ROMANS CHAPTER 1:22-32
Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools,
And changed the glory of the uncorruptible God into an image made like to corruptible man, and to birds, and fourfooted beasts, and creeping things.
Wherefore God also gave them up to uncleanness through the lusts of their own hearts, to dishonour their own bodies between themselves:
Who changed the truth of God into a lie, and worshipped and served the creature more than the Creator, who is blessed for ever. Amen.
For this cause God gave them up unto vile affections: for even their women did change the natural use into that which is against nature:
And likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust one toward another; men with men working that which is unseemly, and receiving in themselves that recompence of their error which was meet.
And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a reprobate mind, to do those things which are not convenient;
Being filled with all unrighteousness, fornication, wickedness, covetousness, maliciousness; full of envy, murder, debate, deceit, malignity; whisperers,
Backbiters, haters of God, despiteful, proud, boasters, inventors of evil things, disobedient to parents,
Without understanding, covenantbreakers, without natural affection, implacable, unmerciful:
Who knowing the judgment of God, that they which commit such things are worthy of death, not only do the same, but have pleasure in them that do them.

I don't have one from the bible, but I have one that is rather good for this situation. First I don't like the idea that you say evil lives in humans. That is just a way of shunning people, so that you can feel better then them. It is the kinda thing that leads to genocide. Second I don't like you "describing" a person as "EVIL" that is defining value of a person. It is a way of manipulating someone, because they do not want to be "EVIL", so what you call evil is just what leads to your ends. Now my reaction to your "EVIL" is...
"Kreator,
Deceiver,
You are the sinner,
I cast you down from your web of lives." -At the Gates

How about using the example of Abraham, and the trauma he put his son through, without even questioning the voices in his head?
Or the charming father who tried to save two angels by offering the bad guys his virgin daughter to rape?
Or the soldier who fried his daughter after promising to sacrifice the first person who greeted him?
These are all excellent examples of pure, mindless evil.

@Peachmouse: What happens when a *good* person does evil *in accordance* with the wishes of his Lord, as in the examples above?

that's unhappy yet actual. There does not be any evil interior the international with out human beings. some animals kill basically because of fact that's their organic instinct to stay to tell the story or shelter their kinfolk. human beings, on the different hand, could make the wakeful selection to break others for sheer exhilaration.

Isaiah 16:40
An evil person does evil contrary to the expressed wishes of his Lord; this evil comes from him and not the Lord.
