You are witnesses, and so is God, of how holy, righteous and blameless we were among you who believed.

You are witnesses of how we lived among you believers. God is also a witness that we were holy and godly and without blame.

You are witnesses, and God also, how holy and righteous and blameless was our conduct toward you believers.

You yourselves are our witnesses— and so is God— that we were devout and honest and faultless toward all of you believers.

You are witnesses, and so is God, of how devoutly, righteously, and blamelessly we conducted ourselves with you believers.

You are witnesses, and so is God, of how devoutly and rightly and blamelessly we behaved toward you believers;

You are witnesses, and God also, how devoutly and justly and blamelessly we behaved ourselves among you who believe;

You are witnesses, and so is God, as to how holy and righteous and blameless our conduct was toward you who believe.

You are witnesses with God how holy, righteously, and blamelessly we behaved ourselves toward you who believe.

For our gospel did not come to you in word only, but also in power, in the Holy Spirit, and with much assurance. You know what kind of men we were among you for your benefit,

For this is our confidence: The testimony of our conscience is that we have conducted ourselves in the world, and especially toward you, with God-given sincerity and purity, not by fleshly wisdom but by God’s grace.

in everything. Make yourself an example of good works with integrity and dignity in your teaching.Your message is to be sound beyond reproach, so that the opponent will be ashamed, having nothing bad to say about us.

And when they came to him, he said to them:“ You know, from the first day I set foot in Asia, how I was with you the whole time—

But you have followed my teaching, conduct, purpose, faith, patience, love, and endurance,

not lording it over those entrusted to you, but being examples to the flock.

For you yourselves know how you must imitate us: We were not irresponsible among you;

When they heard me, they blessed me, and when they saw me, they spoke well of me.For I rescued the poor man who cried out for help, and the fatherless child who had no one to support him.The dying man blessed me, and I made the widow’s heart rejoice.I clothed myself in righteousness, and it enveloped me; my just decisions were like a robe and a turban.I was eyes to the blind and feet to the lame.I was a father to the needy, and I examined the case of the stranger.I shattered the fangs of the unjust and snatched the prey from his teeth.

For we never used flattering speech, as you know, or had greedy motives— God is our witness—

Therefore I testify to you this day that I am innocent of everyone’s blood,

Should good be repaid with evil? Yet they have dug a pit for me. Remember how I stood before You to speak good on their behalf, to turn Your anger from them.

We give no opportunity for stumbling to anyone, so that the ministry will not be blamed.But as God’s ministers, we commend ourselves in everything: by great endurance, by afflictions, by hardship, by difficulties,by beatings, by imprisonments, by riots, by labors, by sleepless nights, by times of hunger,by purity, by knowledge, by patience, by kindness, by the Holy Spirit, by sincere love,by the message of truth, by the power of God; through weapons of righteousness on the right hand and the left,through glory and dishonor, through slander and good report; as deceivers yet true;as unknown yet recognized; as dying and look— we live; as being disciplined yet not killed;as grieving yet always rejoicing; as poor yet enriching many; as having nothing yet possessing everything.

I always do my best to have a clear conscience toward God and men.

Instead, we have renounced shameful secret things, not walking in deceit or distorting God’s message, but commending ourselves to every person’s conscience in God’s sight by an open display of the truth.

I have not coveted anyone’s silver or gold or clothing.You yourselves know that these hands have provided for my needs and for those who were with me.

Here I am. Bring charges against me before the Lord and His anointed: Whose ox or donkey have I taken? Whom have I wronged or mistreated? From whose hand have I taken a bribe to overlook something? I will return it to you.”“ You haven’t wronged us, you haven’t mistreated us, and you haven’t taken anything from anyone’s hand,” they responded.He said to them,“ The Lord is a witness against you, and His anointed is a witness today that you haven’t found anything in my hand.”“ He is a witness,” they said.

Why? Because I don’t love you? God knows I do!

Yahweh my God, if I have done this, if there is injustice on my hands,if I have done harm to one at peace with me or have plundered my adversary without cause,may an enemy pursue and overtake me; may he trample me to the ground and leave my honor in the dust. Selah

Therefore, because we know the fear of the Lord, we seek to persuade people. We are completely open before God, and I hope we are completely open to your consciences as well.

Let no one despise your youth; instead, you should be an example to the believers in speech, in conduct, in love, in faith, in purity.

The God and Father of the Lord Jesus, who is praised forever, knows I am not lying.

Accept us. We have wronged no one, corrupted no one, defrauded no one.

Then Moses became angry and said to the Lord,“ Don’t respect their offering. I have not taken one donkey from them or mistreated a single one of them.”

I have made a covenant with my eyes. How then could I look at a young woman?For what portion would I have from God above, or what inheritance from the Almighty on high?Doesn’t disaster come to the unjust and misfortune to evildoers?Does He not see my ways and number all my steps?If I have walked in falsehood or my foot has rushed to deceit,let God weigh me in accurate scales, and He will recognize my integrity.If my step has turned from the way, my heart has followed my eyes, or impurity has stained my hands,let someone else eat what I have sown, and let my crops be uprooted.If my heart has been seduced by my neighbor’s wife or I have lurked at his door,let my own wife grind grain for another man, and let other men sleep with her.For that would be a disgrace; it would be a crime deserving punishment.For it is a fire that consumes down to Abaddon; it would destroy my entire harvest.If I have dismissed the case of my male or female servants when they made a complaint against me,what could I do when God stands up to judge? How should I answer Him when He calls me to account?Did not the One who made me in the womb also make them? Did not the same God form us both in the womb?If I have refused the wishes of the poor or let the widow’s eyes go blind,if I have eaten my few crumbs alone without letting the fatherless eat any of it—for from my youth, I raised him as his father, and since the day I was born I guided the widow—if I have seen anyone dying for lack of clothing or a needy person without a cloak,if he did not bless me while warming himself with the fleece from my sheep,if I ever cast my vote against a fatherless child when I saw that I had support in the city gate,then let my shoulder blade fall from my back, and my arm be pulled from its socket.For disaster from God terrifies me, and because of His majesty I could not do these things.If I placed my confidence in gold or called fine gold my trust,if I have rejoiced because my wealth is great or because my own hand has acquired so much,if I have gazed at the sun when it was shining or at the moon moving in splendor,so that my heart was secretly enticed and I threw them a kiss,this would also be a crime deserving punishment, for I would have denied God above.Have I rejoiced over my enemy’s distress, or become excited when trouble came his way?I have not allowed my mouth to sin by asking for his life with a curse.Haven’t the members of my household said,“ Who is there who has not had enough to eat at Job’s table?”No stranger had to spend the night on the street, for I opened my door to the traveler.Have I covered my transgressions as others do by hiding my guilt in my heart,because I greatly feared the crowds, and the contempt of the clans terrified me, so I grew silent and would not go outside?If only I had someone to hear my case! Here is my signature; let the Almighty answer me. Let my Opponent compose His indictment.I would surely carry it on my shoulder and wear it like a crown.I would give Him an account of all my steps; I would approach Him like a prince.If my land cries out against me and its furrows join in weeping,if I have consumed its produce without payment or shown contempt for its tenants,

The Lord rewarded me according to my righteousness; He repaid me according to the cleanness of my hands.For I have kept the ways of the Lord and have not turned from my God to wickedness.Indeed, I have kept all His ordinances in mind and have not disregarded His statutes.I was blameless toward Him and kept myself from sinning.So the Lord repaid me according to my righteousness, according to the cleanness of my hands in His sight.
