Strive not with a man without cause, if he has done thee no harm (Izreke 3:30)
Don’t strive with someone without cause. Don’t look for a fight and don’t dare someone, when that person hasn’t done anything wrong. But keep walking in peace. Be a peacemaker, instead of a trouble maker.
Kada ste postali nova kreacija, U old you doesn’t exist anymore. Stare stvari su nestale, i sve je postalo novo. Your old life, with your feelings, Emocije, Mišljenja, Iskustva, Misli, itd. je razapet sa Isusom Hristom, and buried through the vodeni krštenje. It’s not about you anymore, but it’s all about Jesus; what the Word says. You will not be led by your emotions and feelings, but you will be led by the Spirit and the Word.
The sons of God will not strive
Kad ti hodati kao nova kreacija, you shall not argue, nor strive with someone without cause.
I would like to go one step further, rekavši, that if there is a cause, that you still shouldn’t strive, argue, fight etc. When someone hurts you, or do you wrong, then you will still forgive, and stay friendly towards that person.
The old creation vs the new creation
This behavior distinguishes you from the world. Stara kreacija; the sinner is carnal and walks after the flesh. The old creation cannot forgive, forget, and walk in peace. The old creation wants to get even, and argue, fight etc. Možda (s)he forgives, but forget? Nema šanse! The old creations are led by their flesh; njihova osećanja, and that is the reason why they cannot forgive and forget.
But the new creation walks after the Spirit and not after his/her feelings; Meso. Stoga (s)he is able to forgive, and to forget, and never looks for evil, but walks in forgiveness
