²²The lamp of your body is your eye. If your eye is wholesome, your entire body will be filled with light. ²³But if your eye has been corrupted, your entire body will be darkened. If then the light that is in you is darkness, how great will that darkness be!

⁸Concerning the rest, brothers, whatever is true, whatever is chaste, whatever is just, whatever is holy, whatever is worthy to be loved, whatever is of good repute, if there is any virtue, if there is any praiseworthy discipline: meditate on these.

⁶The Lord questions the just and the impious. Yet he who loves iniquity, hates his own soul.

³I will not display any unjust thing before my eyes. I have hated those carrying out betrayals.

¹²All is lawful to me, but not all is expedient. All is lawful to me, but I will not be driven back by the authority of anyone.

¹¹For the grace of God our Savior has appeared to all men, ¹²instructing us to reject impiety and worldly desires, so that we may live soberly and justly and piously in this age,

⁵Therefore, mortify your body, while it is upon the earth. For because of fornication, impurity, lust, evil desires, and avarice, which are a kind of service to idols,

²³Preserve your heart with all watchfulness, for life proceeds from this.

²⁷You have heard that it was said to the ancients: ‘You shall not commit adultery.’ ²⁸But I say to you, that anyone who will have looked at a woman, so as to lust after her, has already committed adultery with her in his heart. ²⁹And if your right eye causes you to sin, root it out and cast it away from you. For it is better for you that one of your members perish, than that your whole body be cast into Hell. ³⁰And if your right hand causes you to sin, cut it off and cast it away from you. For it is better for you that one of your members perish, than that your whole body go into Hell.

¹⁹Now the works of the flesh are manifest; they are: fornication, lust, homosexuality, self-indulgence, ²⁰the serving of idols, drug use, hostility, contentiousness, jealousy, wrath, quarrels, dissensions, divisions, ²¹envy, murder, inebriation, carousing, and similar things. About these things, I continue to preach to you, as I have preached to you: that those who act in this way shall not obtain the kingdom of God.

²⁰“But,” he said “the things which go out from a man, these pollute a man. ²¹For from within, from the heart of men, proceed evil thoughts, adulteries, fornications, murders, ²²thefts, avarice, wickedness, deceitfulness, homosexuality, an evil eye, blasphemy, self-exaltation, foolishness. ²³All these evils proceed from within and pollute a man.”

²¹But test all things. Hold on to whatever is good. ²²Abstain from every kind of evil.

⁶Charity does not rejoice over iniquity, but rejoices in truth.
