Pro 14:2 | MHM | STEP | The Difference Between Respecting God and Despising Him This section shows the clear contrast between living with respect for God and living in rebellion against Him. It explains that true wisdom starts with fearing and honoring God, while sin shows itself by having no respect for God or His ways. v. 2 : The person who fears God lives in a way that pleases Him. He that walketh in his uprightness feareth the Lord . This means doing what is right out of respect for God, being careful with every action, and staying honest with both God and people. Such a life gives honor to God, who truly deserves it. On the other hand, sin is shown when someone ignores God. He that is perverse in his ways despiseth him (Proverbs 14:2 ). Someone who chooses to do wrong, follows their own desires, or acts dishonestly is really showing contempt for God, no matter what they claim to believe. This person will one day be judged as someone who has despised God Himself.
