Are these good words to live by?
Never pay back evil with more evil. Do things in such a way that everyone can see you are honorable. Do all that you can to live in peace with everyone.

They certainly are. I have tried to live by these precepts though it is not always easy. Just as the LORD God shows such patience with us so we must exercise goodness towards others to the best of our ability.

Perhaps.
It's probably a better idea, though, to "live by" rational thought about each situation that comes up, rather than trite "sayings" written by ancient ignorant people.
In other words: think, don't follow.
Peace.

Sounds like it was stolen from Siddhartha Buddha: “Hatred does not cease by hatred, but only by love; this is the eternal rule.”
Note that this was written about 900 years before Romans...

Yes,
but don't be afraid to question authority if there's an obvious injustice is being perpetuated.
