Romans 12:9-21

Behave Like a Christian

9 (2 Cor. 6:6; 1 Tim. 1:5) Let love be without hypocrisy. (Ps. 34:14) Abhor what is evil. Cling to what is good. 

10 (John 13:34; 1 Thess. 4:9; Heb. 13:1; 2 Pet. 1:7) Be kindly affectionate to one another with brotherly love, (Rom. 13:7; Phil. 2:3; [1 Pet. 2:17] in honor giving preference to one another; 

11 not lagging in diligence, fervent in spirit, serving the Lord; 

12 (Luke 10:20) rejoicing in hope, (Luke 21:19) patient (persevering) in tribulation, (Luke 18:1) continuing steadfastly in prayer; 

13 (1 Cor. 16:1; Heb. 13:16; 1 Pet. 4:9) distributing to the needs of the saints, (Matt. 25:35; 1 Tim. 3:2) given (Lit. pursuing) to hospitality.

14 Bless those who persecute you; bless and do not curse. [Matt. 5:44]; Luke 6:28; 1 Cor. 4:12)  15 [1 Cor. 12:26] Rejoice with those who rejoice and weep with those who weep. 

16 (Rom. 15:5; 2 Cor. 13:11; [Phil. 2:2; 4:2]; 1 Pet. 3:8) Be of the same mind toward one another. (Jer. 45:5) Do not set your mind on high things, but associate with the humble. Do not be wise in your own opinion.

17 [Matt. 5:39]; 1 Pet. 3:9) Repay no one evil for evil. (2 Cor. 8:21) Have (Or Provide good) regard for good things in the sight of all men. 

18 If it is possible, as much as depends on you, (Heb. 12:14) live peaceably with all men. 

19 Beloved, (Lev. 19:18) do not avenge yourselves, but rather give place to wrath; for it is written, (Deut. 32:35; Ps. 94:1; 1 Thess. 4:6; Heb. 10:30) “Vengeance is Mine, I will repay,” says the Lord. 

20 Therefore

(2 Kin. 6:22; Prov. 25:21, 22; [Matt. 5:44]; Luke 6:27) “If your enemy is hungry, feed him;

If he is thirsty, give him a drink;

For in so doing you will heap coals of fire on his head.”

21 Do not be overcome by evil, but [Rom. 12:1], 2] overcome evil with good.

Furnishings of the Tabernacle . ‎The book of Exodus details the construction of the tabernacle and its furnishings. As Yahweh’s sanctuary, the tabernacle served as God’s dwelling place among the Israelites—the expression of the covenant between Yahweh and His people ( Exod 25:8–9 ).

A Threshing Floor

Image
A Threshing Floor In the ancient world, farmers used threshing floors to separate grain from its inedible husk (chaff) by beating it with a flail or walking animals on it—sometimes while towing a threshing sledge. Sledges were fitted with flint teeth to dehusk the grain more quickly. Other workers would turn the grain over so that it would be evenly threshed by the sledge.

Modern Mount Calvary

Modern Mount Calvary ‎Great authorities are marshaled in favor of both claimants—the church within and the mound without the walls. For a long time, the Church of the Holy Sepulchre was the only traditional spot pointed out as the place of burial. But with the growing influence of the Grotto of Jeremiah, the modern Mount Calvary, a picture of which we give, increased in favor. This whole discussion as to the place where Christ was crucified, and as to the tomb in which His body was placed, turns upon the direction which the walls about Jerusalem took at the time of the crucifixion. If the Church of the Holy Sepulchre was outside the wall at that time, as Dean Stanley thinks it might have been, the chances in favor of its being the place of crucifixion and burial are increased. If, however, the site of this church was inside the wall at that time it is sure that the place of burial and crucifixion was not there, for Christ was crucified outside of the walls of Jerusalem. And ...
