31 God saw all that he had made, and it was very good indeed.  * Evening came and then morning: the sixth day.

8 The Lord is good and upright;  *

therefore he shows sinners the way.  *

28 But as for me, God’s presence is my good.

I have made the Lord God my refuge,

so I can tell about all you do.  *

1 It is good to give thanks to the  Lord,

to sing praise to your name, Most High,  *

2 to declare your faithful love in the morning

and your faithfulness at night,  *

3 with a ten-stringed harp  *

and the music of a lyre.  *

5 For the Lord is good, and his faithful love endures forever;

his faithfulness, through all generations.

1 How delightfully good

when brothers live together in harmony!  *

2 for I am giving you good instruction.  *

Don’t abandon my teaching.

23 A person takes joy in giving an answer;  *

and a timely word — how good that is!  *

13 Eat honey,  * my son, for it is good,

and the honeycomb is sweet to your palate;  *

14 realize that wisdom is the same for you.  *

If you find it, you will have a future,

and your hope will never fade.  *

11 Wisdom is as good as an inheritance

and an advantage to those who see the sun,

25 The Lord is good to those who wait  * for him,

to the person who seeks him.

26 It is good to wait quietly  *

for salvation from the  Lord.  *

8 Mankind, he has told each of you what is good  *

and what it is the  Lord requires of you:  *

to act justly,  *

to love faithfulness,  *

and to walk humbly with your God.  *

12 So then, the law is holy,  * and the commandment is holy and just and good.

2 Do not be conformed  * to this age,  * but be transformed by the renewing of your mind,  * so that you may discern what is the good, pleasing, and perfect will  * of God.

16 Therefore, do not let your good be slandered,  *

1 First of all, then, I urge that petitions, prayers, intercessions, and thanksgivings be made for everyone, 2 for kings and all those who are in authority,  * so that we may lead a tranquil and quiet life in all godliness  * and dignity.  *3 This is good, and it pleases God our Savior,  *

4 For everything created by God is good,  * and nothing is to be rejected if it is received with thanksgiving,  *5 since it is sanctified by the word of God  * and by prayer.

17 Every good and perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of lights, who does not change like shifting shadows.  *

50 Salt is good, but if the salt should lose its flavor, how can you season it?*Have salt*among yourselves, and be at peace*with one another."
