Romans 12:9 (ESV Strong's)
Let love be genuine. Abhor what is evil; hold fast to what is good.
Romans 12:21 (ESV Strong's)
Do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good.
Paul is telling us we have the obligation to be different and to be like Christ, to will and do as He has shown us. We are given His Spirit to help us on the way as we follow in His footsteps.
Genuine love is made manifest in the life of a disciple of Christ because of the Holy Spirit. He is the mark of God in our bodies, the spiritual circumcision of the New Covenant. We are sealed into His life by His life.
