A good name is better than precious ointment; and the day of death than the day of one's birth.

Recompense to no man evil for evil. Provide things honest in the sight of all men.

Let not then your good be evil spoken of:

Give none offence, neither to the Jews, nor to the Gentiles, nor to the church of God:

Providing for honest things, not only in the sight of the Lord, but also in the sight of men.

Abstain from all appearance of evil.

Having your conversation honest among the Gentiles: that, whereas they speak against you as evildoers, they may by your good works, which they shall behold, glorify God in the day of visitation.
