Daily Prayer for January 4th, 2019
Good morning, God—thank You! 🙂
If someone does me wrong and shows penitence let me forgive him, and never repay evil for evil. Vengeance is Yours! Help me to give thought to do what is honorable in Your sight, and live peaceably with all. In Jesus name. Amen.
Matthew 18:15-17 English Standard Version (ESV)
If Your Brother Sins Against You
15 “If your brother sins against you, go and tell him his fault, between you and him alone. If he listens to you, you have gained your brother.16 But if he does not listen, take one or two others along with you, that every charge may be established by the evidence of two or three witnesses. 17 If he refuses to listen to them, tell it to the church. And if he refuses to listen even to the church, let him be to you as a Gentile and a tax collector.
Ephesians 4:31-32 English Standard Version (ESV)
31 Let all bitterness and wrath and anger and clamor and slander be put away from you, along with all malice. 32 Be kind to one another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, as God in Christ forgave you.
Luke 17:3 English Standard Version (ESV)
3 Pay attention to yourselves! If your brother sins, rebuke him, and if he repents, forgive him,
Romans 12:17-19 English Standard Version (ESV)
17 Repay no one evil for evil, but give thought to do what is honorable in the sight of all. 18 If possible, so far as it depends on you, live peaceably with all. 19 Beloved, never avenge yourselves, but leave it to the wrath of God, for it is written, “Vengeance is mine, I will repay, says the Lord.”
