If yesterday’s list was delivered in Staccato style (short and sharp), then today’s, from Romans 12.14-21 is more Legato – longer phrases linked together. No matter the delivery, all describe how Christian are to act.
- Bless those who persecute you, bless and do not curse them
- Rejoice with those who rejoice, weep with those who weep
- Live in harmony with one another
- Do not be haughty, but associate with the lowly
- Never be wise in your own sight
- Repay no one evil for evil, but give thought to what is honorable in the sight of all
- If possible, as far as it depends on you, live peaceably with all
- Never avenge yourselves, but leave it to the wrath of God
- If your enemy is hungry, feed him; if he is thirsty, give him something to drink
- Do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good
Four days, four lists, lots to think about from Romans 12.
