Proverbs 13:6
Proverbs 13:6
Righteousness keepeth him that is upright in the way: but wickedness overthroweth the sinner.
Righteousness keeps the upright on the path of life, while wickedness leads to downfall. This verse emphasizes the guiding power of integrity and righteousness. Righteousness keeps us aligned with God’s will, while sin and wickedness have the opposite effect, causing us to fall. Integrity serves as a safeguard against the lure of sin and helps us stay on the righteous path. This passage challenges us to pursue righteousness and integrity as a way of life, knowing that these qualities will keep us steady and firm in our faith. Wickedness, on the other hand, will ultimately lead to destruction. The message is clear: living a life of integrity brings security and guidance, while sin leads to ruin.

I know also, my God, that thou triest the heart, and hast pleasure in uprightness.
