Evil » Appearance of, to be avoided
but if any man say to you, this is offered in sacrifice to an idol, don't eat, for his sake that mentioned it, and for conscience sake. when I say conscience, I don't mean your own, but that of the other: for why should I expose my liberty to the censure of another man's conscience? if I am thankful for what I have, why should I chuse to be evil spoken of for that for which I give thanks? read more.
whether therefore you eat or drink, or whatsoever you do, do all to the glory of God. give no offence, neither to the Jews, nor to the Gentiles, nor to the church of God. thus I endeavour to be acceptable to all men in all things, not seeking my own advantage, but that of others, so as they may be saved.
But every one has not this knowledge: for some still imagine the idol represents a deity: and eat the meat under the notion of an offering to such a being: by which erroneous opinion they are infected with idolatry. meat does not recommend us to God: if we eat, we are not the better men; if we don't eat, we are not the worse. but take care that this liberty of yours does not prove a scandal to the weak. read more.
for if any man see you who have a just notion of idols, sitting at table in their temple, will not the person who is wrong in his notions be incouraged to eat what is offered to idols, tho' contrary to his own opinion? so that your notions may endanger the life of thy weak brother, for whom Christ died. but when you thus offend against the brethren, by wounding their weak conscience, you sin against Christ. wherefore if my eating makes my brother offend, I will never eat flesh rather than make my brother offend.

Evil » Where evil comes from
then Peter said to him, tell us the meaning of that expression. and Jesus said, are ye also yet without understanding? do not ye yet conceive, that whatever enters at the mouth, passes to the belly, and is discharged downwards? read more.
but what proceeds out of the mouth, is deriv'd from the heart, and that defiles the man. out of the heart proceed evil designs, murders, adulteries, fornications, thefts, false testimony, slanders. these are the things which defile a man: but to eat without washing one's hands, that does not defile a man.
When he withdrew from the people into the house, his disciples ask'd him the meaning of that maxim. and he said, are you likewise so void of understanding? don't you perceive that what passes from without into a man cannot defile him? because that does not enter into his heart, but into the belly, whence it is discharg'd, the purest part of the food being left for nutrition. read more.
but, said he, that which proceeds from a man, is what defiles him: for from within, from the heart of man proceed wicked designs, adulteries, fornications, murders; thefts, avarice, malice, fraud, impudence, envy, scandal, pride, vanity. all these vices come from within, and are what defile the man.
for we know that the law is spiritual: but I am carnal, sold a slave to sin. what I do I allow not: for what my mind leads me to, that do I not; but what I have an aversion to, that I do. if then I do what I in my mind am against, the consent of my mind is, that the law is right. read more.
now then, it is not wholly I that do it, but the sinful passions that dwell in me. for I experience, that in the carnal part of me dwells no good: for it is familiar to me, to will, but not to execute that which is good. for the good that I purpose to do, I do not: but the evil which I resolve against, that I do. now if I do that which my mind is against, it is not meerly I that do it, but sin that dwells in me. I find then a settled custom, that evil is objected in my way whenever I have a mind to act well: for my mind takes delight in the law of God, but I perceive in the animal part of me another law warring against the law of my mind, and bringing me into captivity to the law of sin, which is in my animal part.

Evil » What brings forth evil fruit
or figs of thistles? so every good tree yields good fruit: but a corrupt tree yields bad fruit. a good tree cannot produce bad fruit: neither can a corrupt tree produce good fruit. every tree that doth not yield good fruit, is hewn down and cast into the fire. read more.
by their fruits then shall ye know them.
a good man out of the good treasure produces good things: and an evil man, out of the evil treasure, produces evil things.
Certainly a good tree does not produce bad fruit: nor does a bad tree produce good fruit. for every tree is known by its fruit: it is not on thorns that men gather figs, nor do they gather grapes on a bramble bush. a good man out of the good treasure of his heart produces what is good: and an evil man out of the evil treasure of his heart produces what is evil: for 'tis from the abundance of the heart, that the mouth speaketh.

who ever serves in war at his own charges? who plants a vineyard, and does not eat of the fruit? or who feeds a flock, and eats not of the milk of the flock? is this only the voice of reason? does not the law express the same too? for it is written in the law of Moses, "thou shalt not muzzle the mouth of the ox that treadeth out the corn." are oxen the objects of divine care? read more.
or is it said, no doubt, for our sakes? for our sakes, no doubt, this is written: that he who plows should plow in hope; and that he who thresheth should expect the advantage. if for your benefit we have sown spirituals, is it so extraordinary if we should reap some benefit from your temporals? if others partake of your substance, have not I a better title? nevertheless, I have not made use of this privilege; but bear with any thing rather than obstruct the gospel of Christ. don't you know, that they who prepare the sacrifices, do eat of the sacrifice in the temple? and they who wait at the altar, have their portion from the altar? even so has the Lord ordained, that they who preach the gospel, should live by the gospel. but I have not made use of these advantages. neither have I writ this to obtain such maintenance: for I had rather die for want, than be deprived of such matter of glorying. for in barely preaching the gospel, I have nothing to glory in: because I am under an obligation to do it; yea, wo is unto me if I preach not the gospel. now if I do this willingly, I have a reward: but if against my will, it is a dispensation of trust which must be discharged. whence then is my reward? why, from my preaching the gospel of Christ gratis, without making use of the privilege which the gospel gives me. for tho' I am independent of all men, yet have I subjected myself to all, that I might gain the more. to the Jews, I became as a Jew, that I might gain the Jews; to those who are under the law, as under the law, that I might gain those who are under the law; to those who are without the law, as without that law, (not as being under no law to God, but as under the law to Christ) that I might gain those who are without the law. to the weak I became as weak, that I might gain the weak: I became all things to all men, that I might save all sorts of men. and I do all for the gospel's sake, that I may share in the benefits thereof.
