Whoever says “I know him” but does not keep his commandments is a liar, and the truth is not in him,
If we say we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us.

Turn my eyes from looking at worthless things; and give me life in your ways.
Outside are the dogs and sorcerers and the sexually immoral and murderers and idolaters, and everyone who loves and practices falsehood.
Those who pay regard to vain idols forsake their hope of steadfast love.

Through your precepts I get understanding; therefore I hate every false way.
Oh that my ways may be steadfast in keeping your statutes!
Therefore I consider all your precepts to be right; I hate every false way.
