Section 1: Lessons on Integrity for the Next Generation

First Lesson - Integrity must be tested and therefore proven, only then can judgment be made of others.

Second Lessons - Integrity must be possessed, it is not inherent, one invests themselves into it (by trust, not sitting/standing joining in with certain othrs, washing, compassing, hearing intelligently and obeying and testifying to, etc..)

Third Lessons - Integrity must be able to discern/assess the intentions and motives of other people who would otherwise likely be followed.

Most Important Lessons - The key to our integrity is our adoration of God's.

kjv@Psalms:26:1-3 @ Judge me, O LORD (Jehovah - Self Existent One); for I have walked in mine integrity: I have trusted also in the LORD; therefore I shall not slide. Examine me, O LORD, and prove me; try my reins and my heart. For thy lovingkindness is before mine eyes: and I have walked in thy truth.

kjv@Psalms:26:4-5 @ I have not sat with vain persons (desolating/destructive/ruinous), neither will I go in with dissemblers (veiled/concealed/pretenders). I have hated the congregation of evil doers (spoiler/breaking into pieces); and will not sit with the wicked (morally wrong).

kjv@Psalms:26:9-10 @ Gather not my soul with sinners (criminal/guilty), nor my life with bloody men (willing to shed another's blood): In whose hands is mischief (bad plans), and their right hand is full of bribes (rewards).

kjv@Psalms:26:6-8 @ I will wash mine hands in innocency (clearness/cleaness): so will I compass (surround/border) thine altar, O LORD: That I may publish (hear intelligently and obey/be witness for) with the voice of thanksgiving (adoration/confession), and tell of all thy wondrous works. LORD, I have loved the habitation of thy house, and the place where thine honour dwelleth.

kjv@Psalms:26:11-12 @ But as for me, I will walk in mine integrity (completeness): redeem (ransom/sever) me, and be merciful (bend or stoop in kindness/favor to an inferior) unto me. My foot standeth in an even place: in the congregations will I bless (kneel) the LORD.
