'Evil' in the Bible
Let no man say when he is tempted, I am tempted of God: for God cannot be tempted with evil, neither tempteth he any man:
But each person is tempted when he is drawn away and enticed by his own evil desires.
Then when the illicit desire has conceived, it gives birth to sin; and when sin has run its course, it gives birth to death.
Therefore, ridding yourselves of all moral filth and evil, humbly receive the implanted word, which is able to save you.
The religion which is holy and free from evil in the eyes of our God and Father is this: to take care of children who have no fathers and of widows who are in trouble, and to keep oneself untouched by the world.

The tongue is a fire, a world of evil. Placed among the parts of our bodies, the tongue contaminates the whole body and sets on fire the course of life, and is itself set on fire by hell.
But the tongue can no man tame; it is an unruly evil, full of deadly poison.

But He gives us more and more grace [through the power of the Holy Spirit to defy sin and live an obedient life that reflects both our faith and our gratitude for our salvation]. Therefore, it says, “God is opposed to the proud and haughty, but [continually] gives [the gift of] grace to the humble [who turn away from self-righteousness].”
For this cause be ruled by God; but make war on the Evil One and he will be put to flight before you.
Speak not evil one of another, brethren. He that speaketh evil of his brother, and judgeth his brother, speaketh evil of the law, and judgeth the law: but if thou judge the law, thou art not a doer of the law, but a judge.
But now ye rejoice in your boastings: all such rejoicing is evil.
An example take ye of the suffering of evil, my brethren, and of the patience, the prophets who did speak in the name of the Lord;
Doth any one suffer evil among you? let him pray; is any of good cheer? let him sing psalms;
let the [latter] one know that the one who has turned a sinner from the error of his way will save that one’s soul from death and cover a multitude of sins [that is, obtain the pardon of the many sins committed by the one who has been restored].
