So she lay at his feet until the morning, but arose before one could recognize another. And he said, “Let it not be known that the woman came to the threshing floor.”
for we aim at what is honorable not only in the Lord's sight but also in the sight of man.
So do not let what you regard as good be spoken of as evil.
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.
Give no offense to Jews or to Greeks or to the church of God,
Abstain from every form of evil.
Repay no one evil for evil, but give thought to do what is honorable in the sight of all.
A good name is better than precious ointment, and the day of death than the day of birth.
