Today's Thought

 Today's Thought:

Repay no one evil for evil, but give thought to do what is honorable in the sight of all. Keep your conduct among the [unbelievers] honorable, so that when they speak against you as evildoers, they may see your good deeds and glorify God on the day of visitation. Only let your manner of life be worthy of the gospel of Christ... Finally, then, brothers, we ask and urge you in the Lord Jesus, that as you received from us how you ought to walk and to please God, just as you are doing, that you do so more and more. For you know how, like a father with his children, we exhorted each one of you and encouraged you and charged you to walk in a manner worthy of God, who calls you into his own kingdom and glory. For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand, that we should walk in them. And let us not grow weary of doing good, for in due season we will reap, if we do not give up. So then, as we have opportunity, let us do good to everyone, and especially to those who are of the household of faith. (Rom 12:17; 1Pet 2:12; Php 1:27a; 1Thes 4;1, 2:11-12; Eph 2:10; Gal 6:9-10)
