Scripture about Integrity KJV
Kathi Macias, Author, Speaker, and Minister says: “Integrity is doing the right thing even when no one is looking.” The definition of integrity according to Webster’s Dictionary is “adherence to moral and ethical principles; soundness of moral character; honesty.” So the definition according to Scripture would simply be “doing the right thing.” This covers all areas of life—personal, business, financial, social, etc. There are no specific scriptures that address integrity specifically, but there are many scriptures that deal with morality and ethics which include principles that support integrity.
FAQ about Integrity
Integrity is important for Christians because it is one of the fruits of the Holy Spirit. Other fruits of the Spirit include love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control. When we have integrity, we are more likely to exhibit these other qualities as well. Integrity is also important because it is one of the key character traits that God looks for in people. In Proverbs 22:1, we are told “A good name is more desirable than great riches; to be esteemed is better than silver or gold.” A good reputation is worth far more than any amount of money.
The Bible doesn’t mention the word “integrity” specifically, but there are several verses that speak to the importance of having integrity. For example, in Proverbs 10:9 it says “Whoever walks with integrity walks securely, but he who makes his ways crooked will be found out.” And in 1 Peter 2:12 it says “Keep your conduct among the Gentiles honorable, so that when they speak against you as evildoers, they may see your good deeds and glorify God on the day of visitation.”
The Bible says that integrity and honesty are two of the most important virtues a person can possess. “Do not be misled: ‘Bad company corrupts good character.'” (1 Corinthians 15:33) One of the clearest examples of integrity in the Bible is found in the story of David and Goliath. Even though Goliath was a giant, David refused to back down or run away, because he knew that God was on his side. He also had the courage to stand up for what he believed in, even when it was unpopular.
God’s integrity is His excellence, perfection, and wholeness. It is who He is in His very nature. From our finite human perspective, we can see integrity as something we aspire to – being honest, having strong moral principles, being whole and complete. But for God, His integrity is simply who He is. It’s not something He has to strive for or work at – it’s just who He is. And because of that, we can trust Him completely. Integrity requires honorable character – and we know that God is trustworthy because He has perfect character. When we put our faith in Him, we can be confident that He will come through for us – because He always keeps His promises. We may not always understand why He does things the way He does, but we can trust that His ways are always good and right. And because of that, we can have hope in the midst of difficult times, knowing that He is ultimately in control and will work all things for our good.
