There is more need for compassion in this world than there is for condemnation.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Luke 6:31<\/strong> (NIV)<br \/>\n31 Do to others as you would have them do to you.<\/p>\n<p><strong>1 John 3:17<\/strong> (KJV)<br \/>\n17 But whoso hath this world&#8217;s good, and seeth his brother have need, and shutteth up his bowels of compassion from him, how dwelleth the love of God in him?<\/p>\n<p><strong>Romans 12:14-18<\/strong> (NKJV)<br \/>\n14 Bless those who persecute you; bless and do not curse.<br \/>\n15 Rejoice with those who rejoice, and weep with those who weep.<br \/>\n16 Be of the same mind toward one another. Do not set your mind on high things, but associate with the humble. Do not be wise in your own opinion.<br \/>\n17 Repay no one evil for evil. Have regard for good things in the sight of all men.<br \/>\n18 If it is possible, as much as depends on you, live peaceably with all men.<\/p>\n<p><strong>James 3:17<\/strong> (NKJV)<br \/>\n17 But the wisdom that is from above is first pure, then peaceable, gentle, willing to yield, full of mercy and good fruits, without partiality and without hypocrisy.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Ephesians 4:2<\/strong> (ISV)<br \/>\n2 With all humility and gentleness, along with patience, accept one another in love.<\/p>\n<p><strong>1 Timothy 6:11<\/strong> (NKJV)<br \/>\n11 But you, O man of God, flee these things and pursue righteousness, godliness, faith, love, patience, gentleness.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Philippians 4:5<\/strong> (NKJV)<br \/>\n5 Let your gentleness be known to all men. The Lord is at hand.<\/p>\n<p><strong>1 Peter 3:8<\/strong> (NIV)<br \/>\n8 Finally, all of you, live in harmony with one another; be sympathetic, love as brothers, be compassionate and humble.<\/p>\n<p><strong>1 Peter 2:17<\/strong> (NIV)<br \/>\n17 Show proper respect to everyone: Love the brotherhood of believers, fear God, honor the king.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>You have probably read that members of the Westboro Baptist Church caused emotional distress to the father of a Maryland Marine killed in Iraq by picketing his funeral and must pay $2.9 million in damages, a jury found Wednesday.
