• James 3:13-18
    Who is wise and understanding among you? Let him show by good conduct that his works are done in the meekness of wisdom. But if you have bitter envy and self-seeking in your hearts, do not boast and lie against the truth. This wisdom does not descend from above, but is earthly, sensual, demonic. For where envy and self-seeking exist, confusion and every evil thing are there. But the wisdom that is from above is first pure, then peaceable, gentle, willing to yield, full of mercy and good fruits, without partiality and without hypocrisy. Now the fruit of righteousness is sown in peace by those who make peace.
     
  • Genesis 1:11-12

Then God said, "Let Us make man in Our image, according to Our likeness; let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, over the birds of the air, and over the cattle, over all the earth and over every creeping thing that creeps on the earth."

  • Psalm 28:3-5
    Do not take me away with the wicked
    And with the workers of iniquity,
    Who speak peace to their neighbors,
    But evil is in their hearts.
    Give them according to their deeds,
    And according to the wickedness of their endeavors;
    Give them according to the work of their hands;
    Render to them what they deserve.
    Because they do not regard the works of the LORD,
    Nor the operation of His hands,
    He shall destroy them
    And not build them up.
     
  • Psalm 34:14-22
    Depart from evil and do good;
    Seek peace and pursue it. The eyes of the LORD are on the righteous,
    And His ears are open to their cry.
    The face of the LORD is against those who do evil,
    To cut off the remembrance of them from the earth. The righteous cry out, and the LORD hears,
    And delivers them out of all their troubles.
    The LORD is near to those who have a broken heart,
    And saves such as have a contrite spirit. Many are the afflictions of the righteous,
    But the LORD delivers him out of them all.
    He guards all his bones;
    Not one of them is broken.
    Evil shall slay the wicked,
    And those who hate the righteous shall be condemned.
    The LORD redeems the soul of His servants,
    And none of those who trust in Him shall be condemned.

  • Proverbs 16:25-30
    There is a way that seems right to a man,
    But its end is the way of death.
    The person who labors, labors for himself,
    For his hungry mouth drives him on.
    An ungodly man digs up evil,
    And it is on his lips like a burning fire.
    A perverse man sows strife,
    And a whisperer separates the best of friends.
    A violent man entices his neighbor,
    And leads him in a way that is not good.
    He winks his eye to devise perverse things;
    He purses his lips and brings about evil.

  • Ezekiel 7:10-13
    ‘ Behold, the day!
    Behold, it has come!
    Doom has gone out;
    The rod has blossomed,
    Pride has budded.
    Violence has risen up into a rod of wickedness;
    None of them shall remain,
    None of their multitude,
    None of them;
    Nor shall there be wailing for them.
    The time has come,
    The day draws near.
    ‘ Let not the buyer rejoice,
    Nor the seller mourn,
    For wrath is on their whole multitude.
    For the seller shall not return to what has been sold,
    Though he may still be alive;
    For the vision concerns the whole multitude,
    And it shall not turn back;
    No one will strengthen himself
    Who lives in iniquity.

    And they will possess their houses;
    I will cause the pomp of the strong to cease,
    And their holy places shall be defiled.
    Destruction comes;
    They will seek peace, but there shall be none.
    Disaster will come upon disaster,
    And rumor will be upon rumor.
    Then they will seek a vision from a prophet;
    But the law will perish from the priest,
    And counsel from the elders.
    ‘ The king will mourn,
    The prince will be clothed with desolation,
    And the hands of the common people will tremble.
    I will do to them according to their way,
    And according to what they deserve I will judge them;
    Then they shall know that I am the LORD!’”

     
  • Ezekiel 8:12

  • Ezekiel 8:17-18

If anyone has ears to hear, let him hear!" When He had entered a house away from the crowd, His disciples asked Him concerning the parable. So He said to them, "Are you thus without understanding also? Do you not perceive that whatever enters a man from outside cannot defile him, because it does not enter his heart but his stomach, and is eliminated, thus purifying all foods?" And He said, "What comes out of a man, that defiles a man. For from within, out of the heart of men, proceed evil thoughts, adulteries, fornications, murders, thefts, covetousness, wickedness, deceit, lewdness, an evil eye, blasphemy, pride, foolishness. All these evil things come from within and defile a man."

  • Romans 1:28-32
    And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a debased mind, to do those things which are not fitting; being filled with all unrighteousness, sexual immorality, wickedness, covetousness, maliciousness; full of envy, murder, strife, deceit, evil-mindedness; they are whisperers, backbiters, haters of God, violent, proud, boasters, inventors of evil things, disobedient to parents, undiscerning, untrustworthy, unloving, unforgiving, unmerciful; who, knowing the righteous judgment of God, that those who practice such things are deserving of death, not only do the same but also approve of those who practice them.
     
  • Romans 2:14-15
    for when Gentiles, who do not have the law, by nature do the things in the law, these, although not having the law, are a law to themselves, who show the work of the law written in their hearts, their conscience also bearing witness, and between themselves their thoughts accusing or else excusing them)
     
  • Romans 7:15-25
    For what I am doing, I do not understand. For what I will to do, that I do not practice; but what I hate, that I do. If, then, I do what I will not to do, I agree with the law that it is good. But now, it is no longer I who do it, but sin that dwells in me. For I know that in me (that is, in my flesh) nothing good dwells; for to will is present with me, but how to perform what is good I do not find. For the good that I will to do, I do not do; but the evil I will not to do, that I practice. Now if I do what I will not to do, it is no longer I who do it, but sin that dwells in me. I find then a law, that evil is present with me, the one who wills to do good. For I delight in the law of God according to the inward man. But I see another law in my members, warring against the law of my mind, and bringing me into captivity to the law of sin which is in my members. O wretched man that I am! Who will deliver me from this body of death? I thank God—through Jesus Christ our Lord! So then, with the mind I myself serve the law of God, but with the flesh the law of sin.
     
  • Romans 8:4-7
    that the righteous requirement of the law might be fulfilled in us who do not walk according to the flesh but according to the Spirit. For those who live according to the flesh set their minds on the things of the flesh, but those who live according to the Spirit, the things of the Spirit. For to be carnally minded is death, but to be spiritually minded is life and peace. Because the carnal mind is enmity against God; for it is not subject to the law of God, nor indeed can be.
     
  • 1 Corinthians 2:14
    But the natural man does not receive the things of the Spirit of God, for they are foolishness to him; nor can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned.
     
  • 2 Corinthians 6:14-18
    Do not be unequally yoked together with unbelievers. For what fellowship has righteousness with lawlessness? And what communion has light with darkness? And what accord has Christ with Belial? Or what part has a believer with an unbeliever? And what agreement has the temple of God with idols? For you are the temple of the living God. As God has said:
    "I will dwell in them
    And walk among them.
    I will be their God,
    And they shall be My people."
    Therefore "Come out from among them
    And be separate, says the Lord.
    Do not touch what is unclean,
    And I will receive you."
    "I will be a Father to you,
    And you shall be My sons and daughters,
    Says the LORD Almighty."

  • Titus 1:15-16
    To the pure all things are pure, but to those who are defiled and unbelieving nothing is pure; but even their mind and conscience are defiled. They profess to know God, but in works they deny Him, being abominable, disobedient, and disqualified for every good work.
     
  • Hebrews 11:36-37
