Romans 12:14-21 reads: Bless those who persecute you, bless and curse not.
Rejoice with those who rejoice, and weep with those who weep.
Live in harmony with each other. Do not be proud, but be willing to associate with the lowly. Do not be conceited they know.
not repay anyone evil for evil. Try do good in front of everyone.
If possible, and that depends on you, live peaceably with all.
not take revenge, my friends, but leave the punishment in the hands of God, because it is written: "Vengeance is mine, I will repay, saith the Lord.
Rather, "If your enemy is hungry, feed him, if he is thirsty, give him drink. By doing so, you will heap coals on his head."
Do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good.
Every verse we read is a recommendation made Paul to the Romans, but all who are believers know that these recommendations remain in full force today, maybe if we could be tempted to say, no, that does not is for me, that already had its time, well let me tell you that each of these recommendations must be implemented in our lives as Christians, are easy or difficult? Some may cost them more than others, but there is no alternative, if we believe that the Bible is the word of God then we believe even in those passages that may not like us much.
The acting in this way is proof that Christianity is not just a religion is a lifestyle to us to act as God asks, what happens after that is the problem of each, as indicated verse 21, we must not get carried away by evil, by contrast, we overcome evil with good, if not, what is the difference with those who have not received?
