'Act' in the Bible

You shall not go about as a slanderer among your people, and you are not to act against the life of your neighbor; I am the Lord.

If there is a man who lies with a male as those who lie with a woman, both of them have committed a detestable act; they shall surely be put to death. Their bloodguiltiness is upon them.

‘If then, you act with hostility against Me and are unwilling to obey Me, I will increase the plague on you seven times according to your sins.

‘And if by these things you are not turned to Me, but act with hostility against Me,

then I will act with hostility against you; and I, even I, will strike you seven times for your sins.

‘Yet if in spite of this you do not obey Me, but act with hostility against Me,

then I will act with wrathful hostility against you, and I, even I, will punish you seven times for your sins.
