If you were turning your Bibles, Romans chapter 12, Romans chapter 12, beginning with verse 9, down through verse 21, and you'll notice these words.

May you really give an attention to the words of the scripture. Don't just pretend to love others, really love them,

hate what is wrong and hold tightly to what is good. Love each other with genuine affection

and take delight in honoring each other. Never be lazy, but work hard

and serve the Lord enthusiastically. Rejoice in our confident hope. Be patient in trouble.

And keep on praying. When God's people are in need, be ready to help them.

Always be eager to practice hospitality.

Bless those who persecute you.

Don't curse them.

Pray that God will bless them.

Be happy with those who are happy and weep with those who weep live in

harmony with each other don't be too proud to enjoy the company of ordinary

people and don't think you know it all never pay back evil with more evil do things in such a way that everyone can see you are honorable.

Do all that you can to live in peace with everyone. Dear friends, never take revenge. Leave that to the

righteous anger of God. For the scriptures say, I will take revenge.

I will repay them back.

I'll pay them back, says the Lord.

Instead, if your enemies are hungry, feed them.

If they are thirsty, give them something to drink.

In doing this, you will heap burning coals of shame on their heads.

Don't let evil conquer you, but conquer evil by doing good. And I'm talking in this sessions about

the ingredients of love, the ingredients of love.
