Word of God

2 Peter 2: 19 While they promise them liberty, they themselves are slaves of corruption; for by whom a person is overcome, by him also he is brought into bondage.

CORRUPTION

Corruption does not belong to any one country but is a world-wide phenomenon. Some countries, however, are more while others are less corrupt.

It is impossible to take part in any way in any corrupt practise without at the same time corrupting other individuals and adding to the corruption of your whole country.

While it would be beneficial to have an anti-corruption plan for freeing a whole country from corruption, this is not the first consideration. Even without such a plan, we can still take the first step, which is to learn how to stand firm, free from corruption, among those who are still slaves of corruption.

A country, any country, will become less and less corrupt as the number of individuals in it, who are determined not to add their little bit to the corruption of their neighbour and to the corruption of their country, continues to grow.
