Suffering for Doing Right

Finally, all of you should ·be in agreement [be like-minded; live in harmony], ·understanding each other [sympathetic], ·loving each other as family [L showing brotherly love], being ·kind [tender; compassionate] and humble. Do not ·do wrong to repay a wrong, and do not insult to repay an insult [L repay evil for evil or insult for insult]. But repay with a blessing, because you yourselves were called [C by God] to do this so that you might ·receive [L inherit] a blessing [Luke 6:27–28]. 10 ·The Scripture says [L For],

“·A person must do these things [L The one who wants]
    to ·enjoy [L love] life and have many happy days.
He must ·not say evil things [L keep his tongue from evil],
    and he must ·not tell lies [L keep his lips from speaking lies].
11 He must ·stop doing [turn away from] evil and do good.
    He must ·look for [seek] peace and ·work for [L pursue] it.
12 ·The Lord sees the good people [L The eyes of the Lord are on the righteous]
    and ·listens to [L his ears on] their prayers.
But the [L face of the] Lord is against
    those who do evil [Ps. 34:12–16; compare Rom. 12:9–17].”
