Christian Conduct: Love, Humility, and Ethical Duties

Romans 12:9-21

12
Chapter 12
9 Let love be without hypocrisy. Abhorring evil, clinging to the good. 10 In brotherly love toward one another, family-affectionate, in honor preferring one another, 11 not slothful in zeal, boiling in the Spirit, serving the Lord, 12 rejoicing in hope, enduring in tribulation, persevering in prayer, 13 to the sharing of the needs of the holy ones, pursuing hospitality. 14 Bless those who persecute you; bless and do not curse. 15 to rejoice with those who rejoice, to weep with those who weep. 16 thinking the same thing toward one another, not thinking the high things but being led along with the lowly. Do not become wise in your own eyes. 17 to no one repaying evil for evil; taking forethought for good things in the sight of all people; 18 if possible, as far as it depends on you, living at peace with all men. 19 Do not avenge yourselves, beloved, but give place to the wrath, for it is written, "Vengeance is mine; I will repay," says the Lord. 20 But if your enemy hungers, feed him; if he thirsts, give him drink; for in doing this you will heap coals of fire upon his head. 21 Do not be overcome by the evil, but overcome the evil with the good.
