Christian Conduct:
Matthew
5:38-48 NLT (Jesus)
38 “You have heard the law that says the punishment must match
the injury: ‘An eye for an eye, and a tooth for a tooth.’
39 But I say, do not resist an evil person! If someone slaps you
on the right cheek, offer the other cheek also.
40 If you are sued in court and your shirt is taken from you, give
your coat, too.
41 If a soldier demands that you carry his gear for a mile, carry
it two miles.
42 Give to those who ask, and don’t turn away from those who
want to borrow.
43 “You have heard the law that says, ‘Love your neighbor’
and hate your enemy.
44 But I say, love your enemies! Pray for those who persecute you!
45 In that way, you will be acting as true children of your Father
in heaven. For he gives His sunlight to both the evil and the good,
and He sends rain on the just and the unjust alike.
46 If you love only those who love you, what reward is there for
that? Even corrupt tax collectors do that much.
47 If you are kind only to your friends, how are you different
from anyone else? Even pagans do that.
48 But you are to be perfect, even as your Father in heaven is
perfect.
Luke 17:3,4 NLT (Jesus)
3 So watch yourselves! “If another
believer sins, rebuke that person; then if there is repentance,
forgive.
4 Even if that person wrongs you
seven times a day and each time turns again and asks forgiveness, you
must forgive.”
Romans 12:14-21
KJV (Apostle Paul)
14 Bless them which persecute you:
bless, and curse not.
15 Rejoice with them that do
rejoice, and weep with them that weep.
16 Be of the same mind one toward
another. Mind not high things, but condescend to men of low estate.
Be not wise in your own conceits.
17 Recompense to no man evil for
evil. Provide things honest in the sight of all men.
18 If it be possible, as much as
lieth in you, live peaceably with all men.
19 Dearly beloved, avenge not
yourselves, but rather give place unto wrath: for it is written,
Vengeance is Mine; I will repay, saith The Lord.
20 Therefore if thine enemy hunger,
feed him; if he thirst, give him drink: for in so doing thou shalt
heap coals of fire on his head.
21 Be not overcome of evil, but
overcome evil with good.
Romans 14:10-13
KJV (Apostle Paul)
10 But why dost thou judge thy
brother? or why dost thou set at nought thy brother? for we shall all
stand before the judgment seat of Christ.
11 For it is written, As I live,
saith The Lord, every knee shall bow to Me, and every tongue shall
confess to God.
12 So then every one of us shall
give account of himself to God.
13 Let us not therefore judge one
another any more: but judge this rather, that no man put a stumbling
block or an occasion to fall in his brother's way.
Child of God,
receive healing from The Lord.
Luke 4:18 KJV
The Spirit Of The Lord is upon Me,
because He hath anointed Me to preach the gospel to the poor; He hath
sent Me to heal the brokenhearted, to preach deliverance to
the captives, and recovering of sight to the blind, to set at
liberty them that are bruised,
