The secret things belong to the\xa0Lord\xa0our God, but the things that are revealed belong to us and to our children forever, that we may do all the words of this law. Deuteronomy 29:29\xa0(ESV)

I appeal to you therefore, brothers,\xa0by the mercies of God,\xa0to present your bodies\xa0as a living sacrifice, holy and acceptable to God, which is your spiritual worship. 2\xa0Do not be conformed to this world,\xa0but be transformed by\xa0the renewal of your mind, that by testing you may\xa0discern what is the will of God, what is good and acceptable and perfect. 3\xa0For\xa0by the grace given to me I say to everyone among you\xa0not to think of himself more highly than he ought to think, but to think with sober judgment,\xa0each according to\xa0the measure of faith that God has assigned. 5\xa0so we,\xa0though many,\xa0are one body in Christ, and individually\xa0members one of another.\xa06\xa0Having gifts that differ according to the grace given to us, let us use them: if\xa0prophecy,\xa0in proportion to our faith\u2026\xa0Romans 12:1-6 (ESV)

8\xa0If possible, so far as it depends on you,\xa0live peaceably with all.\xa0Romans 12:8 (ESV)

19\xa0Beloved,\xa0never avenge yourselves, but leave it\xa0to the wrath of God, for it is written,\xa0\u201cVengeance is mine, I will repay, says the Lord.\u201d\xa020\xa0To the contrary,\xa0\u201cif your enemy is hungry, feed him; if he is thirsty, give him something to drink; for by so doing you will heap burning coals on his head.\u201d\xa021\xa0Do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good.
