What Does the Bible Say About Integrity and Honesty?




  • In biblical scripture, integrity is defined as the quality of being honest and possessing strong moral principles. It is equated with righteousness and involves living in accordance with God’s laws (Matthew 5:6).
  • Embedding an immaculate example of integrity, the Bible’s indefatigable heroes, such as Joseph in the Potipar’s wife episode, reject deceit and temptation. Their unwavering commitment to righteousness in spite of adversity exalts integrity as an indispensable characteristic (Genesis 39:6-23).
  • In its commitment to the virtue of integrity, the Bible illuminatively teaches that a lack thereof leads to strife, calamities, and spiritual impoverishment. It underlines that the righteous path, albeit arduous, reaps divine blessings and peace (Proverbs 11:3).
  • The Bible interweaves integrity with other virtues like honesty, kindness, and humility. It insists that integrity, far from being an isolated virtue, is cornerstone of a moral life and inextricably linked with other godly qualities (Proverbs 10:9).
