Romans 12:12 - Forerunner Commentary

Romans 12:12

10 ^aBe kindly affectionate to one another with brotherly love, ^bin honor giving preference to one another;

11 not lagging in diligence, fervent in spirit, serving the Lord;

12 ^arejoicing in hope, ^bpatient in tribulation, ^ccontinuing steadfastly in prayer;

13 ^adistributing to the needs of the saints, ^bgiven to hospitality.

14 ^aBless those who persecute you; bless and do not curse.

15 ^aRejoice with those who rejoice, and weep with those who weep.

16 ^aBe of the same mind toward one another. ^bDo not set your mind on high things, but associate with the humble. Do not be wise in your own opinion.

17 ^aRepay no one evil for evil. ^bHave regard for good things in the sight of all men.

18 If it is possible, as much as depends on you, ^alive peaceably with all men.

19 Beloved, ^ado not avenge yourselves, but rather give place to wrath; for it is written, ^b“Vengeance is Mine, I will repay,” says the Lord.

20 Therefore
^a“If your enemy is hungry, feed him;
If he is thirsty, give him a drink;
For in so doing you will heap coals of fire on his head.”

21 Do not be overcome by evil, but ^aovercome evil with good.
