Beloved, imitate not the evil, but the good. The one doing good is of God: the one doing evil has not seen God.

For it is better, doing good, if the will of the Lord should will it, to suffer, rather than doing evil.

for he is the minister of God for you for good. But if you do evil, fear; for he bears not the sword in vain: for he is the minister of God, executing judgment unto wrath unto the one doing evil.

For every one doing evil hates the light, and does not come to the light, in order that his works may not be convicted;

or to governors, as those having been sent out by him unto the condemnation of evil doers, and the praise of those doing good;

because the eyes of the Lord are upon the righteous, and his ears are open to their cry: but the face of the Lord is against those doing evil.
