Bible verses about "morality" | Murdock

²⁰ But that which proceedeth from a man, that defileth a man. ²¹ For from within, from the heart of men, proceed evil thoughts, adultery, whoredom, ²² theft, murder, avarice, malice, deceit, lasciviousness, an evil eye, reviling, haughtiness, folly. ²³ All these evil things come from within, and defile a man.

⁸ And owe nothing to any one; but to love one another. For he that loveth his neighbor, hath fulfilled the law. ⁹ For this likewise, which it saith: Thou shalt not kill; nor commit adultery; nor steal; nor covet; and if there is any other commandment, it is completed in this sentence: Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself. ¹⁰ Love doeth no evil to one's neighbor; because love is the fulfillment of the law.

⁹ Or do ye not know, that the unrighteous will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not mistake; neither whoremongers, nor idol-worshippers, nor adulterers, nor debauchers, nor liers with males, ¹⁰ nor the avaricious, nor thieves, nor drunkards, nor railers, nor extortioners, will inherit the kingdom of God. ¹¹ And these things have been in some of you: but ye are washed, and are sanctified, and made righteous, in the name of our Lord Jesus the Messiah, and by the Spirit of our God.

¹ Let every soul be subject to the authorities of magistracy. For there is no authority which is not from God: and the authorities which exist, are established by God. ² He therefore who opposeth the authority, opposeth the establishment of God; and they who oppose them, shall receive judgment. ³ For judges are not a terror to good deeds, but to evil deeds. Wouldst thou then not be afraid of the authority? Do good, and thou shalt have praise from it. ⁴ For he is the minister of God; but it is to thee for good. But if thou doest evil, be afraid; for he is not girded with the sword in vain; for he is a minister of God, and an avenger of wrath to them that do evil things. ⁵ And therefore, it is necessary for us to be obedient, not only on account of wrath, but likewise on account of our consciences. ⁶ For this cause also ye pay tribute money; for they are the ministers of God, established for these same objects. ⁷ Render therefore to every one, as is due to him; tribute-money, to whom tribute-money; and excise, to whom excise; and fear, to whom fear; and honor, to whom honor.
