Seeing ye know ye were not redeemed with corruptible things, as silver and gold, from your vain conversation delivered by tradition from your fathers,

Laying

(for he that hath suffered in the flesh hath ceased from sin) That ye may no longer live the rest of your time in the flesh, to the desire of men, but to the will of God.

The night is far spent; the day is at hand, let us therefore put off the works of darkness, and put on the armour of light.

concerning your former conversation, the old man, which is corrupt, according to the deceitful desires:

Mortify therefore your members which are upon the earth, fornication, uncleanness, inordinate affection, evil desire, and covetousness, which is idolatry:

Wherefore, seeing we also are compassed about with so great a cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which easily besetteth us, and run with patience the race that is set before us, Looking to Jesus, the author and finisher of our faith;

Therefore laying aside all the filthiness and superfluity of wickedness, receive with meekness the ingrafted word, which is able to save your souls.

Murmur not one against another, brethren, lest ye be condemned; behold the judge standeth before the door.

Malice

yet not having your liberty for a cloak of wickedness, but as the servants of God.

Therefore let us keep the feast; not with the old leaven, nor with the leaven of wickedness and malignity, but with the unleavened bread of sincerity and truth.

Brethren, be not children in understanding: in wickedness be ye as infants, but in understanding be ye grown men.

Let all bitterness, and wrath, and anger, and clamour, and evil-speaking be put away from you with all malice.

For we also were once foolish, disobedient, deceived, inslaved to various desires and pleasures, living in wickedness and envy, hateful, hating one another:

Guile

Who did no sin, neither was guile found in his mouth:

For he that loveth life and desireth to see good days, let him refrain his tongue from evil, and his lips, that they speak no guile:

Jesus saw Nathanael coming toward him, and saith of him, Behold an Israelite indeed, in whom is no guile.

For our exhortation is not of deceit, nor of uncleanness, nor in guile.

And in their mouth there was found no guile: they are without fault.

Hypocrisies

Thou hypocrite, first cast out the beam out of thine own eye, and then shalt thou see clearly to cast the mote out of thy brother's eye.

Ye hypocrites, well did Isaiah prophecy of you, saying,

So ye likewise outwardly appear righteous to men; but within ye are full of hypocrisy and iniquity.

And shall cut him asunder, and appoint him his portion with the hypocrites: there shall be weeping, and gnashing of teeth.

Shall we give, or shall we not give? But he knowing their hypocrisy, said to them, Why tempt ye me? Bring me a penny, that I may see it.

Or how canst thou say to thy brother, Brother, let me pull out the mote that is in thine eye, thou thyself not seeing the beam that is in thine own eye. Thou hypocrite, cast first the beam out of thine own eye, and then shalt thou see clearly to pull out the mote that is in thy brother's eye.

and salutations in the markets. Wo to you; for ye are as graves which appear not, and men that walk over them are not aware.

In the mean time, an innumerable multitude being gathered together, so that they trod one upon another, he said to his disciples first, Beware of the leaven of the Pharisees, which is hypocrisy.

But the wisdom that is from above is first pure, then peaceable, gentle, easy to be intreated, full of mercy and good fruits,

Envies

full of envy, murder, contention, deceit, malignity:

Let us walk decently, as in the day; not in banqueting and drunken entertainments, not in uncleannesses and wantonness, not in strife and envy.

I fed you with milk, not with meat; for ye were not yet able to bear it: nor are ye now able.

For I fear lest when I come, I should not find you such as I would, and lest I should be found by you such as ye would not: lest there should be contentions, envyings, wraths, strifes, backbitings, whisperings, swellings, tumults, Lest my God should humble me when I come to you again,

emulations, wraths, strifes, divisions, heresies, Envyings, murders, drunkenness, revellings, and such like: of which I tell you before (as I have also told you in time past) that they who practise such things, shall not inherit the kingdom of God.

But if ye have bitter zeal and strife in your hearts, do not glory and lie against the truth.

Do ye think, that the scripture saith in vain, The Spirit that dwelleth in us lusteth against envy?

All evil

Wherein they think it strange, that ye run not with them to the same excess of riot,

Let all bitterness, and wrath, and anger, and clamour, and evil-speaking be put away from you with all malice.

But now put ye also all these things off, anger, wrath, ill-nature, evil speaking, filthy discourse out of your mouth.

In like manner their wives must be serious, not slanderers, vigilant, faithful in all things.

That the aged women in like manner, be in behaviour as becometh holiness, not slanderers, not given to much wine, teachers of good things:

Speak not evil one of another, brethren. He that speaketh evil of his brother and judgeth his brother, speaketh evil of the law, and judgeth the law. But if thou judgest the law, thou art not a doer of the law, but a judge.
