7whether ministry, let us use it in our ministry; whether teaching; in the teaching;
8whether exhorting, in the exhortation; whether sharing, with simplicity; whether leading, with diligence; whether showing mercy, with cheerfulness.
9Let love be without hypocrisy. Hate that which is evil. Cleave to that which is good.
10Be warmly affectionate to one another with brotherly love, in honor preferring one another;
11not lagging in diligence, fervent in spirit, serving the Lord;
12rejoicing in hope, enduring in tribulation, devoted to prayer;
13sharing in the needs of the saints, pursuing hospitality.
14Bless those that persecute you; bless and do not curse.
15Rejoice with those who rejoice, and weep with those who weep.
16Live in harmony with one another. Do not be proud, but rather associate with the humble. Do not be wise in your own opinion.
17Do not repay anyone evil for evil; providing that which is good before all men.
