Evil Thing
Evil Thing
( , to kakon, plural in Luk 16:25): An evil thing or evil things may be the thoughts of evil men, their plans or their deeds; or the things men suffer for their own wrongs; or the evils consequent upon the errors of others. In the dark picture of fallen men in Rom 1:30, inventors of evil things appear. The evil man out of his evil treasure bringeth forth evil (poneros) things (Mat 12:35). Men should not lust after evil (kakos) things (1Co 10:6). This fixing the mind upon, with desire, leads to increased wrong. The mouth of the wicked poureth out evil (ra) things (Pro 15:28). The rich man had good things in his life, but did not use them to the glory of God or the good of men. The poor man had evil things: sickness, nakedness, hunger. The scene changes after death (Luk 16:25).
