Paul's Epistle to the Romans, Relationship to Unbelievers, Romans 12.17-21

Paul's Epistle to the Romans, Relationship to Unbelievers, Romans 12.17-21

FREE BIBLE STUDY!

When we are moved by the mercies of God, and when our minds have been improved so that we can understand His will and His word, all of our relationships become transformed through a process we call sanctification. This chapter of Romans deals with how we should handle those relationships (with believers and nonbelievers).
The most striking feature of this final section of Chapter 12, if we add verse 14 which can be tied to it, is that it contains four resounding imperatives:
1) ‘Do not curse’ (14).
2) ‘Do not repay anyone evil for evil’ (17).
3) ‘Do not take revenge’ (19).
4) ‘Do not be overcome by evil’ (21).
