    1. Do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good

      This script means that people can overcome evil with good but some people like to embrace evil instead and eventually the good do become what they despise and the evil one day might try to redeem them selves.

  2. Woe to those who call evil good and good evil, who put darkness for light and light for darkness, who put bitter for sweet and sweet for bitter!

    3. let no one say when he is tempted, “I am being tempted by God,” for God cannot be tempted with evil, and he himself tempts no one. But each person is tempted when he is lured and enticed by his own desire. Then desire when it has conceived gives birth to sin, and sin when it is fully grown brings forth death.

      This is telling us that why sometimes we are getting tempted but we should always go with our first decisions and not get swept into the evil side and never do the opposite to what we think is right

  6. Do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good.
    This sentence means don’t let evil overcome you by ruining your life and you should overcome evil by ignoring with what you face with. So when someone or something evil gets in your way you should either ignore the problem or think of any other strategies to deal with it.
    Do not swerve to the right or to the left; turn your foot away from evil.
    This sentence explains that you should not try and dodge evilness and let it pass because it will come back and get you, you should always deal with it straight away before it gets worse.
    Turn away from evil and do good; so shall you dwell forever.
    This sentence explains you should never head towards evil at all and you will dwell forever. Which means you should head towards goodness and you will do well in life.
    Woe to those who call evil good and good evil, who put darkness for light and light for darkness, who put bitter for sweet and sweet for bitter!
    This means that people in the world do bad things like evil things and other people try to help the people in the world by making their life better and much more.

  7. Romans 12:21
    Do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good.
    What this description means in my opinion is to not be influence of be absorbed by the evil that goes and that is happen in the world today. That not letting ourselves make the wrong, bad decisions and not letting ourselves do the wrong bad things of action. What it means “but overcome evil with good” is that when we come across evil with should over consume it with good, really try and to control ourselves when the evil is upon us in our everyday lives.

    Proverbs 3:7
    Be not wise in your own eyes; fear the Lord, and turn away from evil.
    What this description means is not to be the bigger guy, not showing off to others and ourselves. That we can handle evil that comes around in our everyday lives by the decisions we make and of your actions, and that we can also handle the consequence of making the wrong choices. We should respect the Lord and of his teachings and not let ourselves be in the wrong path in our everyday lives- evil.

    1 Corinthians 15:33
    Do not be deceived: “Bad company ruins good morals.”
    What this description means is not to be deceived, tricked and manipulated by the evil that is around us where ever we are. Evil can be mostly from other people that don’t do well in their lives and they are just where ever they are causing trouble and mischief to other people. To not get consume by the evil around us, to not let the evil over take us and change who we are to change our; morals/ our principles, our ideas of things, how we see life, by the choices we make and of our action towards others and ourselves.

    Psalm 37:27
    Turn away from evil and do good; so shall you dwell forever.
    What this description means is to turn away from anything that comes across evil. To not let the evil control us when it crosses our path just to turn it around of good when the situations happens to us and that we will have a bright future if we follow on wards the right good path.
