People with integrity will lose more than those without it. An example is the acquisition, use, and retention of power (hereafter, AURP). If you stand by your word/principles you& #39;ll inevitably lose AURP. You might even suffer and fail to do the “greater good” by losing AURP. 3/7

They wrongly believe they can retain their own integrity by supporting/endorsing someone (usually another professed Christian) who will violate integrity on their behalf, so they don’t lose AURP (Rom 3:8). If you support violations of integrity you show *you* lack integrity. 5/7
