Inner Peace in Romans 12:17-18

Romans 12:17-18 - A Neville Goddard interpretation

Read Romans 12 in context

Scripture Focus

17Recompense to no man evil for evil. Provide things honest in the sight of all men.
18If it be possible, as much as lieth in you, live peaceably with all men.
Romans 12:17-18

Biblical Context

Do not repay evil with evil. Act honestly toward all and live as peacefully as you can with everyone.

Neville's Inner Vision

Assume the consciousness that you are the I AM, the timeless watcher beyond reaction. When you refuse to repay evil with evil, you do not alter another’s behavior; you awaken the inner state that magnetizes honest, peaceful living. See in your mind’s eye that every encounter mirrors your inner decision: you choose honesty in word and deed, and the world begins to respond in kind. The impulse of retaliation dissolves in the light of awareness, replaced by a quiet certainty that harmony is your natural condition. As you dwell in that state, you radiate a ripple of integrity others sense and sometimes imitate. Romans 12:17–18 becomes not a command to police the world, but an invitation to rewrite your inner script so conflict loses its charge. Your outer life will reflect the inner alignment, and peace will become the normal feeling between you and others.

Practice This Now

Close your eyes and assume the state of honest peace toward all and revise hostile thoughts the moment they arise. Feel it real by acting from that state in every interaction today.
