Being Mean

Be kind and tenderhearted to one another, forgiving each other just as in Christ God forgave you.

A gentle answer turns away wrath, but a harsh word stirs up anger.

Bear with one another and forgive any complaint you may have against someone else. Forgive as the Lord forgave you.

For such men are false apostles, deceitful workers, masquerading as apostles of Christ. …

And whatever you do, in word or deed, do it all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through Him.

Be anxious for nothing, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God.

Of David. Do not fret over those who do evil; do not envy those who do wrong.

For they wither quickly like grass and wilt like tender plants.

He who walks with the wise will become wise, but the companion of fools will be destroyed.

…for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God,

Let us not grow weary in well-doing, for in due time we will reap a harvest if we do not give up.

Therefore, as we have opportunity, let us do good to everyone, and especially to the family of faith.
