Live in harmony with one another. Do not be proud, but be willing to associate with people of low position. Do not be conceited.

Let us therefore make every effort to do what leads to peace and to mutual edification.

For what the law was powerless to do in that it was weakened by the sinful nature, God did by sending his own Son in the likeness of sinful man to be a sin offering. And so he condemned sin in sinful man, in order that the righteous requirements of the law might be fully met in us, who do not live according to the sinful nature but according to the Spirit.
