Audio commentary on this verse

Note 13 at Ro 12:18: This verse is advocating living peaceably with all people, yet the very wording reveals that this is not always possible. We are not responsible for other people's actions. We must pursue peace, even when we are not at fault, but the other people do have a choice. We should be sure that we are at peace with all people. Whether or not they are at peace with us is their decision.
