A false balance is abomination to the Lord: but a just weight is His delight. Proverbs 11:1.
The accounts of every business, the details of every transaction, pass the scrutiny of unseen auditors, agents of Him who never comprises with injustice, never overlooks evil, never palliates wrong.—Education, 144.
An honest man, according to Christ’s measurement, is one who will manifest unbending integrity. Deceitful weights and false balances, with which many seek to advance their interests in the world, are abomination in the sight of God.... When a man is indeed connected with God, and is keeping His law in truth, his life will reveal the fact; for all his actions will be in harmony with the teachings of Christ. He will not sell his honor for gain. His principles are built upon the sure foundation, and his conduct in worldly matters is a transcript of his principles. Firm integrity shines forth as gold amid the dross and rubbish of the world.—Testimonies for the Church 4:310.
Those who choose honesty as their companion will embody it in all their acts. To a large class, these men are not pleasing, but to God they are beautiful.—Testimonies for the Church 4:607.
