How to walk

Better is the sight of your eyes, then letting your mind wander.

Ecclesiastes 6:9

⁹ Better is the sight of the eyes than the wandering of the desire: this is also vanity and vexation of spirit.

Romans 12:1-20

12 I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that ye present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, which is your reasonable service.

² And be not conformed (shaped or fashioned) to this world (age, time): but be ye transformed (alter one’s bearing) by the renewing (renovate) of your the mind, that ye may prove (to your proving) what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God.

³ For I say, through the grace given unto me, to every man that is among you, not to think of himself more highly than he ought to think; but to think soberly, according as God hath dealt to every man the measure of faith.

⁴ For as we have many members in (resting within) one body, and all members have not the same office:

⁵ So we, being many, are one body in (resting within) Christ, and every one members one of another.

⁶ Having then gifts (gifts by grace) differing according to the grace that is given to us, whether prophecy, let us prophesy according to the proportion (equality of ratios) of faith;

⁷ Or ministry, let us wait on our ministering: or he that teacheth, on teaching;

⁸ Or he that exhorteth (encourgeth), on exhortation (encouraging): he that giveth, let him do it with simplicity (plainnes); he that ruleth, with diligence; he that sheweth mercy, with cheerfulness.

⁹ Let love be without dissimulation (unfeigned, without hypocrisy). Abhor that which is the evil; cleave to that which is the good.

¹⁰ Be kindly affectioned (like a family) one to another with brotherly love; in honour preferring one another;

¹¹ Not slothful (slow or tardy) in business (serious business); fervent (boiling hot) in spirit; serving the Lord;

¹² Rejoicing in hope (expectation of future good); patient in tribulation; continuing instant (steadfastly) in prayer;

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

¹⁴ Bless them which persecute you (try to see you in pain or injury): bless, and curse not.

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

¹⁶ Be of the same mind (seek the same object) one toward another. Mind not high things, but condescend (be carried away) to men of low estate. Be not wise in your own conceits (eyes).

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 (a specific place/spot) 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 (generically bad both moral and physical), but overcome evil with good.
