'Evil' in the Bible

They are filled with all unrighteousness, evil, greed, and wickedness. They are full of envy, murder, quarrels, deceit, and malice. They are gossips,

slanderers, God-haters, arrogant, proud, boastful, inventors of evil, disobedient to parents,

affliction and distress for every human being who does evil, first to the Jew, and also to the Greek;

And why not say, just as some people slanderously claim we say, “Let us do what is evil so that good may come”? Their condemnation is deserved!

For I do not do the good that I want to do, but I practice the evil that I do not want to do.

So I discover this principle: When I want to do what is good, evil is with me.

Love must be without hypocrisy. Detest evil; cling to what is good.

Do not repay anyone evil for evil. Try to do what is honorable in everyone’s eyes.

Do not be conquered by evil, but conquer evil with good.

The report of your obedience has reached everyone. Therefore I rejoice over you. But I want you to be wise about what is good, yet innocent about what is evil.
