Who may worship in Your sanctuary, Lord? Who may enter Your presence on Your holy hill?
Those who lead blameless lives
May I be blameless in keeping your decrees (Ps. 119:80)
Those who do what is right
Lead me, O Lord, in Your righteousness (Ps. 5:8)
Those who speak truth from sincere hearts
for I speak the truth and detest every kind of deception (Prov. 8:7)
Those who refuse to gossip
Do not spread slanderous gossip among your people (Lev. 19:16)
or harm their neighbors
Love your neighbors as yourself (Lev. 19:19, Matt. 22:39)
or speak evil of their friends
Keep your tongue from speaking evil and your lips from telling lies (Ps. 34:13)
Those who despise flagrant sinners
Bad company corrupts good character (1 Cor. 15:33)
Oh the joys of those who do not follow the advice of the wicked or stand around with sinners or
join in with mockers. (Ps. 1:1)
and honor the faithful followers of the Lord
Love one another (John 13:34)
and keep their promises even when it hurts
It is better to say nothing than to make a promise and not keep it (Eccl. 5:5)
Simply let your yes be yes and your no be no (Matt. 5:37)
Those who lend money without charging interest
Remember do not charge interest on money you lend (Lev. 25:37)
Be generous and lend them whatever they need (Deut. 15:8)
and who cannot be bribed to lie about the innocent
Take no bribes, for a bribe makes you ignore something that you clearly see (Ex. 23:8)
Fear the Lord and judge with integrity, for the Lord our God does not tolerate perverted justice
or partiality or the taking of bribes (2 Chr. 19:7)
Such people will stand firm forever!
The wicked die and disappear, but the family of the godly stands firm (Prov. 12:73
Be on guard -- Stand firm in the faith - Be courageous - Be strong (1 Cor 16:13)
It is God who enable us to stand firm (2 Cor. 1:21)
Put on all of God's armor so that you will be able to stand firm against the strategies of the devil
(Eph. 6:11)
