For most of us, we read texts like this as a checklist of "do’s" and "don’ts." And rightly so! These verses clearly lay out for us in very specific terms how we are to act towards one another. However, we should not see these texts as exhaustive lists of how to act. Instead, they are examples of what it looks like to live out the command of chapter 5 verse 1: following God’s example and walking in love.
