Romans 12:14 echoes Luke 6:27-28 — bless those who persecute you

Skeptics Wrongly Claim Apostle Paul Didn’t Know Jesus 00:23:03 – 00:24:05

Paul's ethical instructions parallel Jesus's teachings in the Sermon on the Plain, suggesting he is drawing from Jesus's tradition.

Romans 12:14 reads: 'Bless those who persecute you; bless and do not curse them.' Luke 6:27-28 reads: 'Love your enemies, do good to those who hate you, bless those who curse you, pray for those who abuse you.' Mike argues Paul is echoing a specific teaching of Jesus even without direct quotation — a pattern of carrying Jesus's ethical teaching into his church instructions.
