Servants, be submissive to your masters with all fear, not only to the good and gentle, but also to the harsh.
A perverse heart shall be far from me; I will know no wickedness.
The lips of the righteous know what is acceptable, but the mouth of the wicked what is perverse.
The perverse in heart are an abomination to the Lord, but the blameless in their ways are His delight.
for the perverse is an abomination to the Lord, but His counsel is with the upright.
The fear of the Lord is to hate evil; pride and arrogance and the evil way and perverse speech do I hate.
Now I, Paul, who am lowly in presence among you but bold toward you while absent, appeal to you by the meekness and gentleness of Christ.
But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, gentleness, goodness, faith,
to speak evil of no one, not to be contentious, but gentle, showing all humility toward everyone.
But the wisdom that is from above is first pure, then peaceable, gentle, open to reason, full of mercy and good fruits, without partiality, and without hypocrisy.
