'Evil' in the Bible

being filled with all unrighteousness, wickedness, covetousness, malice; full of envy, murder, strife, deceit, evil dispositions; whisperers,

back-biters, hateful to God, insolent, proud, boasters, inventors of evil things, disobedient to parents,

tribulation and distress, on every soul of man that works evil, both of Jew first, and of Greek;

and not, according as we are injuriously charged, and according as some affirm that we say, Let us practise evil things, that good ones may come? whose judgment is just.

For I do not practise the good that I will; but the evil I do not will, that I do.

I find then the law upon me who will to practise what is right, that with me evil is there.

Let love be unfeigned; abhorring evil; cleaving to good:

recompensing to no one evil for evil: providing things honest before all men:

Be not overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good.

For rulers are not a terror to a good work, but to an evil one. Dost thou desire then not to be afraid of the authority? practise what is good, and thou shalt have praise from it;

for it is God's minister to thee for good. But if thou practisest evil, fear; for it bears not the sword in vain; for it is God's minister, an avenger for wrath to him that does evil.

Let not then your good be evil spoken of;

For the sake of meat do not destroy the work of God. All things indeed are pure; but it is evil to that man who eats while stumbling in doing so.

For your obedience has reached to all. I rejoice therefore as it regards you; but I wish you to be wise as to that which is good, and simple as to evil.
