RATING your COUNTRY

 

1 Peter 3:12

Isaiah 33:15

15 He that walketh righteously, 

and speaketh uprightly; 

he that despiseth the gain of oppressions, 

that shaketh his hands from holding of bribes, 

that stoppeth his ears from hearing of blood, 

and shutteth his eyes from seeing evil;

but righteousness, 

and peace, 

and joy in the Holy Ghost.

is acceptable to God, 

and approved of men.

19 Let us therefore follow after the things 

which make for peace, 

and things wherewith one may edify another.


2 Corinthians 6:14

14 Be ye not unequally yoked together with unbelievers

for what fellowship hath righteousness 

with unrighteousness? 

and what communion hath light 

with darkness?

9 And this I pray

that your love may abound yet more and more 

in knowledge and in all judgment;

10 That ye may approve things that are excellent; 

that ye may be sincere and without offence 

till the day of Christ.

11 Being filled with the fruits of righteousness, 

which are by Jesus Christ, 

unto the glory and praise of God.

flee these things

and follow after righteousness, 

godliness, faith, love, 

patience, meekness.

is sown in peace of them that make peace.

8 Finally, 

brethren, 

whatsoever things are true, 

whatsoever things are honest, 

whatsoever things are just, 

whatsoever things are pure, 

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.


How has your nation fared?
