'Evil' in the Bible

Even as he made selection of us in him from the first, so that we might be holy and free from all evil before him in love:

Who having no more power of feeling, have given themselves up to evil passions, to do all unclean things with overmuch desire.

That you are to put away, in relation to your earlier way of life, the old man, which has become evil by love of deceit;

And do not give way to the Evil One.

Let no evil talk come out of your mouth, but only what is good for giving necessary teaching, and for grace to those who give ear.

Let all bitter, sharp and angry feeling, and noise, and evil words, be put away from you, with all unkind acts;

But evil acts of the flesh and all unclean things, or desire for others' property, let it not even be named among you, as is right for saints;

Making good use of the time, because the days are evil.

Take up God's instruments of war, so that you may be able to keep your position against all the deceits of the Evil One.

For our fight is not against flesh and blood, but against authorities and powers, against the world-rulers of this dark night, against the spirits of evil in the heavens.

For this reason take up all the arms of God, so that you may be able to be strong in the evil day, and, having done all, to keep your place.

And most of all, using faith as a cover to keep off all the flaming arrows of the Evil One.
