Do No Evil
8 Now finally, all of you should be like-minded and sympathetic, should love believers,[a](A) and be compassionate(B) and humble,[b] 9 not paying back evil for evil(C) or insult for insult but, on the contrary, giving a blessing,(D) since you were called for this, so that you can inherit a blessing.

and to see good days
must keep his tongue from evil(F)
and his lips from speaking deceit,(G)
