11 Bible Verses about Knowledge Of Good And Evil

And since they thought not fit to hold the Deity in acknowledgment, God abandoned them to a reprobate mind, to practise deeds unbecoming; replete with all injustice, whoredom, wickedness, covetousness, villany; full of envy, murder, contention, deceit, evil habits; whisperers, backbiters, God-haters, contumelious, insolent, boasters, inventors of wicked practices, disobedient to parents,read more.
unintelligent, unfaithful to engagements, unnatural, implacable, unmerciful: who, though they know the righteous judgment of God, that they who live in such practices are worthy of death, not only do the same, but also find pleasure in the company of those who live in these practices.

What then shall we say? Is the law sin? God forbid. Yea, I had not known sin, but by the law: for I had not even known concupiscence, unless the law had said, Thou shalt not covet.

(for when the Gentiles, who have not the law naturally, do the things of the law, these, though not having the law, are a law unto themselves: which exhibit the practice of the law written on their hearts, their conscience also bearing its testimony, and their mutual reasonings at intervals bringing accusations or forming excuses;)

For every one whose practices are foul hateth the light, and cometh not to the light, that his actions may not be brought to conviction.

For this cause indeed I exert my utmost care to keep my conscience ever unoffending towards God and towards man.

I SPEAK the truth in Christ, I lie not, (my conscience also bearing witness to me in the Holy Ghost,)

For our glorying is this, the testimony of our conscience, that in simplicity and godly sincerity, not with carnal wisdom, but by the grace of God, we have conducted ourselves in the world, and peculiarly towards you.

For the end of the commandment is love out of a clean heart, and good conscience, and faith unfeigned:

but sanctify the Lord God in your hearts: and be always ready with your reply to every man who demands a reason respecting the hope which is in you with meekness and fear: keeping a good conscience; that whereas they malign you, as evil doers, they may be confounded who take pleasure in ridiculing your good conduct in Christ.

Wherefore putting away lying, speak truth, every one with his neighbour: for we are members one of another. Are ye provoked; and do you not sin? let not the sun go down upon your wrath: nor give place to the devil.read more.
Let him that stole steal no more; but rather labour hard, working with his hands that which is good, that he may have something to give to him that is in want. Let no loose discourse proceed out of your mouth, but whatever is good for useful edification, that it may communicate grace to the hearers. And grieve not the holy Spirit of God, whereby ye have been sealed unto the day of redemption. Let all bitterness, and wrath, and anger, and clamour, and scandal, be removed from you, with all malice: but be ye kind one to another, full of sensibility, forgiving mutually, even as God in Christ hath forgiven you.

For that which I am doing I approve not: for not the thing which I wish, that do I practise; but the very thing I hate, that I do. But if what I would not, that I do, I concur with the law that it is excellent. Now then no more I do this, but sin dwelling in me.read more.
For I know that there dwelleth not in me (that is, in my flesh) any good thing: for to will is present with me; but how to perform that which is good I find not. For I do not the good which I wish: but the evil which I would not, that I do. If then I do that which I would not, it is no more I that do it, but sin that dwelleth in me. I find then a law, that, when I wish to do good, evil is presented to me. For I am delighted with the law of God, as respecting the inward man: but I see another law in my members, militating against the law in my mind, and making me captive to the law of sin which is in my members. O wretched man, I! who shall pluck me from the body of this death? I give thanks to God through Jesus Christ our Lord. Well then, I myself with my mind am servant to the law of God; but in my flesh to the law of sin.
