As far
as it is within my power I must strive to be at peace with all
people and be holy in my manner of life. |
Rom 12:18; Rom
14:19; 2Cor 13:11; Eph 4:3; Heb 12:14 |
|
|
I must
be zealous to do good, not growing tired of doing what is right but
always abounding in the work of the Lord. |
1Cor 15:58; 2Thess
3:13; Titus 2:14; Heb 6:11-12 |
|
|
It is
my duty to help others, but any charitable deeds must be in secret
not to gain the praise of men, but rather as Jesus said: “do not let
your left hand know what your right hand is doing”. |
Matt 6:1-4 |
|
|
I must
care for those less fortunate than myself. If somebody asks me for
help or I see somebody in need then it is my duty to give willingly
and cheerfully for God ‘loves a cheerful giver’ and is well pleased
with such sacrifices. |
Matt 5:42; Rom
12:13; 2Cor 9:6-8; Heb 13:16; Jas 1:27 |
|
|
I will
be careful about choosing my friends and about who I will socialise
with because friends may hinder my efforts to follow Christ.

1Cor 5:6-7; 1Cor
15:33 |
