But prove yourselves doers of the word, and not merely hearers who deceive themselves.

For it is not the hearers of the law who are righteous in the sight of God, but the doers of the law who will be justified.

The good man out of the good treasure of his heart brings forth good things, and an evil man out of the evil treasure brings forth evil things.

The good man out of the good treasure of his heart brings forth good, and an evil man out of the evil treasure of his heart brings forth evil. For out of the abundance of the heart his mouth speaks.

Do not return evil for evil or insult for insult, but give a blessing instead; for to this you were called, that you may inherit a blessing.

and not be like Cain who was of the evil one and murdered his brother. And why did he murder him? Because his own deeds were evil and his brother's righteous.

Beloved, do not imitate what is evil, but what is good. The one who does good is of God; the one who does evil has not seen God.

Repay no one evil for evil, but have regard for what is noble in the sight of all.

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

See that none of you repays evil for evil, but always seek to do good to one another and to all.
