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.' "

In mercy and truth Atonement is provided for iniquity; And by the fear of the LORD [one] departs from evil.

The highway of the upright [is] to depart from evil; He who keeps his way preserves his soul.

"Wash yourselves, make yourselves clean; Put away the evil of your doings from before My eyes. Cease to do evil,

Learn to do good; Seek justice, Rebuke the oppressor; Defend the fatherless, Plead for the widow.

Nevertheless the solid foundation of God stands, 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 who have believed 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] 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 the lust of it; but he who does the will of God abides forever.
