Ephesians 1:3-10 (NKJV)

3 Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly places in Christ,
4 just as He chose us in Him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and without blame before Him in love,
5 having predestined us to adoption as sons by Jesus Christ to Himself, according to the good pleasure of His will,
6 to the praise of the glory of His grace, by which He made us accepted in the Beloved.
7 In Him we have redemption through His blood, the forgiveness of sins, according to the riches of His grace
8 which He made to abound toward us in all wisdom and prudence,
9 having made known to us the mystery of His will, according to His good pleasure which He purposed in Himself,
10 that in the dispensation of the fullness of the times He might gather together in one all things in Christ, both which are in heaven and which are on earth—in Him.

Proverbios 18:19-24 (NVI)

19 Más resiste el hermano ofendido que una ciudad amurallada; los litigios son como cerrojos de ciudadela.
20 Cada uno se llena con lo que dice y se sacia con lo que habla.
21 En la lengua hay poder de vida y muerte; quienes la aman comerán de su fruto.
22 Quien halla esposa halla la felicidad: muestras de su favor le ha dado el Señor.
23 El pobre habla en tono suplicante; el rico responde con aspereza.
24 Hay amigos que llevan a la ruina, y hay amigos más fieles que un hermano.

Proverbs 18:19-24 (NKJV)

19 A brother offended is harder to win than a strong city, And contentions are like the bars of a castle.
20 A man’s stomach shall be satisfied from the fruit of his mouth; From the produce of his lips he shall be filled.
21 Death and life are in the power of the tongue, And those who love it will eat its fruit.
22 He who finds a wife finds a good thing, And obtains favor from the Lord.
23 The poor man uses entreaties, But the rich answers roughly.
24 A man who has friends must himself be friendly, But there is a friend who sticks closer than a brother.

Romanos 12:14-21 (NVI)

14 Bendecid a quienes os persigan; bendecid y no maldigáis.
15 Alegraos con los que están alegres; llorad con los que lloran.
16 Vivid en armonía los unos con los otros. No seáis arrogantes, sino haceos solidarios con los humildes. No os creáis que sois los únicos que sabéis.
17 No paguéis a nadie mal por mal. Procurad hacer lo bueno delante de todos.
18 Si es posible, y en cuanto dependa de vosotros, vivid en paz con todos.
19 No os venguéis, hermanos míos, sino dejad el castigo en las manos de Dios, porque está escrito: «Mía es la venganza; yo pagaré», dice el Señor.
20 Antes bien, «Si tu enemigo tiene hambre, dale de comer;
si tiene sed, dale de beber. Actuando así, harás que se avergüence de su conducta».
21 No te dejes vencer por el mal; al contrario, vence el mal con el bien.

Romans 12:14-21 (NKJV)

14 Bless those who persecute you; bless and do not curse.
15 Rejoice with those who rejoice, and weep with those who weep.
16 Be of the same mind toward one another. Do not set your mind on high things, but associate with the humble. Do not be wise in your own opinion.
17 Repay no one evil for evil. Have regard for good things in the sight of all men.
18 If it is possible, as much as depends on you, live peaceably with all men.
19 Beloved, do not avenge yourselves, but rather give place to wrath; for it is written, “Vengeance is Mine, I will repay,” says the Lord.
20 Therefore “If your enemy is hungry, feed him; If he is thirsty, give him a drink; For in so doing you will heap coals of fire on his head.”
21 Do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good.
