It is a virtue that is highly esteemed in the Bible and is often associated with righteousness, uprightness, and blamelessness. Old Testament References The concept of integrity is prominently featured in the Old Testament. In the book of Job, Job is described as a man of integrity. Despite his severe trials, he maintains his integrity, refusing to curse God. <a href="/job/2-3.htm">Job 2:3</a> states, "Then the LORD said to Satan, 'Have you considered My servant Job? For there is no one on earth like him, a man who is blameless and upright, who fears God and shuns evil. He still retains his integrity, even though you incited Me against him to ruin him without cause.'" Proverbs also highlights the importance of integrity. <a href="/proverbs/10-9.htm">Proverbs 10:9</a> declares, "He who walks in integrity walks securely, but he who perverts his ways will be found out." This verse underscores the security and stability that come from living a life of integrity, contrasting it with the eventual exposure of deceitful ways. King David, in his psalms, often speaks of integrity as a guiding principle. In <a href="/psalms/25-21.htm">Psalm 25:21</a> , David prays, "May integrity and uprightness preserve me, because I wait for You." Here, integrity is seen as a protective force, preserving the believer in their walk with God. New Testament References In the New Testament, integrity is closely linked with sincerity and truthfulness. Jesus Christ exemplifies perfect integrity, as He lived a life without sin and always spoke the truth. In <a href="/john/14-6.htm">John 14:6</a> , Jesus declares, "I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me." His life and teachings set the standard for integrity for His followers. The Apostle Paul, in his letters, often emphasizes the importance of integrity in the life of a believer. In <a href="/2_corinthians/8-21.htm">2 Corinthians 8:21</a> , Paul writes, "For we are taking great care to do what is right, not only in the eyes of the Lord but also in the eyes of men." This verse highlights the dual aspect of integrity—being right before God and man. Paul also instructs Timothy to maintain integrity in his ministry. In <a href="/1_timothy/4-12.htm">1 Timothy 4:12</a> , he advises, "Let no one despise your youth, but set an example for the believers in speech, in conduct, in love, in faith, and in purity." Here, integrity is portrayed as an example to others, encompassing all areas of life. Theological Significance Integrity is foundational to the Christian life, as it reflects the character of God. God is described as a God of truth and faithfulness, and His followers are called to mirror these attributes. Integrity involves consistency between one's beliefs and actions, ensuring that one's life aligns with the teachings of Scripture. The Bible warns against hypocrisy, which is the opposite of integrity. Jesus frequently rebuked the Pharisees for their lack of integrity, as they outwardly appeared righteous but were inwardly corrupt (<a href="/matthew/23-27.htm">Matthew 23:27-28</a>). Practical Application Living with integrity involves honesty, transparency, and consistency in all areas of life. It requires a commitment to truth, even when it is inconvenient or costly. Christians are called to uphold integrity in their personal lives, relationships, workplaces, and communities, serving as a testimony to the transformative power of the Gospel. Integrity is not only about avoiding wrongdoing but also about actively pursuing righteousness and justice. It involves making choices that honor God and reflect His character, trusting that He will uphold those who walk in integrity.<a name="top" id="top"></a><div class="vheading2">Topical Bible Verses</div><a href="/proverbs/11-3.htm">Proverbs 11:3</a> The integrity of the upright shall guide them: but the perverseness of transgressors shall destroy them.

Its original sense appears in the phrase letom (<a href="/1_kings/22-34.htm">1 Kings 22:34</a> <a href="/2_chronicles/18-33.htm">2 Chronicles 18:33</a>), "A certain man drew his bow at a venture" margin "Hebrew, in his simplicity" (compare <a href="/2_samuel/15-11.htm">2 Samuel 15:11</a>, "in their simplicity"). It is translated "integrity" (<a href="/genesis/20-5.htm">Genesis 20:5, 6</a> <a href="/1_kings/9-4.htm">1 Kings 9:4</a> <a href="/psalms/7-8.htm">Psalm 7:8</a>; <a href="/psalms/25-21.htm">Psalm 25:21</a>; <a href="/psalms/26-1.htm">Psalm 26:1, 11</a>; 41:12:00; 78:72 <a href="/proverbs/19-1.htm">Proverbs 19:1</a>; <a href="/proverbs/20-7.htm">Proverbs 20:7</a>), in all which places it seems to carry the meaning of simplicity, or sincerity of heart and intention, truthfulness, uprightness.

See <a href="../u/urim.htm">URIM AND THUMMIM</a>. Another word translated "integrity" is tummah, from tamam, "to complete," "be upright," "perfect," only in <a href="/job/2-3.htm">Job 2:3, 1</a>; <a href="/job/27-5.htm">Job 27:5</a>; <a href="/job/31-6.htm">Job 31:6</a> <a href="/proverbs/11-3.htm">Proverbs 11:3</a>. The word "integrity" does not occur in the New Testament, but its equivalents may be seen in "sincerity," "truth," the "pure heart," the "single eye," etc. In the above sense of simplicity of intention it is equivalent to being honest, sincere, genuine, and is fundamental to true character.
