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 godliness of good people rescues them;

the ambition of treacherous people traps them.

6 The righteousness of the upright will deliver them,

But the unfaithful will be caught by their lust.

6 Doing right brings freedom to honest people,

but those who are not trustworthy will be caught by their own desires.

6 The righteousness of the upright shall deliver them;

But the treacherous shall be taken in their own iniquity.

6 The righteousness of the upright delivereth them; but the treacherous are taken in their own craving.

6 Decent people are saved by their righteousness, 

but treacherous people are trapped by their own greed. 

6 The righteousness of the upright rescues them,

but the treacherous are trapped by their own desires.

6 The righteousness of the upright saves them,

but the treacherous are taken captive by their schemes.

6 The righteousness of the upright will save them,

but by a scheme the treacherous will be taken captive.

6 Godly people are saved by doing what is right.

But those who aren’t faithful are trapped by evil longings.

6 The righteousness of the upright will deliver them,

But the treacherous will be caught by their own greed.
