Romans 12:16-18
J.B. Phillips New Testament
16 Live in harmony with each other. Don’t become snobbish but take a real interest in ordinary people. Don’t become set in your own opinions.
17 Don’t pay back a bad turn by a bad turn, to anyone. Don’t say “it doesn’t matter what people think”, but see that your public behaviour is above criticism.
18 As far as your responsibility goes, live at peace with everyone.
