13 Walk straight in front of you, step by step! Your example will help other Christians to serve God well. People who cannot walk well will not become worse and fall down. Instead, their legs will become strong again.[a]

We must not refuse to do what God says

14 Do everything that you can to live in peace with other people. Make yourself separate from bad things. Nobody will see the Lord unless their life is good and clean. 15 Remember that God is very kind. Nobody should refuse to let God help them.

He spoils many other people's lives so that God does not accept them.

  1. 12:13 Our life as Christians is like a journey. We need to walk strongly as we serve God. When we feel weak, we must be brave and continue to walk well. If the stronger Christians serve God well, then weaker Christians will copy their example. The weak Christians will become strong and serve God well too.
