kind, and you are well able to give advice to one another.

You were astray like sheep, but you have come back now to the Shepherd and Guardian of your souls.

Beloved, do not imitate evil but good; he who does good belongs to God, he who does evil has never seen God.

Righteousness

your life covered with that harvest of righteousness which Jesus Christ produces to the glory and the praise of God.

Shun that, O man of God, aim at integrity, piety, faith, love, stedfastness, and suavity;

he says of the Son, 'God is thy throne for ever and ever, thy royal sceptre is the sceptre of equity:

he bore our sins in his own body on the gibbet, that we might break with sin and live for righteousness; and by his wounds you have been healed.

As you know he is just, be sure that everyone who practises righteousness is born of him.

Anyone who is born of God does not commit sin, for the offspring of God remain in Him, and they cannot sin, because they are born of God.

Truth

we are to hold by the truth, and by our love to grow up wholly into Him. For He, Christ, is the head, and under him,

Hold your ground, tighten the belt of truth about your loins, wear integrity as your coat of mail,

Jesus saw Nathanael approaching and said of him, "Here is a genuine Israelite! There is no guile in him."
