of

the

good

man

?

Be

followers

of

his

compassion

in

a

good

mind

,

that

ye

also

may

wear

crowns

of

glory

.

The

good

man

hath

not

a

dark

eye

;

for

he

showeth

mercy

to

all

men

,

even

though

they

be

sinners

,

even

though

they

devise

evil

concerning

him

.

So

he

that

doeth

good

overcometh

the

evil

,

being

shielded

by

Him

that

is

good

;

and

he

loveth

the

righteous

as

his

own

soul

.

If

any

one

is

glorified

,

he

envieth

him

not

;

if

any

one

is

enriched

,

he

is

not

jealous

;

if

any

one

is

valiant

,

he

praiseth

him

;

he

trusteth

and

laudeth

him

that

is

sober

-

minded

;

he

showeth

mercy

to

the

poor

;

he

is

kindly

disposed

toward

the

weak

;

he

singeth

the

praises

of

God

;

as

for

him

who

hath

the

fear

of

God

,

he

protecteth

him

as

with

a

shield

;

him

that

loveth

God

he

aideth

;

him

that

rejecteth

the

Most

High

he

admonisheth

and

turneth

back

;

and

him

that

hath

the

grace

of

a

good

spirit

,

he

loveth

even

as

his

own

soul

.
