Christian Conduct: Love, Humility, and Ethical Duties
Romans 12:9-21
9Let love be genuine, abhorring the evil, clinging to the good.10Be affectionate toward one another in brotherly love, outdoing one another in honor.11In diligence not lazy, in the spirit fervent, serving the Lord.12Rejoicing in hope, enduring in affliction, continuing steadfastly in prayer.13Contributing to the needs of the saints, pursuing hospitality.14Bless those who persecute; bless and do not curse.15Rejoice with those who rejoice; weep with those who weep.16Be of the same mind toward one another, not thinking the high things, but being led along with the lowly, not becoming thoughtful in your own estimation.17Repaying no one evil for evil, taking thought for good things before all people.18If possible, so far as it depends on you, being at peace with all people.19Beloved, never avenge yourselves, but give place to the wrath; for it is written, 'Vengeance is mine; I will repay,' says the Lord.20But if your enemy is hungry, feed him; if he is thirsty, give him drink; for by doing this you will heap coals of fire upon his head.21Do not be conquered by the evil, but conquer the evil with the good.
