Question:
Romans 12:21.  What are some ways in which we might overcome evil with good?

Answer:

For one thing, we can start trusting God’s promises now before trials come our way.  “A soft answer turneth away wrath: but grievous words stir up anger” (Proverbs 15:1).  “But I say unto you, That ye resist not evil:  but whosoever shall smite thee on thy right cheek, turn to him the other also” (Matthew 5:39).  “And whosoever shall compel thee to go a mile, go with him twain” (Matthew 5:41).
