Bible verses about
Integrity
“Better is the poor who walks in his integrity than he who is perverse in his lips and is a fool,” wise King Solomon advises (Proverbs 19:1 WEB).
Integrity is a personal commitment to do the right thing no matter what. It does not change according to the opinions of others. It is not susceptible to bribery, threats, or extortion. Those with integrity follow Jesus wherever He leads, making an unwavering decision to hold fast to what they know is right.
