Romans 12:17

Living In Love

¹⁶ Be in harmony with one another. Do not have a high opinion of yourselves, but be in agreement with common people. Do not give yourselves an air of wisdom. ¹⁷ Do not give evil for evil to any man. Let all your business be well ordered in the eyes of all men. ¹⁸ As far as it is possible for you be at peace with all men.
