Romans 12:9-21
\nLove in God<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n

Today, 04\/06\/2023, let us, together in the grace of God, rejoice and reflect on the Word of God in Romans 12:9-21.<\/span><\/p>\n

9 Let love be without dissimulation, in horror fleeing from evil, cleaving to the good, <\/i><\/span><\/p>\n

10 in brotherly love to one another, loving fervently, having gone before one another in honor; <\/i><\/span><\/p>\n

11 in diligence, not slothful, fervent in spirit, serving the Lord; <\/i><\/span><\/p>\n

12 in hope, rejoicing; in affliction, enduring; in prayer, steadfastly continuing; <\/i><\/span><\/p>\n

13 imparting to the needs of the saints, pursuing hospitality. <\/i><\/span><\/p>\n

14 Bless those persecuting you; bless, and do not curse. <\/i><\/span><\/p>\n

15 Rejoice with rejoicing ones, and weep with weeping ones; <\/i><\/span><\/p>\n

16 minding the same thing toward one another, not minding high things, but yielding to the lowly. Do not become wise within yourselves; <\/i><\/span><\/p>\n

17 returning evil for evil to no one; providing right things before all men. Prov. 3:4 <\/i><\/span><\/p>\n

18 If possible, from you being in peace with all men; <\/i><\/span><\/p>\n

19 not avenging yourselves, beloved, but giving place to wrath, for it has been written, “Vengeance is Mine,” “I will repay,” says the Lord. Deut. 32:35 <\/i><\/span><\/p>\n

20 Then “if one hostile to you hungers, feed him; if he thirsts, give him drink; for doing this you will heap coals of fire on his head.” Prov. 25:21, 22 <\/i><\/span><\/p>\n

21 Do not be overcome by evil, but overcome the evil with good.<\/i><\/span><\/p>\n
