Being Righteous/Having Integrity
Having FAITH, RELYING ON THE POWER OF GOD IN YOU, is how we live in this righteous calling. Amen?!! Ro 1:16-17, Gal 2:20, Heb 11:6

Being Righteous/Having Integrity
The quality of our speech is directly connected to the motivation of love.

Being Righteous/Having Integrity
A godly person will do what he says, and say what he does, by faith. The two will line up. That's called living in integrity to the Word of God. (not perfectly, but on a habitual basis; that's his lifestyle) Jas 5:12

Ps 15:4
in whose eyes a vile person is despised, but who honors those who fear the LORD; who swears to his own hurt and does not change;

Integrity to the Word
By faith, the righteous person doesn't move away from Truth, and although it might hurt in the short term, they know God will bless them out in the long term.

Jn 1:47 NLT
As they approached, Jesus said, "Now here is a genuine son of Israel—a man of complete integrity."

Jn 8:44
You are of your father the devil, and your will is to do your father's desires. He was a murderer from the beginning, and does not stand in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he lies, he speaks out of his own character, for he is a liar and the father of lies.

Being a “fool”
This has nothing to do with IQ. A “fool”, according to Holy Scripture, is the person who lacks respect for the Lord, their Creator.

“Practicing” Arrogance
When an arrogant person is ignorant, they simply modify the world around them to suit themselves…and then they call it “truth”.

What  is “Appropriate” According to God’s Word?
The Bible calls out “fools” as lacking the ability to do what is appropriate in God’s eyes. The primary reason is a disrespect for God – fools do not fear the Lord; therefore, their moral compass is evil and misleading.
