Romans 12:14-18

14Ask God to bless people who cause trouble for you. Yes, ask him to be kind to them. Do not ask him to do bad things to them.

15If you are with someone who is happy, you should also be happy. If you are with someone who is sad, you should also be sad.

16Always try to agree and to be friends with each other. Do not be proud. Be friends with people who are not important. Do not think that you know everything.

17If someone has done bad things against you, do not do bad things back to them. Try to live in a good way so that people will respect you. They will see that you do good things.

18If it is possible, try always to be friends with other people.
