Bible verses about "morality" | Noyes

²⁰ And he said, That which cometh out of a man, that defileth a man. ²¹ For from within, out of the heart of men, come forth evil thoughts, fornications, ²² thefts, murders, adulteries, covetousness, iniquities, deceit, wantonness, an evil eye, blasphemy, pride, foolishness. ²³ All these evil things come from within, and defile a man.

⁸ Owe no one anything but brotherly love; for he that loveth others hath fulfilled the Law. ⁹ For these, "Thou shalt not commit adultery, Thou shalt not kill, Thou shalt not steal, Thou shalt not covet," and every other commandment, are summed up in this precept, "Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself." ¹⁰ Love worketh no ill to ones neighbor; therefore love is the fulfilling of the Law.

⁹ Know ye not, that wrongdoers shall not inherit the kingdom of God? Be not deceived; neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor the effeminate, nor abusers of themselves with mankind, ¹⁰ nor thieves, nor the covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners, shall inherit the kingdom of God. ¹¹ And such were some of you; but ye were washed, but ye were made holy, but ye were accepted as righteous in the name of the Lord Jesus, and in the Spirit of our God.

¹ Let every one submit to the authorities that are over him; for there is no authority which is not from God: and the authorities which exist have been ordained by God. ² He therefore that setteth himself against the authority resisteth what God hath ordained; and they a who resist will bring upon themselves judgment. ³ For rulers are not a terror to good works, but to the evil. Wouldst thou then not be afraid of the government? Do that which is good, and thou wilt have praise from it; ⁴ for the ruler is Gods servant to thee for good. But if thou doest evil, be afraid; for he beareth not the sword in vain; for he is Gods servant, an avenger to inflict wrath upon him that doeth evil. ⁵ It is necessary therefore to submit, not only because of the wrath, but also for your conscience sake. ⁶ For the same reason pay tribute also; for they are ministers of God, attending continually to this very business. ⁷ Render to all what is due to them; tribute, to whom tribute is due; custom, to whom custom; fear, to whom fear; honor, to whom honor.
