Mal

13 All the people who revere Yahweh hate evil.

I, wisdom, hate people who are proud and people who think they are more important than others.

I hate people who behave in an evil way and those who say things to deceive others.

10 Yahweh loves those who hate what people do that is evil;

he protects the lives of his people,

and he rescues them when the wicked people try to harm them.

14 Turn away from doing evil, and do what is good!

Always try hard to enable people to live peacefully with each other.

133 Guide me as you promised/said that you would do and help me not to fall/sin;

do not allow evil people to control what I do.

16 Cleanse your inner beings, and become spiritually clean!

Stop your evil behavior!

Stop doing things that are wrong!

7 Do not be proud of being wise.

Instead, revere Yahweh

and turn away from doing evil.

8 If you do that, your body will be healthy/strong;

it will be like medicine for you.

21 Do not let evil things that others have done to you overcome you (sg) by making you do evil things to them! [PRS] Instead, overcome the evil things that they have done by doing good deeds to them!

In the various ways in which you act toward people, love them sincerely.

9 Love others sincerely! Hate what is evil! Continue to eagerly do what God considers to be good!

Note those who are causing quarrels among you and those who cause people to turn away from God. Avoid them, because they only want to satisfy their own desires and deceive those who do not suspect their motives. If you avoid such people, God will soon crush Satan under your feet.

17 My fellow believers, I exhort you that you beware of those people who are causing divisions among you and who cause people to turn away from God [MTY] because they teach things that are contrary to the message about Christ that you have learned (OR, that others taught you). Keep away from such people!

5 People do not want him to reveal that what they do is evil [MET], just like darkness is evil. But just like darkness cannot put out light [MET], evil people have never prevented the one who was like a light from revealing God’s truth (OR, evil people have never understood the one who was like a light.)

15 Make sure that none of you does evil things to anyone who has done evil to you. On the contrary, you must always try to do good things for each other (OR, to fellow believers) and to everyone else.

21 On the contrary, evaluate all such messages. Accept the messages that are truly from God, and obey them. 22 Do not obey any kind of evil message.

13 Do not let us(exc) do wrong things when we(exc) are tempted {someone or something tempts us}, and rescue us (exc) when Satan the evil one tempts us to do evil things.*"

15 I am asking you, not that you take them out of this world, but instead that you protect them from Satan, the evil one.

7 Yahweh will protect us from being harmed in any manner;

he will keep us safe.

8 He will protect us from the time that we leave our houses in the morning until we return in the evening;

he will protect us now, and he will protect us forever.

18 Therefore, I am sure that the Lord will rescue me from everything that is truly evil and will bring me safely to heaven, where he rules. Praise him forever! ◄Amen!/May it be so!►

11 Just like a soldier puts on all his ◄armor/things to help him fight► [MET], you should use every spiritual resource/help that God provides for you, in order that you may successfully resist the devil when he cleverly tries to oppose you.

12 You must do this because the fighting that we believers do is not only against human beings [SYN]. Instead, we are also fighting against evil spirits who rule and have authority over all that is evil [MET] in the world. And we are fighting against evil spirits who are in heavenly places (OR, everywhere).

26 If you get angry, do not sin as a result of getting angry. Before the end of the day [MTY], stop being angry; 27 by doing that, you will not allow the devil to make you do evil.

20 As for you, yes, you wanted to do something very evil to me. But God caused something good to come from it! He wanted to save many people from dying of hunger, and that is what happened! Today they are alive!

So stop doing all kinds of evil things, and do what God commands in his message, instead of just listening to it. God approves of those who do what he wants them to do.

21 So stop doing all kinds of evil [DOU] things, and humbly obey (OR, submit to) the message that God put in your ◄inner beings/hearts►, because he is able to save you [SYN] if you accept his message.

9 But God will do what he says that he will do, and what he does is always right. So, if we confess to him that we have behaved sinfully, he will forgive us for our sins and ◄will free us from/remove► the guilt of all our sins. Because of that, we should confess to him that we have behaved sinfully.

20 He also said, "It is the thoughts and actions that come from within people that cause God to consider them unacceptable to him. 21 Specifically, it is people’s innermost being that causes them to think things that are evil; they act immorally, they steal things, they commit murder. 22 They commit adultery, they are greedy, they act maliciously, they deceive people. They act indecently, they envy people, they speak evil about others, they are proud, and they act foolishly. 23 People think these thoughts and then they do these evil actions, and that is what causes God to consider them unacceptable to him."

12 When we hate others, it causes quarrels,

but if we love others, we forgive them for the wrong things that they do.

9 "Tell the people that this is what the Commander of the armies of angels says: ‘Do what is just/right, and act kindly and mercifully toward each other. 10 Do not ◄oppress/treat cruelly► widows or orphans or foreigners or poor people. Do not even think about doing evil to anyone else.’ "
