סוּר מֵרָע וַעֲשֵׂה-טוֹב בַּקֵּשׁ שָׁלוֹם וְרָדְפֵֽהוּ׃
14
Depart from evil, and do good; seek peace, and pursue it.

1 Peter 4:8

πρὸ πάντων δὲ τὴν εἰς ἑαυτοὺς ἀγάπην ἐκτενῆ ἔχοντες ὅτι ἀγάπη καλύψει πλῆθος ἁμαρτιῶν
8
And above all things have fervent charity among yourselves: for charity shall cover the multitude of sins.

1 Timothy 1:5

τὸ δὲ τέλος τῆς παραγγελίας ἐστὶν ἀγάπη ἐκ καθαρᾶς καρδίας καὶ συνειδήσεως ἀγαθῆς καὶ πίστεως ἀνυποκρίτου
5
Now the end of the commandment is charity out of a pure heart, and of a good conscience, and of faith unfeigned:

1 John 3:18

Τεκνία μου μὴ ἀγαπῶμεν λόγῳ μηδὲ γλώσσῃ ἀλλ' ἔργῳ καὶ ἀληθείᾳ
18
My little children, let us not love in word, neither in tongue; but in deed and in truth.

1 Peter 3:10

γὰρ θέλων ζωὴν ἀγαπᾶν καὶ ἰδεῖν ἡμέρας ἀγαθὰς παυσάτω τὴν γλῶσσαν αὐτοῦ ἀπὸ κακοῦ καὶ χείλη αὐτοῦ τοῦ μὴ λαλῆσαι δόλον
10
For he that will love life, and see good days, let him refrain his tongue from evil, and his lips that they speak no guile:

1 Thessalonians 5:21

πάντα δοκιμάζετε τὸ καλὸν κατέχετε
21
Prove all things; hold fast that which is good.

Psalms 101:3

לֹֽא-אָשִׁית׀ לְנֶגֶד עֵינַי דְּֽבַר-בְּלִיָּעַל עֲשֹֽׂה-סֵטִים שָׂנֵאתִי לֹא יִדְבַּק בִּֽי׃
3
I will set no wicked thing before mine eyes: I hate the work of them that turn aside; it shall not cleave to me.

1 Peter 1:22

Τὰς ψυχὰς ὑμῶν ἡγνικότες ἐν τῇ ὑπακοῇ τῆς ἀληθείας διὰ Πνεύματος εἰς φιλαδελφίαν ἀνυπόκριτον ἐκ καθαρᾶς καρδίας ἀλλήλους ἀγαπήσατε ἐκτενῶς
22
Seeing ye have purified your souls in obeying the truth through the Spirit unto unfeigned love of the brethren, see that ye love one another with a pure heart fervently:

Hebrews 12:14

Εἰρήνην διώκετε μετὰ πάντων καὶ τὸν ἁγιασμόν οὗ χωρὶς οὐδεὶς ὄψεται τὸν κύριον
14
Follow peace with all men, and holiness, without which no man shall see the Lord:

Amos 5:15

שִׂנְאוּ-רָע וְאֶהֱבוּ טוֹב וְהַצִּיגוּ בַשַּׁעַר מִשְׁפָּט אוּלַי יֶֽחֱנַן יְהוָה אֱלֹהֵֽי-צְבָאוֹת שְׁאֵרִית יוֹסֵֽף׃
15
Hate the evil, and love the good, and establish judgment in the gate: it may be that the LORD God of hosts will be gracious unto the remnant of Joseph.

Psalms 97:10

אֹהֲבֵי יְהוָה שִׂנְאוּ רָע שֹׁמֵר נַפְשׁוֹת חֲסִידָיו מִיַּד רְשָׁעִים יַצִּילֵֽם׃

Ye that love the LORD, hate evil: he preserveth the souls of his saints; he delivereth them out of the hand of the wicked.

Οὐ κατ' ἐπιταγὴν λέγω ἀλλὰ διὰ τῆς ἑτέρων σπουδῆς καὶ τὸ τῆς ὑμετέρας ἀγάπης γνήσιον δοκιμάζων·
8

2 Corinthians 6:6

ἐν ἁγνότητι ἐν γνώσει ἐν μακροθυμίᾳ ἐν χρηστότητι ἐν πνεύματι ἁγίῳ ἐν ἀγάπῃ ἀνυποκρίτῳ
6
By pureness, by knowledge, by longsuffering, by kindness, by the Holy Ghost, by love unfeigned,

Proverbs 8:13

יִֽרְאַת יְהוָה שְֽׂנֹאת רָע גֵּאָה וְגָאוֹן׀ וְדֶרֶךְ רָע וּפִי תַהְפֻּכוֹת שָׂנֵֽאתִי׃
13
The fear of the LORD is to hate evil: pride, and arrogancy, and the evil way, and the froward mouth, do I hate.

1 Thessalonians 5:15

ὁρᾶτε μή τις κακὸν ἀντὶ κακοῦ τινι ἀποδῷ ἀλλὰ πάντοτε τὸ ἀγαθὸν διώκετε καὶ εἰς ἀλλήλους καὶ εἰς πάντας
15
See that none render evil for evil unto any man; but ever follow that which is good, both among yourselves, and to all men.

Hebrews 1:9

ἠγάπησας δικαιοσύνην καὶ ἐμίσησας ἀνομίαν· διὰ τοῦτο ἔχρισέν σε θεός θεός σου ἔλαιον ἀγαλλιάσεως παρὰ τοὺς μετόχους σου
9

וְיָבוֹאוּ אֵלֶיךָ כִּמְבוֹא-עָם וְיֵשְׁבוּ לְפָנֶיךָ עַמִּי וְשָֽׁמְעוּ אֶת-דְּבָרֶיךָ וְאוֹתָם לֹא יַֽעֲשׂוּ כִּֽי-עֲגָבִים בְּפִיהֶם הֵמָּה עֹשִׂים אַחֲרֵי בִצְעָם לִבָּם הֹלֵֽךְ׃
31
And they come unto thee as the people cometh, and they sit before thee as my people, and they hear thy words, but they will not do them: for with their mouth they shew much love, but their heart goeth after their covetousness.

Proverbs 26:25

כִּֽי-יְחַנֵּן קוֹלוֹ אַל-תַּֽאֲמֶן-בּוֹ כִּי שֶׁבַע תּוֹעֵבוֹת בְּלִבּֽוֹ׃

When he speaketh fair, believe him not: for there are seven abominations in his heart.
