Romans 12:17

Living In Love

¹⁶ Be alike affected to each other: not aiming at high things, but accommodating yourselves to persons of low rank. Be not wise in your own conceit. ¹⁷ Render to no one evil for evil: behaving honorably in the sight of all men. ¹⁸ If it be possible, as much as ye can, live peaceably with all men.
