β€œHe that walketh uprightly, and worketh righteousness, and speaketh the truth in his heart.”

KJV

Meaning

Walking uprightly, doing righteousness, and speaking truth in the heart hold outward conduct and inward honesty together.

Integrity in conduct, speech, and neighbor-love

Verses 2–3 join upright conduct, righteousness, inward truth, disciplined speech, and care for one’s neighbor; integrity is both inward and relational.

Read carefully

Walking uprightly, doing righteousness, and speaking truth in the heart hold outward conduct and inward honesty together. Keep the verse within its literary unit.

Reflection

Use this verse for self-examination before God, not as a checklist for declaring other people unworthy of worship, dignity, safety, or care.
