2 He that walketh uprightly, and worketh righteousness, and speaketh the truth from his heart.
Wherefore, having put off falsehood, speak truth every one with his neighbour, because we are members one of another.
Do not lie to one another, having put off the old man with his deeds,
What man is he that desireth life, [and] loveth days, that he may see good? Keep thy tongue from evil, and thy lips from speaking guile;
O thou [that art] named the house of Jacob, Is Jehovah impatient? are these his doings? Do not my words do good to him that walketh uprightly?
He that says he abides in him ought, even as *he* walked, himself also [so] to walk.
who by faith overcame kingdoms, wrought righteousness, obtained promises, stopped lions' mouths,
but glory and honour and peace to every one that works good, both to Jew first and to Greek:
And they were both just before God, walking in all the commandments and ordinances of the Lord blameless.
If ye know that he is righteous, know that every one who practises righteousness is begotten of him.
-- He that walketh righteously, and speaketh uprightly; he that despiseth the gain of oppressions, that shaketh his hands from taking hold of bribes, that stoppeth his ears from hearing of blood, and shutteth his eyes from seeing evil:
For Jehovah Elohim is a sun and shield: Jehovah will give grace and glory; no good thing will he withhold from them that walk uprightly.
Blessed [are] they that wash their robes, that they may have right to the tree of life, and that they should go in by the gates into the city. Without [are] the dogs, and the sorcerers, and the fornicators, and the murderers, and the idolaters, and every one that loves and makes a lie.
But to the fearful and unbelieving, [and sinners], and those who make themselves abominable, and murderers, and fornicators, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all liars, their part [is] in the lake which burns with fire and brimstone; which is the second death.
But when I saw that they do not walk straightforwardly, according to the truth of the glad tidings, I said to Peter before all, If *thou*, being a Jew, livest as the nations and not as the Jews, how dost thou compel the nations to Judaize?
but in every nation he that fears him and works righteousness is acceptable to him.
These are the things that ye shall do: Speak truth every one with his neighbour; execute truth and the judgment of peace in your gates; and let none of you imagine evil in your hearts against his neighbour; and love no false oath: for all these are [things] that I hate, saith Jehovah.

Psalm 15
The scope of this short but excellent psalm is to show us the way to heaven, and to convince us that, if we would be happy, we must be holy and honest. Christ, who is himself the way, and in whom we must walk as our way, has also shown us the same way that is here prescribed, Mt. 19:17. "If thou wilt enter into life, keep the commandments.' In this psalm,

Psa 15:1-5
Here is,
In singing this psalm we must teach and admonish ourselves, and one another, to answer the characters here given of the citizen of Zion, that we may never be moved from God's tabernacle on earth, and may arrive, at last, at that holy hill where we shall be for ever out of the reach of temptation and danger.
