decently, as in the daytime, not drunkenness, not in sexual im-

anger, factions, slander, gossip, arrogance and disorder. (2

To Be Peace-Loving

Do not repay anyone evil for evil. Be careful to do what is right
in the eyes of everybody. If it is possible, as far as it depends
on you, live at peace with everyone. (Romans, 12:17-18)

Blessed are the peacemakers!... (Matthew, 5:9)

Make every effort to live in peace with all men and to be holy
without holiness no one will see the Lord. [Referring to devout
believers seeing the manifestation of the Presence of Almighty
God, as a blessing of heaven.] See to it that no one misses the
grace of God... (Hebrews, 12:14-15)

Therefore, if you are offering your gift at the altar and there re-
member that your brother has something against you, leave
your gift there in front of the altar. First go and be reconciled
to your brother; then come and offer your gift. Settle matters
quickly with your adversary who is taking you to court...
(Matthew, 5:23-25)
