Thus you may walk in the way of the good, and keep to the paths of the just.
Depart from me, you wicked, that I may keep the commandments of my God.
I am the friend of all who fear you, of all who observe your precepts.
Walk with the wise and you become wise, but the companion of fools fares badly.
On the way of wisdom I direct you, I lead you on straight paths.
But the path of the just is like shining light, that grows in brilliance till perfect day.
On the way of righteousness I walk, along the paths of justice,
Thus says the Lord: Stand by the earliest roads, ask the pathways of old, “Which is the way to good?” and walk it; thus you will find rest for yourselves. But they said, “We will not walk it.”
so that you may not become sluggish, but imitators of those who, through faith and patience, are inheriting the promises. God’s Promise Immutable.
Beloved, do not imitate evil but imitate good. Whoever does what is good is of God; whoever does what is evil has never seen God.
