Psalm 15

A song of David.

15 Lord, who can live in your Holy Tent[a]?
    Who can live on your holy mountain?
2 Only those who live pure lives, do what is right,
    and speak the truth from their hearts.
3 Such people don’t say bad things about others.
    They don’t do things to hurt their neighbors.
    They don’t tell shameful things about those close to them.
4 They hate those who fail to please God
    and honor those who respect the Lord.
If they make a promise to their neighbor,
    they do what they promised.[b]
5 If they loan money to someone,
    they do not charge them interest.
And they refuse to testify against an innocent person,
    even if someone offers them money to do it.

Whoever lives like this will always stand strong.

Deuteronomy 16:18-20

Judges and Officers for the People

18 “Choose men to be judges and officers in every town that the Lord your God gives you. Every tribe must do this. And these men must be fair in judging the people. 19 You must always be fair. You must not favor some people over other people. You must not take money to change your mind in judgment. Money blinds the eyes of wise people and changes what a good person will say. 20 Goodness and Fairness! You must try very hard to be good and fair all the time. Then you will live and keep the land that the Lord your God is giving you.

1 Peter 3:8-12

Suffering for Doing Right

8 So all of you should live together in peace. Try to understand each other. Love each other like brothers and sisters. Be kind and humble. 9 Don’t do wrong to anyone to pay them back for doing wrong to you. Or don’t insult anyone to pay them back for insulting you. But ask God to bless them. Do this because you yourselves were chosen to receive a blessing. 10 The Scriptures say,

“If you want to enjoy true life
    and have only good days,
then avoid saying anything hurtful,
    and never let a lie come out of your mouth.
11 Stop doing what is wrong, and do good.
    Look for peace, and do all you can to help people live peacefully.
12 The Lord watches over those who do what is right,
    and he listens to their prayers.
But he is against those who do evil.” (A)
