What Does the Bible Say About Integrity and Living In It?

I am still thinking about integrity.

What does the Bible have to say about integrity?

My favorite version (The New English Translation) uses integrity in the text.
Proverbs 10:9 NET The one who conducts himself in integrity will live securely, but the one who behaves perversely will be found out.

Proverbs 10:9 KJV He that walketh uprightly walketh surely: but he that perverteth his ways shall be known.

When we take the word uprightly back to the hebrew the definition is integrity, completeness, fulness, innocence, simplicity.

Another verse

Proverbs 11:3 NET The integrity of the upright guides them, but the crookedness of the treacherous destroys them.

Proverbs 11:3 KJV The integrity of the upright shall guide them: but the perverseness of transgressors shall destroy them.

When we start to thrive instead of just surviving, we will feel more complete, life will be more simple and we will feel sound. We will have soundness of mind, no more fog, no more feeling crazy, no more intrusive thoughts. We are in more control of our thoughts taking them captive and not allowing them to just take control of our mind.

When we are able to live in our integrity we are more likely to know our value to Yahweh and those around us. We are able to truly forgive and leave the past in the past.

When we are thriving and living in our integrity we are able to make good judgement calls. There is no second guessing ourselves or Yahweh. It is easier to trust Yahweh and His plan for us and our family.

To live in our integrity is freedom to live life abundantly.
