Purity of mind, free from any undue bias or principle, Pro 11:3. Many hold, that a certain artful sagacity, founded upon knowledge of the world, is the best conductor of every one who would be a successful adventurer in life, and that a strict attention to integrity would lead them into danger and distress. But, in answer to this it is justly observed, <\/p>\n
1. That the guidance of integrity is the safest under which it leads us is, upon the whole, the freest from dangers, Pro 3:21, &c.<\/p>\n
2. It is unquestionably the most honourable; for integrity is the foundation of all that is high in character among mankind, Pro 4:8.<\/p>\n
3. It is the most conductive to felicity, Php 4:6-7. Pro 3:17.<\/p>\n
4. Such a character can look forward to eternity without dismay. Rom 2:7.<\/p>\n
(Latin: in, not; tangere, to touch) <\/p>\n
Immunity from concupiscence. It was a special prerogative of our first parents in Paradise by which the evil impulses of sensuality were kept under perfect control. By it, man’s animal passions were completely subordinated to his reason, and fitting relationships established between the flesh and the spirit. Integrity as a preternatural gift was a part of man’s initial equipment in the state of original justice. It was lost to the human race as a result of original sin, but by special privilege of God, has been granted in greater or lesser degrees to various saints. Our Lord and His Blessed Mother, completely innocent of original sin. naturally did not suffer from its effects. <\/p>\n
in-tegri-ti (, tom, , tummah): The translation of tom, simplicity, soundness, completeness, rendered also upright, perfection. Its original sense appears in the phrase letom (1Ki 22:34; 2Ch 18:33), A certain man drew his bow at a venture margin Hebrew, in his simplicity (compare 2Sa 15:11, in their simplicity). It is translated integrity (Gen 20:5, Gen 20:6; 1Ki 9:4; Psa 7:8; Psa 25:21; Psa 26:1, Psa 26:11; Psa 41:12; Psa 78:72; Pro 19:1; Pro 20:7), in all which places it seems to carry the meaning of simplicity, or sincerity of heart and intention, truthfulness, uprightness. In the plural (tummm) it is one of the words on the breastplate of the high priest (Exo 28:30; Deu 33:8; Ezr 2:63; Neh 7:65), one of the sacred lots, indicating, perhaps, innocence or integrity (Septuagint aletheia). See URIM AND THUMMIM. Another word translated integrity is tummah, from tamam, to complete, be upright, perfect, only in Job 2:3, Job 2:1; Job 27:5; Job 31:6; Pro 11:3.<\/p>\n
The word integrity does not occur in the New Testament, but its equivalents may be seen in sincerity, truth, the pure heart, the single eye, etc. In the above sense of simplicity of intention it is equivalent to being honest, sincere, genuine, and is fundamental to true character.<\/p>\n
