What does Romans 12:21 mean?

Romans 12 is very much a description of what it means to lead the life of a living sacrifice to God. If we're honest with ourselves, it sounds very difficult. Most of Paul's bullet-point commands in the previous verses have to do with setting ourselves aside. It's tough for us to do this for the good of our fellow Christians, let alone for our enemies. Difficult or not, Paul is calling us to live as Jesus did. 

Obviously, this week has been a challenge to live this verse; however, we must strive to set an example.
