11 And, my father,+ see, yes, see the skirt of your sleeveless coat in my hand, for when I cut off the skirt of your sleeveless coat I did not kill you. Know and see that there is no badness+ or revolt in my hand, and I have not sinned against you, while you are lying in wait for my soul to take it away.+

15 And David kept reigning over all Israel;+ and David was continually rendering judicial decision and righteousness+ for all his people.+

8 He has told you, O earthling man,* what is good.+ And what is Jehovah asking back from you but to exercise justice+ and to love kindness*+ and to be modest+ in walking with your God?+

12 For the thing we boast of is this, to which our conscience bears witness,+ that with holiness and godly sincerity, not with fleshly wisdom+ but with God’s undeserved kindness, we have conducted ourselves in the world, but more especially toward YOU.
