In 2nd Corinthians ch1 v12 , the apostle Paul quotes from
The Septuagint Psalm 111 ( 112 in Hebrew ) verse 3
"Glory and riches shall be in your house"
Paul says "Our glory ( Our boast - in modern translations )
is in this; the witness of our conscience.
By delighting in the precepts of the Lord,
the righteous become more Godly.
So for us, obedience to the Lord is not an imposed burden
but a power which transforms our hearts.
Obedience to the will of God is to let oneself be filled
with the tenderness, forgiveness, generosity, justice,
kindness, love and mercy of the living God.
Psalm 112:1 NCV
Blessed is the man who fears the LORD,
who greatly delights in his precepts
