It’s impossible to live the right life when you have the wrong friends (1 Corinthians 15:33). Our relationship with God has to be of greater value to us than our relationship with any human friend. At the same time the actions of another person, no matter how hurtful to us, are not an excuse to respond in kind. Romans 12:17-21 gives us some advice on how to treat those who have hurt us and who may no longer be suitable friends.
