It’s a challenge to get it right with one another—here the apostle describes in considerable detail what that looks like. But we don’t only get it right with our close friends—a deeper key, says Paul, is to let God teach us how to get it right even with those who consider themselves our enemies.
- What historical or contemporary figures can you think of who practiced, in visible, public ways, the principle of overcoming evil with good? How can you apply that principle in the personal relationships you’re involved in every day? Paul quotes Proverbs 25:21-22 as a divine guideline about how to treat “your enemy.”
- How do you grasp the image that says treating the enemy kindly is like “heaping burning coals” on his head? Have you ever tried this approach? What were the results in the relationship? In your inner life?
