Do two walk together, unless they have agreed to meet? – Amos 3:3
Go ahead and be angry. You do well to be angry—but don’t use your anger as fuel for revenge. And don’t stay angry. Don’t go to bed angry. – Ephesians 4:26
Be even tempered, content with second place, quick to forgiven an offense. Forgive as quickly and contently as the master forgave you. And regardless of what else you put on, wear love. It’s your basic all-purpose garment. Never be without it. – Colossians 3:13-14.
Agree with each other, love each other, be deep-spirited friends. Don’t push your way to the front; don’t sweet talk your way to the top. Put yourself aside, and help others get ahead. Don’t be obsessed with getting your own advantage. Forget yourself long enough to lend a helping hand. – Philippians 2:2-4
Consider it a sheer gift, friends, when tests and challenges come at you from all sides. You know that under pressure, your faith-life is forced into the open and shows its true colors. So don’t try to get out of anything prematurely. Let it do its work so you become mature and well-developed, not deficient in any way.– James 1:2-4
Don’t hit back; discover beauty in everyone. If you’ve got it in you, get along with everybody. Don’t insist on getting even that’s not for you to do. “I’ll do the judging,” says God. “I’ll take care of it.” Our Scriptures tell us that if you see your enemy hungry go buy that person lunch, or if he’s thirsty get him a drink. Your generosity will surprise him with goodness. Don’t let evil get the best of you, get the best of evil by doing good. – Romans 12:17-21
