“所以，我们总要追求和睦的事，与彼此造就的事。”
罗马书 14:19
“Let us therefore make every effort to do what leads to peace and to mutual edification.”
Romans 14:19
is it possible to set aside irreconcilable differences when so much seems to be at stake? That’s one of the questions the apostle Paul answers in his New Testament letter to the Romans. Writing to readers caught in social, political, and religious conflict, he suggests ways of finding common ground even under the most polarized conditions (14:5–6).
According to Paul, the way to agree to disagree is to recall that each of us will answer to the Lord not only for our opinions but also for how we treat one another in our differences (v. 10).
Conditions of conflict can actually become occasions to remember that there are some things more important than our own ideas—even more than our interpretations of the Bible.
All of us will answer for whether we have loved one another, and even our enemies, as Christ loved us.
