looks like we are ready for Chapter 12
In Chapter 11 is the last of what Paul had to say about the Jews and how we are related to them (Grafted into the covenant)
Chapter 12:1-8
begins to talk about the Holy Spirit and how he gifts us with different abilities, and how that will lead into worshiping God differently. This means we all will function in our religious lives differently. That what I can do for God may not be what another brother could do. Yet through Christ we both have the freedom to do it. This block of text is the preamble to our various denominational worship. In that we only have one charge. Hate and avoid evil and do what we can for each other out of love. The rest can be accredited to God as worship. where as before (and what many of you think Christianity is/should be) is prescribed methodical ritual and tradition.
9-21 goes into greater detail on how it is we are to love one another. Love not only the lovable, but also love those in whom we may want to loath.
