3
Virtue vs. the vile
I will not participate in what degrades or corrupts those made in the image of God.

Faithfulness vs. the sexually immoral
I will honor the covenants I make, and keep the trust placed in me, to the best of my ability.

Transparency vs. those who practice magic arts
I will not manipulate through hidden arts, nor obscure what those affected by my actions have a right to see.

I will not elevate any finite thing, system, or self to the place that belongs to the truly worthy.
8
Honesty vs. all liars
I will speak truth and refuse the convenient shelter of falsehood, to the best of my ability.
