Will you strive to live peaceably with all men?

If our aim is to live peaceably with all men, we should not be overcome by evil, but learn to overcome evil with good. We should bless and not curse those who persecute us, but, have regard for good things. We should be kindly affectionate to one another, with brotherly love. We should serve the Lord with all sincerity, not lagging in diligence, but fervent in spirit, rejoicing in hope, being patient in tribulations and continuing steadfastly in prayer. Praise the Lord!
