Notes: In a number of languages the concept of ‘living a godly life’ may be best expressed as ‘to live as God would have one live’ or ‘to live like one should who believes in God’ or ‘to always do what God requires.’ In some languages, however, the only equivalent is ‘to live a good life’ or ‘to live always doing good to others.’ The shift from the focus upon religious belief to good living or being good to others results from the fact that in some religious systems there is little or no connection between religious beliefs and moral behavior.
