¹⁷ Since I know, my God, that ^(A)You put the heart to the test and ^(B)delight in uprightness, I, in the integrity of my heart, have willingly offered all these things; so now with joy I have seen Your people, who are present here, make their offerings willingly to You.

¹¹ But ^(A)flee from these things, you ^(B)man of God, and pursue righteousness, godliness, ^(C)faith, ^(D)love, ^[a]perseverance, and gentleness.

²² Now ^(A)flee from youthful lusts and pursue righteousness, ^(B)faith, love, and peace with those who ^(C)call on the Lord ^(D)from a pure heart.
