7Or an office, let vs waite on the office: or he that teacheth, on teaching:
8Or he that exhorteth, on exhortation: he that distributeth, let him doe it with simplicitie: he that ruleth, with diligence: he that sheweth mercie, with cheerefulnesse.
9Let loue be without dissimulation. Abhorre that which is euill, and cleaue vnto that which is good.
10Be affectioned to loue one another with brotherly loue. In giuing honour, goe one before another,
11Not slouthfull to do seruice: seruent in spirit seruing the Lord,
12Reioycing in hope, pacient in tribulation, continuing in prayer,
13Distributing vnto the necessities of the Saintes: giuing your selues to hospitalitie.
14Blesse them which persecute you: blesse, I say, and curse not.
15Reioyce with them that reioyce, and weepe with them that weepe.
16Be of like affection one towardes another: be not hie minded: but make your selues equall to them of the lower sort: be not wise in your selues.
17Recompence to no man euill for euill: procure things honest in the sight of all men.
