Romans 12:17

Living In Love

¹⁶ Keep on thinking in harmony with one another. Stop being high-minded but keep on associating with lowly people. Stop being conceited. ¹⁷ Stop returning evil for evil to anyone. Always see to it that your affairs are right in the sight of everybody. ¹⁸ If possible, so far as it depends on you, live in peace with everybody.
