Romans 12:14 — Community Reflections

ROMANS 12:14 — KING JAMES VERSION 1 0

“Bless them which persecute you: bless, and curse not.”

Bless those who persecute you; bless and do not curse. — Eulogeō (bless, speak well of) persecutors (diōkō, pursue, chase) inverts natural retaliation. Ara (curse) is forbidden, creating a stark ethical boundary. This teaching echoes Jesus' command to love enemies (Matthew 5:44), elevating blessing even toward antagonists.
