A godly man is careful about moral righteousness. He makes conscience of equity as well as piety. The Scripture has linked both together: ‘that we might serve him in holiness and righteousness’ (Luke 1:74,75). Holiness: there is the first table; righteousness: there is the second table. Though a man may be morally righteous and not godly, yet no-one can be godly unless he is morally righteous. This moral righteousness is seen in our dealings with men. A good man observes that golden maxim, ‘Whatsoever ye would that men should do to you, do ye even so to them’ (Matt. 7:12).
