'Evil' in the Bible

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

evil-speakers, God-haters, insulting, proud, boasters, inventors of evil things, disobedient to parents,

tribulation and distress, upon every soul of man that is working the evil, both of Jew first, and of Greek;

for the name of God because of you is evil spoken of among the nations, according as it hath been written.

and not, as we are evil spoken of, and as certain affirm us to say -- 'We may do the evil things, that the good ones may come?' whose judgment is righteous.

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

I find, then, the law, that when I desire to do what is right, with me the evil is present,

(for they being not yet born, neither having done anything good or evil, that the purpose of God, according to choice, might remain; not of works, but of Him who is calling,) it was said to her --

The love unfeigned: abhorring the evil; cleaving to the good;

giving back to no one evil for evil; providing right things before all men.

Be not overcome by the evil, but overcome, in the good, the evil.

For those ruling are not a terror to the good works, but to the evil; and dost thou wish not to be afraid of the authority? that which is good be doing, and thou shalt have praise from it,

for of God it is a ministrant to thee for good; and if that which is evil thou mayest do, be fearing, for not in vain doth it bear the sword; for of God it is a ministrant, an avenger for wrath to him who is doing that which is evil.

Let not, then, your good be evil spoken of,

for the sake of victuals cast not down the work of God; all things, indeed, are pure, but evil is to the man who is eating through stumbling.

for your obedience did reach to all; I rejoice, therefore, as regards you, and I wish you to be wise, indeed, as to the good, and harmless as to the evil;
