Evil Thoughts

No temptation has seized you except what is common to man. And God is faithful; He will not let you be tempted beyond what you can bear. But when you are tempted, He will also provide an escape, so that you can stand up under it.

Finally, brothers, whatever is true, whatever is honorable, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable—if anything is excellent or praiseworthy—think on these things.

Beloved, do not imitate what is evil, but what is good. The one who does good is of God; the one who does evil has not seen God.

Do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good.

The LORD detests the thoughts of the wicked, but the words of the pure are pleasant to Him.

Do not gloat when your enemy falls, and do not let your heart rejoice when he stumbles,

But I tell you that anyone who looks at a woman to lust after her has already committed adultery with her in his heart.

Brothers, do not slander one another. Anyone who speaks against his brother or judges him speaks against the law and judges it. And if you judge the law, you are not a practitioner of the law, but a judge of it.

For out of the heart come evil thoughts, murder, adultery, sexual immorality, theft, false testimony, and slander.

For God so loved the world that He gave His one and only Son, that everyone who believes in Him shall not perish but have eternal life.
