Answer 3

I can't think of a verse offhand, but know this; integrity is the quality of being integrated,all the parts brought together, to be complete and whole. This doesn't imply being finished or perfect, but that you are born complete, with everything you need to make a life and solve your problems.

Answer 4

I got this verse from some one on answers. I'm adding some quotes of wisdom that I hope will be helpful.

Phillipians 4: 8
Whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report, if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise think on these things.

“ If you don’t know where your going.
Any road will take you there.”
George Harrison


Life is not measured by the number of breaths we take,
but by the moments that take our breath away.


Your Name

You got it from your father, it was all he had to give
So it’s yours to use and cherish, for as long as you live.
If you lose the watch he gave you, it can always be replaced.
But a black mark on your name, Son can never be erased.

It was clean the day you took it, and a worthy name to hear.
When he got it from his father, there was no dishonor there.
So make sure you guard it wisely, after all is said and done.
You’ll be glad the name is spotless, when you give it to your son.
Edgar Albert Guest

I just did a search on e-sword on the word integrity from the GNB. I did not check them for relevance though. Hope you find what you are looking for.

(1Ki 9:4 GNB) If you will serve me in honesty and integrity, as your father David did, and if you obey my laws and do everything I have commanded you,

(1Ch 29:17 GNB) I know that you test everyone's heart and are pleased with people of integrity. In honesty and sincerity I have willingly given all this to you, and I have seen how your people who are gathered here have been happy to bring offerings to you.

(Pro 2:21 GNB) Righteous people---people of integrity---will live in this land of ours.

(Pro 14:32 GNB) Wicked people bring about their own downfall by their evil deeds, but good people are protected by their integrity.

(Isa 11:5 GNB) He will rule his people with justice and integrity.

(Isa 32:1 GNB) Some day there will be a king who rules with integrity, and national leaders who govern with justice.

(Isa 33:5 GNB) How great the LORD is! He rules over everything. He will fill Jerusalem with justice and integrity

Check out biblegateway.com where you can search key words. Here's one I found for integrity: Proverbs 2:7 "He stores up sound wisdom for the upright; He is a shield to those who walk in integrity".

Actually keeping integrity is more important than reading the verses with a gleam in the eye and having a warm feeling that God is love. (See 1 John 5:3) Young people with any kind of spiritual thirst should be commended, encouraged, and taught the TRUTH. Many people water down God's truth by allowing things to take place in their churches which they know God hates- immorality, for example. Kids are going to see inconsistencies and this can turn them away from God. Jesus spoke strongly against those without integrity who adhere to man's ideas instead of God's commands:

Mark 7:6 "And He said to them, "Rightly did Isaiah prophesy of you hypocrites, as it is written:
THIS PEOPLE HONORS ME WITH THEIR LIPS,
BUT THEIR HEART IS FAR AWAY FROM ME.
7BUT IN VAIN DO THEY WORSHIP ME,
TEACHING AS DOCTRINES THE PRECEPTS OF MEN.'
8"Neglecting the commandment of God, you hold to the tradition of men." 9He was also saying to them, "You are experts at setting aside the commandment of God in order to keep your tradition."
