There was a man in the land of Uz, whose name was Job; and that man was perfect and upright, and one that feared God, and eschewed evil.

And the LORD said unto Satan, Hast thou considered my servant Job, that there is none like him in the earth, a perfect and an upright man, one that feareth God, and escheweth evil?

If I justify myself, mine own mouth shall condemn me: if I say, I am perfect, it shall also prove me perverse.

These are the generations of Noah: Noah was a just man and perfect in his generations, and Noah walked with God.

Mark the perfect man, and behold the upright: for the end of that man is peace.

Not as though I had already attained, either were already perfect: but I follow after, if that I may apprehend that for which also I am apprehended of Christ Jesus.

But the God of all grace, who hath called us unto his eternal glory by Christ Jesus, after that ye have suffered a while, make you perfect, stablish, strengthen, settle you.

The righteous is delivered out of trouble, and the wicked cometh in his stead.

Righteousness keepeth him that is upright in the way: but wickedness overthroweth the sinner.

He that walketh in his uprightness feareth the LORD: but he that is perverse in his ways despiseth him.

The sacrifice of the wicked is an abomination to the LORD: but the prayer of the upright is his delight.

The highway of the upright is to depart from evil: he that keepeth his way preserveth his soul.

And said, Naked came I out of my mother's womb, and naked shall I return thither: the LORD gave, and the LORD hath taken away; blessed be the name of the LORD.

In all this Job sinned not, nor charged God foolishly.

Though he slay me, yet will I trust in him: but I will maintain mine own ways before him.

God forbid that I should justify you: till I die I will not remove mine integrity from me.

My righteousness I hold fast, and will not let it go: my heart shall not reproach me so long as I live.

Judge me, O LORD; for I have walked in mine integrity: I have trusted also in the LORD; therefore I shall not slide.

And as for me, thou upholdest me in mine integrity, and settest me before thy face for ever.

Blessed is the man that endureth temptation: for when he is tried, he shall receive the crown of life, which the Lord hath promised to them that love him.

That the trial of your faith, being much more precious than of gold that perisheth, though it be tried with fire, might be found unto praise and honour and glory at the appearing of Jesus Christ:

But put forth thine hand now, and touch all that he hath, and he will curse thee to thy face.

And Joab answered and said, Far be it, far be it from me, that I should swallow up or destroy.

For he breaketh me with a tempest, and multiplieth my wounds without cause.

Jesus answered, Neither hath this man sinned, nor his parents: but that the works of God should be made manifest in him.
