³⁷ But let your speech be, Yea, yea; Nay, nay: and whatsoever is more than these is of the evil `one'.

¹² But above all things, my brethren, swear not, neither by the heaven, nor by the earth, nor by any other oath: but let your yea be yea, and your nay, nay; that ye fall not under judgment.

¹⁹ When any one heareth the word of the kingdom, and understandeth it not, `then' cometh the evil `one', and snatcheth away that which hath been sown in his heart. This is he that was sown by the way side.

⁶ Let your speech be always with grace, seasoned with salt, that ye may know how ye ought to answer each one.

⁹ lie not one to another; seeing that ye have put off the old man with his doings,

¹⁷ When I therefore was thus minded, did I show fickleness? or the things that I purpose, do I purpose according to the flesh, that with me there should be the yea yea and the nay nay?

¹⁸ But as God is faithful, our word toward you is not yea and nay.

¹⁹ For the Son of God, Jesus Christ, who was preached among you by us, `even' by me and Silvanus and Timothy, was not yea and nay, but in him is yea.

²⁰ For how many soever be the promises of God, in him is the yea: wherefore also through him is the Amen, unto the glory of God through us.

³⁸ and the field is the world; and the good seed, these are the sons of the kingdom; and the tares are the sons of the evil `one';

³ But the Lord is faithful, who shall establish you, and guard you from the evil `one'.

¹³ I write unto you, fathers, because ye know him who is from the beginning. I write unto you, young men, because ye have overcome the evil one. I have written unto you, little children, because ye know the Father.

²⁵ Wherefore, putting away falsehood, speak ye truth each one with his neighbor: for we are members one of another.

¹⁵ I pray not that thou shouldest take them from the world, but that thou shouldest keep them from the evil `one'.

⁴⁴ Ye are of `your' father the devil, and the lusts of your father it is your will to do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and standeth not in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: for he is a liar, and the father thereof.

¹⁹ For out of the heart come forth evil thoughts, murders, adulteries, fornications, thefts, false witness, railings:

¹³ And bring us not into temptation, but deliver us from the evil `one.'

¹² not as Cain was of the evil one, and slew his brother. And wherefore slew he him? Because his works were evil, and his brother's righteous.
