       We aren’t to repay anyone for a wrong done against us (and trust me, this will come). We are to consider what others think, and not do anything that might offend them (more on this in chapter 14). We are to have an honest, respectable reputation. We shouldn’t have a habit of finding fault with one another. Rather, as much as we possibly can, we are try to live in peace with everyone. Let me say this: offense is going to come from time to time. There are going to be multiple opportunities for you to become offended, even with fellow brothers and sisters in Christ. If you think you should never get offended by a brother or sister, you better think again. We need to learn how to deal with offense at the moment it comes to us, most of the time letting it pass right by us. Indeed, becoming offended is a trap, and it will cost us dearly in life if we are not careful. Being continually offended at someone can make us truly miserable.
