Romans 12.9-21
Rules for Christian Living

"Be sincere in your love for others. Hate everything that is evil and
hold tight to everything that is good. Love each other as brothers
and sisters and honor others more than you do yourself. Never give
up. Eagerly follow the Holy Spirit and serve the Lord. Let your hope
make you glad. Be patient in time of trouble and never stop praying.
Take care of God's needy people and welcome strangers into your home.
Ask God to bless everyone who mistreats you. Ask him to bless them and
not to curse them. When others are happy, be happy with them, and
when they are sad, be sad. Be friendly with everyone. Don't be proud
and feel that you are smarter than others. Make friends with ordinary
people. Don't mistreat someone who has mistreated you. But try to
earn the respect of others, and do your best to live at peace with
everyone. Dear friends, don't try to get even. Let God take revenge.
In the Scriptures the Lord says, "I am the one to take revenge and pay
them back." The Scriptures also say, "If your enemies are hungry, give
them something to eat. And if they are thirsty, give them something to
drink. This will be the same as piling burning coals on their heads."
Don't let evil defeat you, but defeat evil with good."

God bless you.
