Evil

The words translated into the English word evil are numerous.

What is evil?

In John 5:29 Jesus states clearly that "they that have done good, unto the resurrection of life; and they that have done evil, unto the resurrection of damnation."

Jesus also makes it clear that "many" will think they know Jesus but will be sent away because they are workers of iniquity even though they think they are believers and followed of Christ.

The warnings are repeated over and over again that we may think we know the truth, love God, and even love one another but actually we are so deluded that we believe a lie.

It is important that we know what Jesus means by words like evil and iniquity.7

If you do evil according to John 3:20 we hate the light and are not born again.

The words "doeth evil"

if you are workers of iniquity you are rejected by God no matter what you say you believe, This is no different than the context concerning being Born again.

Colossians 3:5 Mortify therefore your members which are upon the earth; fornication, uncleanness, inordinate affection, evil concupiscence, and covetousness, which is idolatry: 6 For which things’ sake the wrath of God cometh on the children of disobedience: 7 In the which ye also walked some time, when ye lived in them.
