9Let 13loveG26 be withoutG505 hypocrisyG505. 14AbhorG655 whatG4190 is evilG4190; clingG2853 to whatG18 is goodG18. 10Be 15devotedG5387 to oneG240 anotherG240 in brotherlyG5360 loveG5360; 16giveG4285 preferenceG4285 to oneG240 anotherG240 17in honorG5092; 11not laggingG3636 behindG3636 in diligenceG4710, 18ferventG2204 in spiritG4151, 19servingG1398 the LordG2962; 1220rejoicingG5463 in hopeG1680, 21perseveringG5278 in tribulationG2347, 22devotedG4342 to prayerG4335, 1323contributingG2841 to the needsG5532 of the 24saintsG40, 2526practicingG1377 hospitalityG5381.

1427BlessG2127 thoseG3588 who persecuteG1377 28you; blessG2127 and do not curseG2672. 1529RejoiceG5463 with those who rejoiceG5463, and weepG2799 with those who weepG2799. 1630Be of the sameG846 mindG5426 towardG1519 oneG240 anotherG240; 31do not be haughtyG5308 in mindG5426, but 32associateG4879 with the lowlyG5011. 33Do not be wiseG5429 in your ownG1438 estimationG1438. 1734NeverG3367 payG591 backG591 evilG2556 for evilG2556 to anyoneG3367. 3536RespectG4306 whatG2570 is rightG2570 in the sightG1799 of allG3956 menG444. 18IfG1487 possibleG1415, 37so farG3588 as it dependsG1537 on you, 38be at peaceG1514 with allG3956 menG444. 1939NeverG3361 takeG1556 your ownG1438 revengeG1556, belovedG27, but 40leaveG1325 roomG5117 for the wrathG3709 of God, for it is writtenG1125, “41VengeanceG1557 is MineG1699, I will repayG467,” saysG3004 the LordG2962. 20“42But ifG1437 your enemyG2190 is hungryG3983, feedG5595 him, and ifG1437 he is thirstyG1372, giveG4222 him a drinkG4222; for in soG3778 doingG4160 you will heapG4987 burningG4442 coalsG440 on his headG2776.” 21Do not be overcomeG3528 by evilG2556, but overcomeG3528 evilG2556 with goodG18.
