being filled with all unrighteousness, fornication, wickedness, covetousness, maliciousness; being full of envy, murder, quarrels, deceit, evil habits, becoming whisperers,

backbiters, haters of God, insolent, proud, braggarts, inventors of evil things, disobedient to parents,

tribulation and anguish upon every soul of man who has worked out evil; of the Jew first, and also of the Greek.

For I do not do the good that I desire; but the evil which I do not will, that I do.

I find then a law: when I will to do the right, evil is present with me.

(for the children had not yet been born, neither had done any good or evil; but that the purpose of God according to election might stand, not of works but of Him who called,)

Let love be without hypocrisy, shrinking from evil, cleaving to good;

Repay no one evil for evil. Provide things honest in the sight of all men.

Do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good.

For it is a servant of God to you for good. For if you practice evil, be afraid, for it does not bear the sword in vain; for it is a servant of God, a revenger for wrath on him who does evil.

Then do not let your good be spoken evil of,

For your obedience reached to all. Therefore I am glad on your behalf, But I would have you truly wise as to good, and simple toward evil.
