John 16:2b,3

will think he has offered a sacred service to God.

come to know either the Father or me.

Romans 12:17-21
17 Return evil for evil to no one. Take into consideration
what is fine from the viewpoint of all men.
18 If possible, as far as it depends on you, be peaceable with all men.
19 Do not avenge yourselves, beloved, but yield place to the wrath;
for it is written: “‘Vengeance is mine; I will repay,’ says Jehovah.”
20 But “if your enemy is hungry, feed him; if he is thirsty,
give him something to drink; for by doing this you will heap
fiery coals on his head.”
21 Do not let yourself be conquered by the evil,
but keep conquering the evil with the good.

Acts 20:29, 30
29 I know that after my going away oppressive wolves
will enter in among you and will not treat the flock with tenderness,
30 and from among you yourselves men will rise and speak
twisted things to draw away the disciples after themselves.
