Verse 11.— Let him eschew evil, and do good. Turn away from every evil, either deed or word, no matter what the kind of character of the act or word may be, or its cause or provocation, and in place of such evil do good. Let him seek peace, and ensue it. Peace may, as it were, seem to be fleeing. It must be pursued. Peace with all mankind every Christian ought to maintain, and his efforts should be put forth to the attain­ment of that end.
