'Evil' in the Bible

For there is a revelation of the wrath of God from heaven against all the wrongdoing and evil thoughts of men who keep down what is true by wrongdoing;

For this reason God gave them up to the evil desires of their hearts, working shame in their bodies with one another:

For this reason God gave them up to evil passions, and their women were changing the natural use into one which is unnatural:

And because they had not the mind to keep God in their knowledge, God gave them up to an evil mind, to do those things which are not right;

Being full of all wrongdoing, evil, desire for the goods of others, hate, envy, putting to death, fighting, deceit, cruel ways, evil talk, and false statements about others;

Hated by God, full of pride, without respect, full of loud talk, given to evil inventions, not honouring father or mother,

Trouble and sorrow on all whose works are evil, to the Jew first and then to the Greek;

Let us not do evil so that good may come (a statement which we are falsely said by some to have made), because such behaviour will have its right punishment.

For this reason, as through one man sin came into the world, and death because of sin, and so death came to all men, because all have done evil:

I am using words in the way of men, because your flesh is feeble: as you gave your bodies as servants to what is unclean, and to evil to do evil, so now give them as servants to righteousness to do what is holy.

For when we were in the flesh, the evil passions which came into being through the law were working in our bodies to give the fruit of death.

Was then that which is good, death to me? In no way. But the purpose was that sin might be seen to be sin by working death to me through that which is good; so that through the orders of the law sin might seem much more evil.

For the good which I have a mind to do, I do not: but the evil which I have no mind to do, that I do.

So I see a law that, though I have a mind to do good, evil is present in me.

For what the law was not able to do because it was feeble through the flesh, God, sending his Son in the image of the evil flesh, and as an offering for sin, gave his decision against sin in the flesh:

Who will say anything against the saints of God? It is God who makes us clear from evil;

Let love be without deceit. Be haters of what is evil; keep your minds fixed on what is good.

Do not give evil for evil to any man. Let all your business be well ordered in the eyes of all men.

Do not let evil overcome you, but overcome evil by good.

For rulers are not a cause of fear to the good work but to the evil. If you would have no fear of the authority, do good and you will have praise;

For he is the servant of God to you for good. But if you do evil, have fear; for the sword is not in his hand for nothing: he is God's servant, making God's punishment come on the evil-doer.

Let it not be possible for men to say evil about your good:

Do not let the work of God come to nothing on account of food. All things are certainly clean; but it is evil for that man who by taking food makes it hard for another.

For such people are not servants of the Lord Christ, but of their stomachs; and by their smooth and well-said words the hearts of those who have no knowledge of evil are tricked.

For all have knowledge of how you do what you are ordered. For this reason I have joy in you, but it is my desire that you may be wise in what is good, and without knowledge of evil.
