Morals are what you believe to be right and wrong. People can have different morals: you might say, “I like his morals” or “I wonder about his morals.” Your morals are your ideas about right and wrong, especially how you should act and treat other people.

For someone who is honest and follows good moral standards, use the adjective ethical. Ethical comes from the Greek ethos “moral character” and describes a person or behavior as right in the moral sense – truthful, fair, and honest.

ethical. (philosophy) Of or relating to the study of ethics. (not comparable) Of or relating to the accepted principles of right and wrong, especially those of some organization or profession. (comparable) Morally approvable; good.

adverb. /ˈeθɪkli/ /ˈeθɪkli/ ​in the correct way according to your beliefs and principles.

moralize. (transitive) To apply to a moral purpose; to explain in a moral sense; to draw a moral from. (transitive) To supply with moral lessons, teachings, or examples; to lend a moral to. (transitive) To render moral; to correct the morals of.

While morals tend to be driven by personal beliefs and values, there are certainly some common morals that most people agree on, such as: Always tell the truth. Do not destroy property. Have courage.

The word for a person who has no morals is amoral.

Some common synonyms of moral are ethical, noble, righteous, and virtuous. While all these words mean “conforming to a standard of what is right and good,” moral implies conformity to established sanctioned codes or accepted notions of right and wrong.

If you call someone virtuous, you are saying that person is living according to high moral standards.

Some common synonyms of integrity are honesty, honor, and probity. While all these words mean “uprightness of character or action,” integrity implies trustworthiness and incorruptibility to a degree that one is incapable of being false to a trust, responsibility, or pledge.

There is a simpler way of stating someone has integrity but like the examples you have given, the adjective ‘integral’ is not applied to people. You can use ‘virtuous’ or ‘trustworthy’ in place of ‘a person of integrity’ as they too mean the same.

A person lacks integrity if unable to appreciate the distinction between what is honest or dishonest by ordinary standards. (This presupposes, of course, circumstances where ordinary standards are clear. Where there are genuinely grey areas, a finding of lack of integrity would not be appropriate.)”
