Being a Blessing to Others

In the same way, let your light shine before men, that they may see your good deeds and glorify your Father in heaven.

Do nothing out of selfish ambition or empty pride, but in humility consider others more important than yourselves.

Each of you should look not only to your own interests, but also to the interests of others.

Do to others as you would have them do to you.

For we are God’s workmanship, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance as our way of life.

In everything, then, do to others as you would have them do to you. For this is the essence of the Law and the Prophets.

Beloved, do not imitate what is evil, but what is good. The one who does good is of God; the one who does evil has not seen God.

Do not repay evil with evil or insult with insult, but with blessing, because to this you were called so that you may inherit a blessing.

Therefore confess your sins to each other and pray for each other so that you may be healed. The prayer of a righteous man has great power to prevail.

And we know that God works all things together for the good of those who love Him, who are called according to His purpose.

A generous soul will prosper, and he who refreshes others will himself be refreshed.
