when you are cursed > you bless
when you are persecuted > you endure it
when you are slandered > you answer kindly
(from first corinthians chapter four verses twelve and thirteen)
How difficult it is! The instant/natural reaction is to give it back in same/equal doses.
Such resemblence of how Paul, the writer's reaction, being similar to his master, Jesus. Could it be that they saw beyond the persons' who cursed, persecuted, slandered? Beyond the situation/issues? What calmness and clarity they had! And such security in God.
