  3. 0:10Tell the truth about the tool. “Lying lips are detestable to Yahweh, but those who act faithfully are his delight.” Proverbs 12:22
  4. 0:18Honor the hands. “I have filled him with the Spirit of God, with skill, understanding, and knowledge in every kind of craft…” Exodus 31:3
  5. 0:26Don’t fake a real person. “Do not testify falsely against your neighbor.” Exodus 20:16
  6. 0:31Pay the worker. Instead of prompting a living artist’s style, hire them. “…a worker is worthy of his pay.” Luke 10:7
  7. 0:38Make what is true and lovely. “…all that is true, all that deserves respect, all that is right, all that is pure, all that is lovely…” Philippians 4:8
