Bible Verses About Good and Evil

I was once alive outside the framework of Torah. But when the commandment really encountered me, sin sprang to life,

and I died. The commandment that was intended to bring me life was found to be bringing me death!

For sin, seizing the opportunity afforded by the commandment, deceived me; and through the commandment, sin killed me.

So the Torah is holy; that is, the commandment is holy, just and good.

Then did something good become for me the source of death? Heaven forbid! Rather, it was sin working death in me through something good, so that sin might be clearly exposed as sin, so that sin through the commandment might come to be experienced as sinful beyond measure.

For we know that the Torah is of the Spirit; but as for me, I am bound to the old nature, sold to sin as a slave.

I don’t understand my own behavior — I don’t do what I want to do; instead, I do the very thing I hate!

Now if I am doing what I don’t want to do, I am agreeing that the Torah is good.

But now it is no longer “the real me” doing it, but the sin housed inside me.

For I know that there is nothing good housed inside me — that is, inside my old nature. I can want what is good, but I can’t do it!

For I don’t do the good I want; instead, the evil that I don’t want is what I do!

But if I am doing what “the real me” doesn’t want, it is no longer “the real me” doing it but the sin housed inside me.

So I find it to be the rule, a kind of perverse “torah,” that although I want to do what is good, evil is right there with me!

For in my inner self I completely agree with God’s Torah;

but in my various parts, I see a different “torah,” one that battles with the Torah in my mind and makes me a prisoner of sin’s “torah,” which is operating in my various parts.

What a miserable creature I am! Who will rescue me from this body bound for death?

Thanks be to God [, he will]! — through Yeshua the Messiah, our Lord! To sum up: with my mind, I am a slave of God’s Torah; but with my old nature, I am a slave of sin’s “Torah.”

And I saw three unclean spirits that looked like frogs; they came from the mouth of the dragon, from the mouth of the beast and from the mouth of the false prophet.

They are miracle-working demonic spirits which go out to the kings of the whole inhabited world to assemble them for the War of the Great Day of Adonai-Tzva’ot.

And they gathered the kings to the place which in Hebrew is called Har Megiddo.

The seventh one poured out his bowl on the air, and a loud voice came out of the Temple from the throne, saying, “It is done!”
