Knowing How To Discern the True Values
Do Nothing That Will Make You Ashamed[a]
20 Take account of circumstances and beware of evil
so that you will have no cause to be ashamed.
21 There is a shame that leads to sin,
and a shame that is honorable and gracious.
22 Do not be the cause of your own downfall by showing favoritism,
or incur ruin by your deference to others.
