'Evil' in the Bible

One of themselves, even a prophet of their own, said, The Cretians are alway liars, evil beasts, slow bellies.

That old women are to be self-respecting in behaviour, not saying evil of others, not given to taking much wine, teachers of that which is good,

sober, pure, keepers of their own houses, good, subject to their own husbands, that the word of God may not be evil spoken of.

Sound speech, that cannot be condemned; that he that is of the contrary part may be ashamed, having no evil thing to say of you.

Training us so that, turning away from evil and the desires of this world, we may be living wisely and uprightly in the knowledge of God in this present life;

To speak evil of no man, to be no brawlers, but gentle, shewing all meekness unto all men.

For we too were once foolish, disobedient, misled, enslaved to various passions and desires, spending our lives in evil and envy, hateful and hating one another.
