MATTHEW 5:38-39
“You have heard that it was said,
‘Eye for eye, and tooth for tooth.’
But I tell you,
Do not resist an evil person.
If someone strikes you on the right cheek,
turn to him the other also.”
MATTHEW 6:18
“Your Father,
who sees what is done in secret,
will reward you.”
MATTHEW 7:15-16
“Watch out for false prophets.
They come to you in sheep’s clothing,
but inwardly they are ferocious wolves.
By their fruit you will recognize them.”
MATTHEW 10:26
“There is nothing concealed that
will not be disclosed,
or hidden that will not be made known.”
MATTHEW 12:35-37
“The good man brings good things
out of the good stored up in him,
and the evil man brings evil things out
of the evil stored up in him.
But I tell you that men will have to
give account
on the day of judgment
for every careless word they have spoken.
For by your words you will be acquitted,
and by your words you will be condemned.”
MATTHEW 15:18-19
“The things that come out of the
mouth come from the heart,
and these make a man ‘unclean.’
For out of the heart come evil thoughts,
murder, adultery, sexual immorality,
theft, false testimony, slander.
These are what make a man ‘unclean’”
MATTHEW 16:27
“For the Son of man is going to come
in his Father’s glory with his angels,
and then he will reward each person
according to what he has done.”
MATTHEW 22:36-40
“Teacher, which is the greatest
commandment?”
Jesus replied,
“’Love the Lord your God
with all your heart and with all your
soul and with all your mind.’
This is the first and greatest
commandment.
And the second is like it:
‘Love your neighbor as yourself.’
All the Law and the Prophets hang on
these two commandments.”
MATTHEW 23:27-28
“Woe to you,
teachers of the law and Pharisees,
you hypocrites!
You are like whitewashed tombs, which look beautiful on the
outside
but on the inside are full of dead
men’s bones and everything unclean.
In the same way,
on the outside you appear to people as righteous
but on the inside you are full of hypocrisy and wickedness.”
MARK 7:20-21
“What comes out of a man is what
makes him ‘unclean.’
For from within, out of men’s hearts,
come evil thoughts,
sexual immorality,
theft,
murder, adultery,
greed, malice,
deceit,
lewdness, envy,
slander,
arrogance and folly.
All these evils come from inside
and make a man ‘unclean.’”
LUKE 6:43-45
“No good tree bears bad fruit,
nor does a bad tree bear good fruit.
Each tree is recognized by its own fruit.
People do not pick figs from thornbushes,
or grapes from briers.
The good man brings good things out
of the good stored up in his heart,
and the evil man brings evil things out
of the evil stored up in his heart.
For out of the overflow of his heart his
mouth speaks.”
JOHN 3:19-21
“This is the verdict:
Light has come into the world,
but men loved darkness instead of light
because their
deeds were evil.
Everyone who does evil hates the light,
and will not come into the light
for fear that his deeds will be exposed.
But whoever lives by the truth comes
into the light,
so that it may be seen plainly that
what he has done
has been done through God.”
JOHN 8:44
…not holding to the truth,
for there is no truth in him [Satan].
When he lies, he speaks his native language,
for he is a liar and the father of lies.
ACTS 1:24
Lord, you know everyone’s heart.
ACTS 5:3-4
“Ananias, how is it that Satan has so
filled your heart
that you have lied to the Holy Spirit…?
You have not lied to men but to God.”
ACTS 17:31
[God] has set a day
when he will judge the world with justice
by the man he has
appointed.
He has given proof of this to all men
by raising him
from the dead.
ROMANS 6:11-12
Count yourselves dead to sin but
alive to God in Christ Jesus.
Therefore do not let sin reign in your mortal body
so that you obey its evil desires.
ROMANS 8:28
And we know that in all things God works for the good
of those who love him,
who have been called according to his purpose.
ROMANS 2:5-8,16
(5-8)
Because of your stubbornness and
your unrepentant heart,
you are storing up wrath against yourself
for the day of God’s wrath,
when his righteous judgment will be revealed.
God “will give back to each person
according to what he has done”
(Psalm 62:12, Proverbs 24:12)
To those who by persistence in doing good
seek glory, honor and immortality,
he will give eternal life.
But for those who are self-seeking
and who reject the truth and follow evil,
there will be wrath and anger.
(16)
This will take place on the day
when God will judge men’s secrets
through Jesus Christ
ROMANS 12:9,17-19,21
(9)
Love must be sincere.
Hate what is evil;
cling to what is good.
(17-19)
Do not repay anyone evil for evil.
Be careful to do what is right in the eyes of everybody.
If it is possible, as far as it depends on you,
live at peace with everyone.
Do not take revenge, my friends,
but leave room for God’s wrath, for it is written:
“It is mine to avenge; I will repay,”
says the Lord.
(21)
Do not be overcome by evil,
but overcome evil by good.
ROMANS 13:9-10
The commandments…
are summed up in this one rule:
“Love your neighbor as yourself.”
Love does no harm to its neighbor.
ROMANS 14:10-12
For we will all stand before God’s
judgment seat.
It is written:
“’As surely as I live,’ says the Lord,
‘every knee shall bow before me;
every tongue will
confess to God.’”
So then, each of us
will give account of himself to God.
1 CORINTHIANS 3:10-15
By the grace God has given me,
I laid a foundation as an expert builder,
and someone else is building on it.
But each one should be careful how he builds.
For no one can lay any foundation
other than the one already laid,
which is Jesus Christ.
If any man builds on this foundation
using gold, silver, costly stones,
wood, hay or straw,
his work will be shown for what it is,
because the Day will bring it to light.
It will be revealed with fire,
and the fire will test the quality of
each man’s work.
If what he has built survives,
he will receive his reward.
If it is burned up, he will suffer loss;
he himself will be saved,
but only as one escaping through flames.
1 CORINTHIANS 4:4-5
It is the Lord who judges me.
Therefore judge nothing before the
appointed time;
wait till the Lord comes.
He will bring to light what is hidden
in darkness
and will expose the motives of
men’s hearts.
At that time each will receive his
praise from God.
2 CORINTHIANS 5:10
For we must all appear
before the judgment seat of Christ,
that each one may receive what is due him
for the things done while in the body,
whether good or bad.
2 CORINTHIANS 11:13-15
For such men are false apostles,
deceitful workmen,
masquerading as apostles of Christ.
And no wonder, for
Satan himself masqueraded as an
angel of light.
It is not surprising, then,
if his servants masquerade as
servants of righteousness.
Their end will be what their actions deserve.
GALATIANS 2:6
God does not judge by external appearance
GALATIANS 6:7-10
Do not be deceived;
God cannot be mocked.
A man reaps what he sows.
The one who sows to please his sinful nature,
from that nature will reap destruction;
the one who sows to please the Spirit,
from the Spirit will reap eternal life.
Let us not become weary in doing good,
for at the proper time we will reap a
harvest if we do not give up.
Therefore, as we have opportunity,
let us do good to all people,
especially to those who belong
to the family of believers.
EPHESIANS 4:25,31-32
(25)
Each of you must put off falsehood and speak truthfully to
his neighbor
(31-32)
Get rid of all bitterness, rage and
anger, brawling and slander,
along with every form of malice.
Be kind and compassionate to one another,
forgiving each other, just as in Christ
God forgave you.
EPHESIANS 6:8
The Lord will reward everyone
for whatever good he does.
COLOSSIANS 3:5-10,17,23-25
(5-10)
Put to death, therefore, whatever
belongs to your earthly nature:
sexual immorality, impurity, lust, evil
desires and greed, which is idolatry.
Because of these things, the wrath of
God is coming.
You used to walk in these ways, in
the life you once lived.
But now you must rid yourselves of all
such things as these:
anger, rage, malice, slander, and
filthy language from your lips.
Do not lie to each other,
since you have taken off your old self
with its practices
and have put on the new self,
which is being renewed in knowledge
in the image of its Creator.
(17)
And whatever you do,
whether in word or deed,
do it all in the name of the Lord Jesus
(23-25)
Whatever you do,
work at it with all your heart,
as working for the Lord, not for men,
since you know that you will receive
an inheritance
from the Lord as a reward.
It is the Lord Christ you are serving.
Anyone who does wrong
will be repaid for his wrong, and there
is no favoritism.
1 THESSALONIANS 2:4-5
We are not trying to please men but God,
who tests our hearts…
God is our witness.
1 THESSALONIANS 5:15,21-22
(15)
Make sure that nobody pays back
wrong for wrong,
but always try to be kind to each
other and to everyone else.
(21-22)
Test everything.
Hold on to the good.
Avoid every kind of evil.
2 THESSALONIANS 1:6-7
God is just:
He will pay back trouble to those who trouble you
and give relief to you who are troubled…
This will happen when the Lord Jesus
is revealed from heaven in blazing fire
with his powerful angels.
2 THESSALONIANS 3:2-3
Pray that we may be delivered from
wicked and evil men,
for not everyone has faith.
But the Lord is faithful,
and he will strengthen and protect
you from the evil one.
2 TIMOTHY 2:19
God’s solid foundation stands firm,
sealed with this inscription:
“The Lord knows those who are his,” and,
“Everyone who confesses the name of the Lord
must turn away from wickedness.”
2 TIMOTHY 4:18
The Lord will rescue me from every evil attack
and will bring me safely to his heavenly kingdom.
To him be glory for ever and ever.
Amen.
TITUS 1:15-16
To the pure, all things are pure,
but to those who are corrupted and
do not believe,
nothing is pure.
In fact, both their minds and
consciences are corrupted.
They claim to know God, but by their
actions they deny him.
They are detestable, disobedient
and unfit for doing anything good.
HEBREWS 4:12-13
For the word of God is living and active.
Sharper than any double-edged sword,
it penetrates even to dividing
soul and spirit, joints and marrow;
it judges the thoughts and attitudes of the heart.
Nothing in all creation
is hidden from God’s sight.
Everything is uncovered and laid bare
before the eyes of him
to whom we must give account.
HEBREWS 9:27
…as man is destined to die once
and after that to face judgment
HEBREWS 10:30
For we know him who said,
“It is mine to avenge; I will repay,”
and again, “The Lord will judge his people.”
HEBREWS 12:13
See to it that no one misses the grace of God
and that no bitter root grows up
to cause trouble and defile many.
JAMES 1:21-22
Get rid of all moral filth and the evil
that is so prevalent
and humbly accept the word planted in you,
which can save you.
Do not merely listen to the word, and
so deceive yourself.
Do what it says.
JAMES 3:6,8
(6)
The tongue is also a fire,
a world of evil among the parts of the body.
It corrupts the whole person,
sets the whole course of his life on fire,
and it itself set on fire by hell.
(8)
No man can tame the tongue.
It is a restless evil, full of deadly poison.
1 PETER 2:1,23
(1)
Rid yourselves of all malice and all deceit,
hypocrisy, envy, and slander of every kind.
(23)
He [Jesus] entrusted himself
to him who judges justly.
1 PETER 3:10-12
“Whoever would love life
and see good days
must keep his tongue from evil
and his lips from
deceitful speech.
He must turn from evil and do good;
he must seek peace
and pursue it.
For the eyes of the Lord are on the righteous
and his ears are
attentive to their prayer,
but the face of the Lord is against
those who do evil.”
(Psalm
34:12-16)
1 PETER 4:5
They will have to give account
to him who is ready to judge
the living and the dead.
1 JOHN 1:6
If we claim to have fellowship with
him yet walk in the darkness,
we lie and do not live by the truth.
1 JOHN 2:21
no lie comes from the truth
1 JOHN 3:20
God is greater than our hearts,
and he knows everything.
1 JOHN 5:3,17
(3)
This is love for God:
to obey his commands.
(17)
All wrongdoing is sin
REVELATION 2:2
I know your deeds
REVELATION 2:23
I am he who searches hearts and minds,
and I will repay each of you according
to your deeds.

Yes, Lord God Almighty,
true and just are your judgments.
REVELATION 19:1-2,11-13
(1-2)
Hallelujah!
Salvation and glory and power belong
to our God,
for true and just
are his judgments.
(11-13)
I saw heaven standing open
and there before me was a white horse,
whose rider is called Faithful and True.
With justice he judges and makes war.
His eyes are like blazing fire,
and on his head are many crowns.
He has a name written on himself that
no one knows but he himself.
He is dressed in a robe dipped in blood,
and his name is the Word of God.
REVELATION 22:12
Behold, I am coming soon!
My reward is with me,
and I will give to everyone
according to what he has done.
I am the Alpha and the Omega,
the First and the Last,
the Beginning and the End.
REVELATION 22:20-21
He who testifies to these things says,
“Yes, I am coming soon.”
Amen. Come, Lord Jesus.
The grace of the Lord Jesus be with God’s people.
