re: "marks of the true christian" (rom 12:9-21)
vv9-10,21 "let LOVE be genuine; hate what is evil, hold fast to what is good; [10] love one another with mutual affection; outdo onw another in showing honor.
"[21] do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good."
re: "raphael's exhortation" (tob 12:6-10)
v7b "do good and evil will not overtake you."
reflection: the angel raphael says this to tobit and tobias after he had carried out god's orders for him to heal tobit of his blindness and sarah of her depression (due to the demon who caused her husbands to die at their honeymoon night) in response to their prayers. this is also divine justice because they were good people and deserved to be blest. so, the lesson of raphael is to continue to do good no matter what unfortunate events befall us.
