Romans 12:16-18

J.B. Phillips New Testament

¹⁶ Live in harmony with each other. Don’t become snobbish but take a real interest in ordinary people. Don’t become set in your own opinions.

¹⁷ Don’t pay back a bad turn by a bad turn, to anyone. Don’t say “it doesn’t matter what people think”, but see that your public behaviour is above criticism.

¹⁸ As far as your responsibility goes, live at peace with everyone.
