Bible verses about "morality" | Living_Oracles

²⁰ But, added he, that which proceeds out of the man, is what pollutes the man: ²¹ for from within the human heart proceed vicious machinations, adulteries, fornications, murders, thefts, ²² insatiable desires, malevolence, fraud, immodesty, envy, calumny, arrogance, levity. ²³ All these evils issue from within, and pollute the man.

⁸ Owe no man anything, unless to love one another. For he who loves another, has fulfilled the law. ⁹ For this, "You shall not commit adultery, You shall not kill, You shall not covet"; and if there be any other commandment, it is summed up in this precept, namely, "You shall love your neighbor as yourself." ¹⁰ Love works no evil to one's neighbor: therefore, love the fulfilling of the law.

⁹ Do you not know that the unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom of God? Be not deceived: neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor catamites, nor sodomites, ¹⁰ nor thieves, nor misers, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners, shall inherit the kingdom of God. ¹¹ And such were some of you; but you are washed, but you are sanctified, but you are justified, by the name of the Lord Jesus, and by the Spirit of our God.

¹ Let every soul be subject to the higher powers. For there is no power but from God; and those that exist are placed under God. ² Wherefore, he who sets himself in opposition to the power, resists the ordinance of God: and they who resist shall procure punishment to themselves. ³ For rulers are not a terror to good works, but to evil. Would you, then, not be afraid of the power? Do that which is good, and you shall have praise of the same. ⁴ For the ruler is a servant of God for good to you. But if you do that which is evil, be afraid; because he does not bear the sword in vain. For he is a servant of God, a revenger to inflict wrath on him who works evil. ⁵ Wherefore, it is necessary for you to be subject, not only on account of punishment, but also on account of conscience. ⁶ For this reason, therefore, you pay taxes also to them, because they are public ministers of God, attending continually to this very business. ⁷ Render, therefore, to all their dues; to whom tax is due, tax; to whom custom, custom; to whom fear, fear; to whom honor, honor.
