How to Live At Peace with All Men
Romans 12:18
If it be possible, as much as lies in you, live peaceably with all men.


I. WATCH OVER YOURSELF.

1. Do not retaliate.

2. Be honest.

3. Cultivate a peaceable spirit.

II. COMMIT YOURSELF TO GOD.

1. Instead of avenging yourself let Him undertake your cause.

2. Retribution is His prerogative.

3. He will certainly defend the right.

III. CONCILIATE YOUR ENEMIES. By kindness. You will thus achieve a noble conquest over evil in yourself, and subdue enmity by love.

(J. Lyth, D.D.)
