Psalms 112:5
112:5 It goes well for the one 1 who generously lends money,
and conducts his business honestly. 2
Daniel 6:4-5
6:4 Consequently the supervisors and satraps were trying to find
3 some pretext against Daniel in connection with administrative matters.
4 But they were unable to find any such damaging evidence,
5 because he was trustworthy and guilty of no negligence or corruption.
6
6:5 So these men concluded,
7 “We won’t find any pretext against this man Daniel unless it is
8 in connection with the law of his God.”
Colossians 4:5
4:5 Conduct yourselves
9 with wisdom toward outsiders, making the most of the opportunities.
James 1:5
1:5 But if anyone is deficient in wisdom, he should ask God, who gives to all generously and without reprimand, and it will be given to him.
James 3:17
3:17 But the wisdom from above is first pure, then peaceable, gentle, accommodating,
10 full of mercy and good fruit,
11 impartial, and not hypocritical.
