The context is integrity

It is important that when dealing with close calls people remain consistent with their moral values despite pressure or temptation.

Close call 在这里好像翻译成“ 千钧一发/险遭意外”不通?

agree  Wenjer Leuschel (X): Close calls can be good for the soul. God can use them to cause us to face ourselves and Him. Close calls can wake us up and help us sort out our priorities. 路遥知马力，日久知人心；紧要关头时的反应，才会显露出人的真正本性。
