The righteous strive to rise above greed, envy, and arrogance, to avoid gossip, slander, and boasting, and to show mercy and honor their parents.“The righteous strive to rise above their greed, envy, and arrogance. They strive to avoid gossip, slander, and boasting, and they strive to show mercy and honor their parents”“Do not obey every lowly swearer. A slanderer, a backbiter. Forbidder of charity, a transgressor, a sinner. Unappreciative, and greedy.”“Thus, you should not grieve over anything you miss, nor be proud of anything He has bestowed upon you. GOD does not love those who are boastful, proud.”
