Integrity

Psalm 15:1-5 LORD, who shall abide in thy tabernacle? who shall dwell in thy holy hill? 2 He that walketh uprightly, and worketh righteousness, and speaketh the truth in his heart. 3 He that backbiteth not with his tongue, nor doeth evil to his neighbour, nor taketh up a reproach against his neighbour. 4 In whose eyes a vile person is contemned; but he honoureth them that fear the LORD. He that sweareth to his own hurt, and changeth not. 5 He that putteth not out his money to usury, nor taketh reward against the innocent. He that doeth these things shall never be moved.

there (are) certain things that were essential to upholding a good name with integrity. Here are some of those:

1. A Person that is honest.
He that walketh uprightly, and worketh righteousness, and speaketh the truth in his heart.


2. A Person who does not slander
He that backbiteth not with his tongue, nor doeth evil to his neighbour, nor taketh up a reproach against his neighbour.


3. A Person whose values are aligned with Gods
In whose eyes a vile person is contemned; but he honoureth them that fear the LORD.


4. A Person who does not go back on his word
He that sweareth to his own hurt, and changeth not.

Proverbs 24:21 My son, fear thou the LORD and the king: and meddle not with them that are given to change.


5. A Person who deals honestly with money
He that putteth not out his money to usury, nor taketh reward against the innocent.

Proverbs 22:1 A good name is rather to be chosen than great riches, and loving favour rather than silver and gold.
