  let us therefore cast off the works of darkness,
  and let us put on the armour of light.
• 13 Let us walk honestly, as in the day not in

  wantonness, not in strife and envying.

  not provision for the flesh, to fulfil the lusts
  thereof.

Honesty - Our Neighbor

• 19 And this is the condemnation, that light is
  come into the world, and men loved darkness
  rather than light, because their deeds were evil.
  
• 20 For every one that doeth evil hateth the
  light, neither cometh to the light, lest his
  deeds should be reproved.
• 21 But he that doeth truth cometh to the light,
  that his deeds may be made manifest, that they
  are wrought in God.

  men, who shall be able to teach others also.
• 3 Thou therefore endure hardness, as a good
  soldier of Jesus Christ.

  unto him a penny.
• 20 And he saith unto them, Whose is this image
  and superscription?
• 21 They say unto him, Caesar's. Then saith he
  unto them, Render therefore unto Caesar the
  things which are Caesar's and unto God the
  things that are God's.

  marvelled, and left him, and went their way.

Honesty - Who we listen to

• 7 And it was so, that after the LORD had spoken
  these words unto Job, the LORD said to Eliphaz
  the Temanite, My wrath is kindled against thee,
  and against thy two friends for ye have not
  spoken of me the thing that is right, as my
  servant Job hath.
• 8 Therefore take unto you now seven bullocks and
  seven rams, and go to my servant Job, and offer
  up for yourselves a burnt offering and my
  servant Job shall pray for you for him will I
  accept lest I deal with you after your folly, in
  that ye have not spoken of me the thing which is
  right, like my servant Job.
• 9 So Eliphaz the Temanite and Bildad the Shuhite
  and Zophar the Naamathite went, and did according
  as the LORD commanded them the LORD also
  accepted Job.
• 10 And the LORD turned the captivity of Job, when
  he prayed for his friends also the LORD gave Job
  twice as much as he had before.

  what doth the LORD require of thee, but to do
  justly, and to love mercy, and to walk humbly
  with thy God?
• 10 Are there yet the treasures of wickedness in
  the house of the wicked, and the scant measure
  that is abominable?
• 11 Shall I count them pure with the wicked
  balances, and with the bag of deceitful weights?

Honesty - Everyday life

• 35 But love ye your enemies, and do good, and
  lend, hoping for nothing again and your reward
  shall be great, and ye shall be the children of
  the Highest for he is kind unto the unthankful
  and to the evil.
• 36 Be ye therefore merciful, as your Father also
  is merciful.
• 37 Judge not, and ye shall not be judged condemn
  not, and ye shall not be condemned forgive, and
  ye shall be forgiven
• 38 Give, and it shall be given unto you good
  measure, pressed down, and shaken together, and
  running over, shall men give into your bosom. For
  with the same measure that ye mete withal it
  shall be measured to you again.
