Goodness

32And be kind to one another, tender hearted, forgiving each other, just as God also in Christ forgave you.

10So then, as we have opportunity, let’s do what is good toward all men, and especially toward those who are of the household of the faith.

9Let love be without hypocrisy. Abhor that which is evil. Cling to that which is good.

21Don’t be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good.

17Yahweh is righteous in all his ways, and gracious in all his works.

23“All things are lawful for me,” but not all things are profitable. “All things are lawful for me,” but not all things build up.

7Yahweh is good, a stronghold in the day of trouble; and he knows those who take refuge in him.

15Neither do you light a lamp, and put it under a measuring basket, but on a stand; and it shines to all who are in the house.

16Even so, let your light shine before men; that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father who is in heaven.

22But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faith,

23gentleness, and self-control. Against such things there is no law.

3Trust in Yahweh, and do good. Dwell in the land, and enjoy safe pasture.

22That which makes a man to be desired is his kindness. A poor man is better than a liar.

5Yes, and for this very cause adding on your part all diligence, in your faith supply moral excellence; and in moral excellence, knowledge;

6and in knowledge, self-control; and in self-control patience; and in patience godliness;

7and in godliness brotherly affection; and in brotherly affection, love.

29Let no corrupt speech proceed out of your mouth, but only what is good for building others up as the need may be, that it may give grace to those who hear.

16Yahweh says, “Stand in the ways and see, and ask for the old paths, ‘Where is the good way?’ and walk in it, and you will find rest for your souls. But they said, ‘We will not walk in it.’

6Yahweh, remember your tender mercies and your loving kindness, for they are from old times.

7Don’t remember the sins of my youth, nor my transgressions. Remember me according to your loving kindness, for your goodness’ sake, Yahweh.

14Depart from evil, and do good. seek peace, and pursue it.

8And God is able to make all grace abound to you, that you, always having all sufficiency in everything, may abound to every good work.

36“Therefore be merciful, even as your Father is also merciful.

13Now who is he who will harm you, if you become imitators of that which is good?

9In the same way, that women also adorn themselves in decent clothing, with modesty and propriety; not just with braided hair, gold, pearls, or expensive clothing;

10but (which becomes women professing godliness) with good works.

9Then you will understand righteousness and justice, equity and every good path.

14who gave himself for us, that he might redeem us from all iniquity, and purify for himself a people for his own possession, zealous for good works.

33Don’t be deceived! “Evil companionships corrupt good morals.”

13I am still confident of this: I will see the goodness of Yahweh in the land of the living.
