Romans 12:17

Living In Love

¹⁶ Have full sympathy with one another. Do not give your mind to high things, but let humble ways content you. Do not be wise in your own conceits. ¹⁷ Pay back to no man evil for evil. Take thought for what is right and seemly in every one's esteem. ¹⁸ If you can, so far as it depends on you, live at peace with all the world.

What is Good

That Which Is Good

No
