Psalm 112:4

Treasury of Scripture Knowledge

Unto the upright there ariseth light in the darkness: he is gracious, and full of compassion, and righteous.

I have come as a light into the world, that whoever believes in me should not remain in darkness.

Be merciful, just as your Father is merciful.

I am not speaking this as a command, but I want to test the sincerity of your love by comparing it with the earnestness of others.

Be kind and tenderhearted to one another, forgiving each other, just as in Christ God forgave you.

Therefore be imitators of God, as beloved children;

So, as God's chosen ones, holy and beloved, put on a heart of compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness and patience;

For the grace of God that brings salvation has appeared to all men,

If you know that he is righteous, you know that everyone who does right is born of him.

Little children, let no one deceive you. He who does right is righteous, just as he is righteous.
