The concept of bribery is addressed multiple times in the Bible, often in the context of justice and righteousness. Bribery is seen as a corrupt practice that perverts justice and undermines the moral fabric of society.<br><br><b>Old Testament References</b> <br>The Old Testament contains several admonitions against the practice of bribery. In the Law of Moses, God explicitly commands against accepting bribes, as they can blind the eyes of the wise and subvert the cause of the righteous. <a href="/exodus/23-8.htm">Exodus 23:8</a> states, "Do not accept a bribe, for a bribe blinds those who see and twists the words of the righteous." This command underscores the importance of impartiality and integrity in judicial proceedings.<br><br><a href="/deuteronomy/16-19.htm">Deuteronomy 16:19</a> further reinforces this principle: "Do not deny justice or show partiality. Do not accept a bribe, for a bribe blinds the eyes of the wise and twists the words of the righteous." Here, the emphasis is on maintaining justice and fairness, which are central to the covenant community's life.<br><br>The book of Proverbs also speaks to the destructive nature of bribes. <a href="/proverbs/17-23.htm">Proverbs 17:23</a> warns, "A wicked man takes a covert bribe to subvert the course of justice." This verse highlights the moral corruption associated with bribery and its potential to undermine justice.<br><br><b>New Testament References</b> <br>While the New Testament does not address bribery as explicitly as the Old Testament, the principles of honesty, integrity, and justice remain central. The teachings of Jesus and the apostles emphasize the importance of righteousness and the dangers of greed and corruption.<br><br>In the account of Judas Iscariot's betrayal of Jesus, we see an implicit reference to bribery. Judas agrees to betray Jesus for thirty pieces of silver, as recorded in <a href="/matthew/26-14.htm">Matthew 26:14-16</a> : "Then one of the Twelve, the one called Judas Iscariot, went to the chief priests and asked, 'What are you willing to give me if I hand Him over to you?' And they set out for him thirty pieces of silver." This act of betrayal for monetary gain illustrates the moral decay that can result from the love of money and the willingness to accept a bribe.<br><br><b>Moral and Ethical Implications</b> <br>The Bible's condemnation of bribery is rooted in its broader ethical teachings. Bribery is seen as a violation of justice, a core attribute of God's character. It is an act that distorts truth and fairness, leading to societal decay. The biblical call to justice, mercy, and humility, as seen in <a href="/micah/6-8.htm">Micah 6:8</a> , "He has shown you, O man, what is good. And what does the LORD require of you but to act justly, to love mercy, and to walk humbly with your God?" stands in stark contrast to the corrupting influence of bribes.<br><br><b>Conclusion</b> <br>The biblical perspective on bribery is clear: it is a practice that God detests and that His people are to avoid. By adhering to principles of justice and integrity, believers are called to reflect God's righteousness in their personal and communal lives.<a name="grk" id="grk"></a><div class="vheading2">Greek</div><a href="/greek/5344.htm"><span class="l">5344.
