andar en compania de personas castas
I think chaste is more "casto/a" than "decente"... FWIW.

Me parece que "Keeping Company" también podría traducirse como "no andar en malas compañías" pero eso no sería tan específico en cuanto a la castidad.
Lo de Personas decentes es muy general. Si se trata de castidad,y de cuidar uno su propia castidad, siento yo,que me eduqué en colegio de monjas Salesianas, en El Salvador, requiere ser más específico.
Ojalá que sirva. Ana María.
