Do not be overcome by evil,
but overcome evil with good.
The stark reality of the world is that evil exists. You may have heard of “necessary evils” or the very newsworthy “questionable ethics” which have been used to achieve solutions for “the greater good.” Well, according to the Word of God, these aren’t ways to solve any challenging problems. Simply put, you cannot overcome evil by using evil. The only way to overcome evil is by using that which is good. Emperor Vespasian of the Roman Empire would not let a day pass by without doing something good. If he found that a single day had passed by without his performing a good deed, he would enter into his journal Diem, "perdidi," meaning "I have lost a day." Don’t lose any days where you can personally overcome evil by simply doing something good.
