To: Leaning Right

Sometimes it is hard to do what is right when you feel angry and passionate about something. I have been trying to remind myself of the following:

Romans 12:9-13

Abhor what is evil; cling to what is good. Be devoted to one another in brotherly love;give preference to one another in honor; not lagging behind in diligence, fervent in spirit, serving the Lord; rejoicing in hope, persevering in tribulation, devoted to prayer, contributing to the needs of the saints, practicing hospitality.

Bless those who persecute you; bless and do not curse. Rejoice with those who rejoice, and weep with those who weep.Be of the same mind toward one another; do not be haughty in mind, but associate with the lowly.
Do not be wise in your own estimation. 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.

Thank you for the most needed Scripture reference.
