9 Your love must be real. Hate what is evil. Hold on to what is good.
10 Love each other like brothers and sisters. Give your brothers and sisters more honor than you want for yourselves.
11 Do not be lazy but work hard. Serve the Lord with all your heart.
12 Be joyful because you have hope. Be patient when trouble comes. Pray at all times.
13 Share with God’s people who need help. Bring strangers in need into your homes.
14 Wish good for those who do bad things to you. Wish them well and do not curse them.
15 Be happy with those who are happy. Be sad with those who are sad.
