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. RECOMPENSE TO NO MAN EVIL FOR EVIL. Provide things honest in the sight of all men. If it be possible, as much as lieth in you, LIVE PEACEABLY WITH ALL MEN. Dearly beloved, AVENGE NOT YOURSELVES, but rather give place unto wrath: for it is written, Vengeance is mine; I will repay, saith the Lord. 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. BE NOT OVERCOME OF EVIL, BUT OVERCOME EVIL WITH GOOD. Romans 12:16-21. When thou art in tribulation, AND ALL THESE THINGS are come upon thee, EVEN IN THE LATTER DAYS, if thou turn to the Lord thy God, and shalt be obedient unto his voice; Deuteronomy 4:30. Ye have heard that it hath been said, Thou shalt love thy neighbour, and hate thine enemy. But I say unto you, LOVE YOUR ENEMIES, BLESS them that curse you, DO GOOD to them that hate you, and PRAY FOR THEM which despitefully use you, and persecute you; Matthew 5:43-44. And not only so , but we glory in tribulations also: knowing that TRIBULATION WORKETH PATIENCE; Romans 5:3. I CAN DO ALL THINGS THROUGH CHRIST which strengtheneth me. Philippians 4:13. When you read these verses altogether and understand the concept of what is going on here, this "Command" has got to be one of the hardest, if not THE hardest Command in the Bible FOR CHRISTIANS. This one is so tough, the Lord has provided "a way of escape" if you feel you have reached your absolute Limit and can go on no longer. It is, "If it be possible, as much as lieth in you". This gives no excuse to sin, but does offer a Way out of shame if you stumble in Obeying this Command. "The End Time" WILL be tough, but Christ is Tougher. Do the best you can, as unto the Lord, learn to Obey the Leading of the Holy Spirit, and having done all to stand, STAND, and, Be Blessed.
