Read Romans 12:9-21
9 Love
must be completely sincere. Hate what is evil, hold on to what is good. 10Love
one another warmly as Christian brothers and sisters, and be eager to show
respect for one another. 11Work hard and do not be lazy. Serve the
Lord with a heart full of devotion. 12Let your hope keep you joyful,
be patient in your troubles, and pray at all times. 13Share your
belongings with your needy fellow-Christians, and open your homes to strangers.
14 Ask
God to bless those who persecute you—yes, ask him to bless, not to curse. 15Be
happy with those who are happy, weep with those who weep. 16Have
the same concern for everyone. Do not be proud, but accept humble duties.r
Do not think of yourselves as wise.
17 If
someone has done you wrong, do not repay him with a wrong. Try to do what
everyone considers to be good. 18Do everything possible on your part
to live in peace with everybody. 19Never take revenge, my
friends, but instead let God’s anger do it. For the scripture says, “I will
take revenge, I will pay back, says the Lord.” 20Instead, as the
scripture says: “If your enemies are hungry, feed them; if they are thirsty,
give them a drink; for by doing this you will make them burn with shame.” 21Do
not let evil defeat you; instead, conquer evil with good.
Think
These verses could be summed
up with 'do not let evil defeat you; instead, conquer evil with good.' (Romans
12:21)
Pray
Read Romans 12:9-21 and pray
that God would help you to live it.
