- The Lord loves those who hate evil;
he guards the lives of his faithful;
he rescues them from the hand of the wicked. - There is one body and one Spirit, just as you were called to the one hope of your calling.
- Be still before the Lord, and wait patiently for him;
do not fret over those who prosper in their way,
over those who carry out evil devices. - Blessed are you when people revile you and persecute you and utter all kinds of evil against you falsely on my account.
- The Lord will rescue me from every evil attack and save me for his heavenly kingdom. To him be the glory forever and ever. Amen.
- Be careful then how you live, not as unwise people but as wise, making the most of the time, because the days are evil.
- Therefore take up the whole armor of God, so that you may be able to withstand on that evil day, and having done everything, to stand firm.
- Do not be wise in your own eyes;
fear the Lord, and turn away from evil.
It will be a healing for your flesh
and a refreshment for your body. - When God saw what they did, how they turned from their evil ways, God changed his mind about the calamity that he had said he would bring upon them; and he did not do it.
- Now a mediator involves more than one party; but God is one.
- For the eyes of the Lord are on the righteous,
and his ears are open to their prayer.
But the face of the Lord is against those who do evil. - Put to death, therefore, whatever in you is earthly: fornication, impurity, passion, evil desire, and greed (which is idolatry).
- And he said, “It is what comes out of a person that defiles. For it is from within, from the human heart, that evil intentions come: fornication, theft, murder, adultery, avarice, wickedness, deceit, licentiousness, envy, slander, pride, folly. All these evil things come from within, and they defile a person.”
- The face of the Lord is against evildoers,
to cut off the remembrance of them from the earth. - Even though I walk through the darkest valley,
I fear no evil;
for you are with me;
your rod and your staff—
they comfort me. - As servants of God, live as free people, yet do not use your freedom as a pretext for evil.
- If you then, who are evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will the heavenly Father give the Holy Spirit to those who ask him!
- For there is one God; there is also one mediator between God and humankind, Christ Jesus, himself human.
- For where there is envy and selfish ambition, there will also be disorder and wickedness of every kind.
- For the customs of the peoples are false:
a tree from the forest is cut down,
and worked with an ax by the hands of an artisan;
people deck it with silver and gold;
they fasten it with hammer and nails
so that it cannot move.
Their idols are like scarecrows in a cucumber field,
and they cannot speak;
they have to be carried,
for they cannot walk.
Do not be afraid of them,
for they cannot do evil,
nor is it in them to do good. - But do not ignore this one fact, beloved, that with the Lord one day is like a thousand years, and a thousand years are like one day.
- The Lord will keep you from all evil;
he will keep your life.
The Lord will keep
your going out and your coming in
from this time on and forevermore. - Blessed are you when people hate you, and when they exclude you, revile you, and defame you on account of the Son of Man.
- For the love of money is a root of all kinds of evil, and in their eagerness to be rich some have wandered away from the faith and pierced themselves with many pains.
- Love one another with mutual affection; outdo one another in showing honor.
