Let me have you turn to Romans. 12, for our time of study in God's word, this morning. We're in a section of Romans 12 where Paul is teaching us how to Overcome evil with good. And so if you want to give a title to the message, it would be Overcoming Evil with Good Part 2.
Last week we looked at verses 17 and 18, and today we'll be looking at verse 19. Paul is giving us a strategy here on how to respond when wrongs are done against us. Let me begin reading in verse 17, and we'll reread through this section. Of Romans 12.
Paul says, never pay back evil for evil to anyone. Respect what is right in the sight of all men. If possible, so far as it depends on you, be at peace with all men. Never take your own revenge, beloved, but leave room for the wrath of God.
For it is written, Vengeance is mine. I will repay, says the Lord. But if your enemy is hungry, You feed him. And if he is thirsty, you give him a drink....
