Accept other believers

who are weak in the faith,

and don’t argue with them

about what they think is right or wrong.

Romans 14:1

The Savior—

yes, the Messiah,

the Lord—

has been born today in Bethlehem,

the city of David!

Luke 2:11

…how late it is;

time is running out.

Wake up,

for our salvation is nearer now

than when we first believed.

The night is almost gone;

the day of salvation will soon be here…

Romans 13:11-12

…”Love your neighbor as yourself.”

Romans 13:9

“If your enemies are hungry, feed them.

If they are thirsty, give them something to drink.

In doing this, you will heap

burning coals of shame on their heads.”

Don’t let evil conquer you,

but conquer evil by doing good.

Romans 12:20-21

Never pay back evil with more evil.

Do things in such a way

that everyone can see you are honorable.

Do all that you can

to live in peace with everyone.

Romans 12:17-18

Live in harmony with each other.

Don’t be too proud

to enjoy the company of ordinary people.

And don’t think you know it all!

Romans 12:16

Bless those who persecute you.

Don’t curse them;

pray that God will bless them.

Romans 12:14

…Be patient in trouble,

and keep on praying.

Romans 12:12

(12/17/16 late-blooming wildflower)

Don’t just pretend to love others.

Really love them.

Hate what is wrong.

Hold tightly to what is good.

Love each other with genuine affection,

and take delight in honoring each other.

Romans 12:9-10
