Acts 4:29-35

29And now, Lord, alook upon their threats and grant to your servants ▼
▼Greek bondservants
 to continue to speak your word with all cboldness, 30while dyou stretch out your hand to heal, and signs and wonders are performed ethrough the name of your fholy servant Jesus.” 31And when they had prayed, gthe place in which they were gathered together was shaken, and hthey were all filled with the Holy Spirit and icontinued to speak the word of God with boldness.

They Had Everything in Common

32Now the full number of those who believed were of jone heart and ksoul, and no one said that any of the things that belonged to him was his own, but lthey had everything in common. 33And with great mpower the apostles were giving their testimony to the resurrection of the Lord Jesus, and ngreat grace was upon them all. 34 oThere was not a needy person among them, for pas many as were owners of lands or houses sold them and brought the proceeds of what was sold 35and qlaid it at the apostles’ feet, and rit was distributed to each as any had need.

Romans 12:17-21

17 sRepay no one evil for evil, but tgive thought to do what is honorable in the sight of all. 18If possible, so far as it depends on you, ulive peaceably with all. 19Beloved, vnever avenge yourselves, but leave it ▼
▼Greek give place
 to the wrath of God, for it is written, x“Vengeance is mine, I will repay, says the Lord.” 20To the contrary, y“if your enemy is hungry, feed him; if he is thirsty, give him something to drink; for by so doing you will heap burning coals on his head.” 21Do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good.

Galatians 5:22-24

22But zthe fruit of the Spirit is aalove, joy, peace, patience, abkindness, goodness, faithfulness, 23 acgentleness, adself-control; aeagainst such things there is no law. 24And those who belong to Christ Jesus afhave crucified the flesh with its agpassions and desires.

Philippians 2:14-15

14Do all things ahwithout grumbling or aidisputing, 15that you may be blameless and innocent, ajchildren of God akwithout blemish alin the midst of ama crooked and twisted generation, among whom you shine anas lights in the world,

1 Thessalonians 5:15

15See that aono one repays anyone evil for evil, but always apseek to do good to one another and to everyone.
