...................................................................LET US LEARN TOGETHER WHAT IS GOOD. Job 34:4b(NIV)................................................................Some people see the Bible as a long and boring book filled with incidents and events from the lives of ancient people who probably never existed. The biblical stories are seen as fables. Notably, Romans 15:4 reveals: For whatsoever things were written aforetime were written for our learning, that we through patience and comfort of the scriptures might have hope.(KJV) In this blog, many of the situations and conversations found in the divinely inspired Scriptures of the Holy Bible have been placed in categories that correspond to expressive sayings and phrases. Reference information, background information and links connecting the people and places are given to help you find a place to begin reading the Bible for yourself.

Do the Do's, Don't the Don'ts, and Be the Be's

From a letter written by the apostle Paul
to believers in Rome:


Romans Chapter 12:9-21

9.Let love be without dissimulation. Abhor that which is evil; cleave to that which is good. 


10.Be kindly affectioned one to another with brotherly love; in honour preferring one another;

11.Not slothful in business; fervent in spirit; serving the Lord;


12.Rejoicing in hope; patient in tribulation; continuing instant in prayer; 


13.Distributing to the necessity of saints; given to hospitality.


14.Bless them which persecute you: bless, and curse not.

15.Rejoice with them that do rejoice, and weep with them that weep.

16.Be of the same mind one toward another. Mind not high things, but condescend to men of low estate. Be not wise in your own conceits.

17.Recompense to no man evil for evil. Provide things honest in the sight of all men.


18.If it be possible, as much as lieth in you, live peaceably with all men.


19.Dearly beloved, avenge not yourselves, but rather give place unto wrath: for it is written, Vengeance is mine; I will repay, saith the Lord.

20.Therefore if thine enemy hunger, feed him; if he thirst, give him drink: for in so doing thou shalt heap coals of fire on his head.


21.Be not overcome of evil, but overcome evil with good
