for not the hearers of the law are righteous before God, but the doers of the law shall be declared righteous: --

evil-speakers, God-haters, insulting, proud, boasters, inventors of evil things, disobedient to parents,

and not, as we are evil spoken of, and as certain affirm us to say -- 'We may do the evil things, that the good ones may come?' whose judgment is righteous.

giving back to no one evil for evil; providing right things before all men.

Be not overcome by the evil, but overcome, in the good, the evil.

for of God it is a ministrant to thee for good; and if that which is evil thou mayest do, be fearing, for not in vain doth it bear the sword; for of God it is a ministrant, an avenger for wrath to him who is doing that which is evil.
