Depart from evil and do good; seek peace and pursue it.

And to man He said, Behold, the fear of the Lord, that is wisdom, and to depart from evil is understanding.

By mercy and truth iniquity is purged, and by the fear of Jehovah men turn away from evil.

The way of the upright is to turn away from evil; he who keeps his way guards his soul.

Wash yourselves, purify yourselves. Put away the evil of your doings from My eyes; stop doing evil.

Learn to do good, seek justice, set straight the oppressor, judge for the orphan, plead for the widow.

Nevertheless the solid foundation of God stands firm, having this seal: The Lord knows those who are His, and, Let everyone who names the name of Christ depart from iniquity.

For the grace of God that brings salvation has appeared to all men,

looking for the blessed hope and glorious appearing of our great God and Savior Jesus Christ,

See that no one renders evil for evil to anyone, but always pursue what is good both for yourselves and for all.

This is a faithful saying, and these things I want you to affirm constantly, that those believing in God should be careful to maintain good works. These things are good and profitable to men.

And let our people also learn to maintain good works, to meet urgent needs, that they may not be unfruitful.

But do not forget to do good and to share, for with such sacrifices God is well pleased.

make you complete in every good work to do His will, working in you what is well pleasing in His sight, through Jesus Christ, to whom be the glory forever and ever. Amen.

For all that is in the world; the lust of the flesh, the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life; is not of the Father but is of the world.

And the world is passing away, and its lust; but he who does the will of God abides forever.
