The Bible is a wonderful tool for spiritual growth, but some passages really shouldn't be taken out of context because it distorts their meaning. For example, look at how the meaning of first John 1:6 changes when it is followed with first John 1:7, RSV
6. If we say we have fellowship with him while we walk in darkness, we lie and do not live according to the truth; 7. but if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus his Son cleanses us from all sin

Rejoice in your hope, be patient in tribulation, be constant in prayer. 13. Contribute to the needs of the saints, practice hospitality. 14. Bless those who persecute you; bless and do not curse them. 15. Rejoice with those who rejoice, weep with those who weep. 16. Live in harmony with one another; do not be haughty, but associate with the lowly; never be conceited. 17. Repay no one evil for evil, but take thought for what is noble in the sight of all.
Romans 12:12-17

Those who oppress the poor insult their Maker,
but those who are kind to the needy honour him.
The wicked are overthrown by their evildoing,
but the righteous find a refuge in their integrity.*
Wisdom is at home in the mind of one who has understanding,
but it is not* known in the heart of fools.

proverbs 14:31-33

And shed innocent blood, even the blood of their sons and of their daughters, whom they sacrificed unto the idols of Canaan: and the land was polluted with blood.
