Deceit is in the heart of those who plot evil, but those who promote peace have joy.

The wicked person desires a stronghold, but the righteous root endures.

The one who hates others disguises it with his lips, but he stores up deceit within him.

For a child has been born to us, a son has been given to us. He shoulders responsibility and is called: Extraordinary Strategist, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.

But I have not pestered you to bring disaster. I have not desired the time of irreparable devastation. You know that. You are fully aware of every word that I have spoken.

Indeed, he will build the temple of the Lord, and he will be clothed in splendor, sitting as king on his throne. Moreover, there will be a priest with him on his throne and they will see eye to eye on everything.

"Blessed are the peacemakers, for they will be called the children of God.

For from within, out of the human heart, come evil ideas, sexual immorality, theft, murder,

When they came they said to him, "Teacher, we know that you are truthful and do not court anyone's favor, because you show no partiality but teach the way of God in accordance with the truth. Is it right to pay taxes to Caesar or not? Should we pay or shouldn't we?"

They are filled with every kind of unrighteousness, wickedness, covetousness, malice. They are rife with envy, murder, strife, deceit, hostility. They are gossips,

Pursue peace with everyone, and holiness, for without it no one will see the Lord.

Finally, all of you be harmonious, sympathetic, affectionate, compassionate, and humble.
