for it is not the hearers of the Law who are just before God, but the doers of the Law will be justified.

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

The good man out of the good treasure of his heart brings forth what is good; and the evil man out of the evil treasure brings forth what is evil; for his mouth speaks from that which fills his heart.

The good man brings out of his good treasure what is good; and the evil man brings out of his evil treasure what is evil.

Never pay back evil for evil to anyone. Respect what is right in the sight of all men.

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

for it is a minister of God to you for good. But if you do what is evil, be afraid; for it does not bear the sword for nothing; for it is a minister of God, an avenger who brings wrath on the one who practices evil.

See that no one repays another with evil for evil, but always seek after that which is good for one another and for all people.

not returning evil for evil or insult for insult, but giving a blessing instead; for you were called for the very purpose that you might inherit a blessing.

not as Cain, who was of the evil one and slew his brother. And for what reason did he slay him? Because his deeds were evil, and his brother’s were 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.
