Romans 12:17

μηδενὶ κακὸν κ.τ.λ. 1 Thessalonians 5:15 f.; 1 Peter 3:9 f.

προνοούμενοι καλὰ κ.τ.λ. Proverbs 3:4, LXX[254]; 2 Corinthians 8:21; the sense is well given by Chrys.: πρόνοιαν ποιεῖσθε τοῦ καλοὶ φαίνεσθαι ἐν τῷ μηδενὶ διδόναι ψόγου πρόφασιν, he compares 1 Corinthians 10:32. Lid. cf[255] 1 Thessalonians 4:12; 1 Peter 2:12. There is a common standard of honour which Christians must by no means ignore; cf. 2 Corinthians 4:2.
