6 The righteousness of the upright delivers them, but the unfaithful are trapped by evil desires.
6 The righteousness of the upright shall deliver them: but transgressors shall be taken in their own naughtiness.
6 The righteousness of the upright delivers them, but the treacherous are taken captive by their lust.
6 Good character is the best insurance; crooks get trapped in their sinful lust.
6 The righteousness of the upright will deliver them, But the unfaithful will be caught by their lust.
6 The godliness of good people rescues them; the ambition of treacherous people traps them.
