Wicked Works

• Character

And you, that were sometime alienated and enemies in your mind by wicked works, yet now hath he reconciled

For he that biddeth him God speed is partaker of his evil deeds.

• Persecution

Not as Cain, who was of that wicked one, and slew his brother. And wherefore slew he him? Because his own works were evil, and his brother's righteous.

The LORD is known by the judgment which he executeth: the wicked is snared in the work of his own hands. Higgaion. Selah.

There is a vanity which is done upon the earth; that there be just men, unto whom it happeneth according to the work of the wicked; again, there be wicked men, to whom it happeneth according to the work of the righteous: I said that this also is vanity.

• Character

For every one that doeth evil hateth the light, neither cometh to the light, lest his deeds should be reproved.

The LORD hath made all things for himself: yea, even the wicked for the day of evil.

And God saw their works, that they turned from their evil way; and God repented of the evil, that he had said that he would do unto them; and he did it not.

• Tested
• Heart

I know thy works, and thy labour, and thy patience, and how thou canst not bear them which are evil: and thou hast tried them which say they are apostles, and are not, and hast found them liars:

Is it good unto thee that thou shouldest oppress, that thou shouldest despise the work of thine hands, and shine upon the counsel of the wicked?

And this is the condemnation, that light is come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil.

I will set no wicked thing before mine eyes: I hate the work of them that turn aside; it shall not cleave to me.

For rulers are not a terror to good works, but to the evil. Wilt thou then not be afraid of the power? do that which is good, and thou shalt have praise of the same:
