Bible References

Be

Slaves, be obedient to those that are your masters according to the flesh, with fear and trembling, in simplicity of your heart as unto the Christ,

Slaves, in all things hearken unto your masters according to the flesh, not serving to be seen as those who only please men, but in simplicity of heart, fearing God;

Let all that are under the yoke of slavery count their own masters worthy of all honour, that the name of God and his doctrine not be blasphemed.

Exhort slaves to be subject to their own masters and to please them well in all things; not contradicting;

The good

Now I, Paul, myself beseech you by the meekness and clemency of the Christ (who in presence am low among you, but being absent am bold toward you)

But the fruit of the Spirit is this: Charity, joy, peace, tolerance, gentleness, goodness, faith,

That they speak evil of no one, that they not be contentious, but gentle, showing all meekness unto all men.

But the wisdom that is from above is first pure, then peaceable, modest, benevolent, full of mercy and of good fruits, not judgmental, unfeigned.

But

A perverse heart shall depart from me; I will not know a wicked person.

For the perverse is an abomination to the LORD; but his secret is with the righteous.

The fear of the LORD is to hate evil; pride, arrogancy, the evil way, and the perverse mouth, do I hate.

The lips of the righteous shall know the will of God, but the mouth of the wicked speaks perversion.

They that are of a perverse heart are an abomination to the LORD, but such as are perfect in their way are his delight.
