Efesus 4:22

4:22 You were taught with reference to your former way of life to lay aside¹ the old man who is being corrupted in accordance with deceitful desires,

Ayub 24:13-17

24:13 There are those² who rebel against the light;

they do not know its ways

and they do not stay on its paths.

24:14 Before daybreak³ the murderer rises up;

he kills the poor and the needy;

in the night he is⁴ like a thief.⁵

24:15 And the eye of the adulterer watches for the twilight,

thinking,⁶ ‘No eye can see me,’

and covers his face with a mask.

24:16 In the dark the robber⁷ breaks into houses,⁸

but by day they shut themselves in;⁹

they do not know the light.¹⁰

24:17 For all of them,¹¹ the morning is to them

like deep darkness;

they are friends with the terrors of darkness.

Yohanes 3:19-21

3:19 Now this is the basis for judging:¹² that the light has come into the world and people¹³ loved the darkness rather than the light, because their deeds were evil. 3:20 For everyone who does evil deeds hates the light and does not come to the light, so that their deeds will not be exposed. 3:21 But the one who practices the truth comes to the light, so that it may be plainly evident that his deeds have been done in God.¹⁴

Roma 1:22-32

1:22 Although they claimed¹⁵ to be wise, they became fools 1:23 and exchanged the glory of the immortal God for an image resembling mortal human beings¹⁶ or birds or four-footed animals¹⁷ or reptiles.

1:24 Therefore God gave them over¹⁸ in the desires of their hearts to impurity, to dishonor¹⁹ their bodies among themselves.²⁰ 1:25 They²¹ exchanged the truth of God for a lie²² and worshiped and served the creation²³ rather than the Creator, who is blessed forever! Amen.

1:26 For this reason God gave them over to dishonorable passions. For their women exchanged the natural sexual relations for unnatural ones,²⁴ 1:27 and likewise the men also abandoned natural relations with women²⁵ and were inflamed in their passions²⁶ for one another. Men²⁷ committed shameless acts with men and received in themselves the due penalty for their error.

1:28 And just as they did not see fit to acknowledge God,²⁸ God gave them over to a depraved mind, to do what should not be done.²⁹ 1:29 They are filled³⁰ with every kind of unrighteousness, wickedness, covetousness, malice. They are rife with³¹ envy, murder, strife, deceit, hostility. They are gossips, 1:30 slanderers, haters of God, insolent, arrogant, boastful, contrivers of all sorts of evil, disobedient to parents, 1:31 senseless, covenant-breakers,³² heartless, ruthless. 1:32 Although they fully know³³ God’s righteous decree that those who practice such things deserve to die,³⁴ they not only do them but also approve of those who practice them.³⁵

Roma 13:12

13:12 The night has advanced toward dawn; the day is near. So then we must lay aside the works of darkness, and put on the weapons of light.

Roma 13:1

Submission to Civil Government

13:1 Let every person be subject to the governing authorities. For there is no authority except by God’s appointment,³⁶ and the authorities that exist have been instituted by God.

Roma 5:7

5:7 (For rarely will anyone die for a righteous person, though for a good person perhaps someone might possibly dare to die.)³⁷
