in integrity
Wholeness, completeness, or integrity; the state of being undivided or unimpaired, conveying a sense of sincerity, innocence, or moral integrity depending on context. In some passages, it denotes soundness or prosperity—the idea of a life unbroken by calamity. In ethical contexts, it often refers to moral innocence or blamelessness. Used both of literal completeness (e.g., unblemished structure or state) and of internal or moral uprightness (sincerity, honesty, integrity).
