'Goodness' in the Bible

You however are to be complete in goodness, as your Heavenly Father is complete.

"You are they," He said to them, "who boast of their own goodness before men, but God sees your hearts; for that which holds a proud position among men is detestable in God's sight.

This statement of Peter's silenced his opponents. They extolled the goodness of God, and said, "So, then, to the Gentiles also God has given the repentance which leads to Life."

Or is it that you think slightingly of His infinite goodness, forbearance and patience, unaware that the goodness of God is gently drawing you to repentance?

in order to make known His infinite goodness towards the subjects of His mercy whom He has prepared beforehand for glory,

Do not be overcome by evil, but overcome the evil with goodness.

But as to you, brethren, I am convinced-- yes, I Paul am convinced--that, even apart from my teaching, you are already full of goodness of heart, and enriched with complete Christian knowledge, and are also competent to instruct one another.

For you know the condescending goodness of our Lord Jesus Christ--how for your sakes He became poor, though He was rich, in order that you through His poverty might grow rich.

You are imagining, all this time, that we are making our defense at your bar. In reality it is as in God's presence and in communion with Christ that we speak; but, dear friends, it is all with a view to your progress in goodness.

in order that, by His goodness to us in Christ Jesus, He might display in the Ages to come the transcendent riches of His grace.

Live and act as sons of Light--for the effect of the Light is seen in every kind of goodness, uprightness and truth--

destitute of natural affection, unforgiving, slanderers. They will have no self-control, but will be brutal, opposed to goodness,

but hospitable to strangers, a lover of goodness, sober-minded, upright, saintly, self-controlled;

But when the goodness of God our Saviour, and His love to man, dawned upon us, not in consequence of things which we,

if you have had any experience of the goodness of the Lord.
