Niceness is what initially lures Mark Studdock into the fold of National Institute for Co-ordinated Experiments (N.I.C.E.). He’s flattered and made to feel like a vital part of the propaganda machine within the organization despite his repeated poor performance.
Thus says the Lord of hosts, render true judgments, show kindness and mercy to one another.
Be kind to one another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, as God in Christ forgave you.
He has told you, O man, what is good; and what does the Lord require of you but to do justice, and to love kindness, and to walk humbly with your God?
Do not neglect to do good and to share what you have, for such sacrifices are pleasing to God.
Whoever pursues righteousness and kindness will find life, righteousness, and honor.
Put on then, as God's chosen ones, holy and beloved, compassionate hearts, kindness, humility, meekness, and patience, bearing with one another and, if one has a complaint against another, forgiving each other; as the Lord has forgiven you, so you also must forgive. And above all these put on love, which binds everything together in perfect harmony.
But love your enemies, and do good, and lend, expecting nothing in return, and your reward will be great, and you will be sons of the Most High, for he is kind to the ungrateful and the evil.
He has told you, O man, what is good; and what does the Lord require of you but to do justice, and to love kindness, and to walk humbly with your God?
