In God’s perfect timing, the believers in Rome were prepared for their intense suffering through the great truth of the book of Romans and the other Scriptures they would have been able to read. The words they we consider today are especially appropriate for preparing the Christians in Rome for a time of suffering. You also are to receive the message of these verses as we also likely will face greater hostility for seeking to truly follow Jesus Christ. Last week, I mentioned that a number of scholars from past and present believe the first part of verse 9 to be a summary statement of verses 9-21. Let your love be authentic or this is authentic love. Verses 14-21 should be understood then as part of the continued discussion of what is authentic love. We also see from verse 21 that these verses are a call to not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good. This is a beautiful description of your duty in the face of evil and compromise. Do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good. Let us now give closer attention to Romans 12:14-21 in two parts, vv. 14-16 and vv. 17-21.
