'Motives' in the Bible

All a man’s ways seem right to him,but the Lord evaluates the motives.

All a man’s ways seem right to him,but the Lord evaluates the motives.

The sacrifice of a wicked person is detestable—how much more sowhen he brings it with ulterior motives!

Do not desire his delicacies,For it is deceptive food [offered to you with questionable motives].

If you say, "Look here, we didn't know about this," doesn't God, who examines motives, discern it? Doesn't the one who guards your soul know about it? Won't he repay each person according to what he has done?
