Feel free to listen or read along. As I read this passage the first time what words or phrases stands out to you as I read this.

As we read this passage again, what is God using to capture your attention? Begin to ask what is this passage saying? What does it mean?

As we read this passage for the final time, ask what is God stirring inside of you? Consider what response God is inviting you into?

Romans 12:17-21 New International Version (NIV)

17 Do not repay anyone evil for evil. Be careful to do what is right in the eyes of everyone. 18 If it is possible, as far as it depends on you, live at peace with everyone. 19 Do not take revenge, my dear friends, but leave room for God’s wrath, for it is written: “It is mine to avenge; I will repay,” says the Lord. 20 On the contrary:

“If your enemy is hungry, feed him;

In doing this, you will heap burning coals on his head.”

21 Do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good.
