To do what is right and just is more acceptable to the Lord than sacrifice.
Proverbs 21:3

Someone once said, "Some are honest only because they have never had opportunity to be dishonest."
But there is a better way.

One of my favorite verses about honesty is Philippians 4:8 --King James Version (KJV) " Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things."

"The integrity of the honest keeps them on tract." Proverbs 11:3
