Romans 12:17

Living In Love

¹⁶ Be of like affection one towards another. Be not high minded, but make yourselves equal to them of the lower sort. Be not wise in your own opinions. ¹⁷ Recompense to no man evil for evil. Provide aforehand things honest in the sight of all men. ¹⁸ If it be possible, howbeit of your part, have peace with all men.

That Which Is Good

No
