Strive not with a man without cause, if he has done thee no harm (잠언 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.
당신이되었을 때 새로운 창조, 그만큼 old you doesn’t exist anymore. 오래된 것들은 지나가고, 그리고 모든 것이 새로워졌습니다. Your old life, with your feelings, 감정, 의견, 경험담, 생각, 등. 예수 그리스도와 함께 십자가에 못 박혔느니라, and buried through the 물 침례. 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
때를 walk as the new creation, you shall not argue, nor strive with someone without cause.
I would like to go one step further, 말함으로써, 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. 옛 창조; 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. 아마도 (s)he forgives, but forget? 안 돼요! The old creations are led by their flesh; 그들의 감정, 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; 살. 그러므로 (s)he is able to forgive, and to forget, and never looks for evil, but walks in forgiveness
