Strive not with a man without cause, if he has done thee no harm (Proverbios 3:30)
Don’t strive with someone without cause. Don’t look for a fight and don’t dare someone, when that person hasn’t done anything wrong. But keep walking in peace. Be a peacemaker, instead of a trouble maker.
When you have become una nueva creación, el old you doesn’t exist anymore. Old things are passed away, y todas las cosas se han vuelto nuevas. Your old life, with your feelings, emociones, opiniones, experiencias, pensamientos, etc.. is crucified with Jesus Christ, and buried through the Bautismo en agua. It’s not about you anymore, but it’s all about Jesus; lo que dice la palabra. You will not be led by your emotions and feelings, but you will be led by the Spirit and the Word.
The sons of God will not strive
Cuando usted camina como la nueva creación, you shall not argue, nor strive with someone without cause.
I would like to go one step further, Al decir, that if there is a cause, that you still shouldn’t strive, argue, fight etc. When someone hurts you, or do you wrong, then you will still forgive, and stay friendly towards that person.
The old creation vs the new creation
This behavior distinguishes you from the world. The old creation; the sinner is carnal and walks after the flesh. The old creation cannot forgive, forget, and walk in peace. The old creation wants to get even, and argue, fight etc. Maybe (s)he forgives, but forget? No es posible! The old creations are led by their flesh; Sus sentimientos, and that is the reason why they cannot forgive and forget.
But the new creation walks after the Spirit and not after his/her feelings; carne. Por lo tanto (s)he is able to forgive, and to forget, and never looks for evil, but walks in forgiveness
