[Let] love be without dissimulation. Abhor that which is evil; cleave to that which is good (12:9) [Be] kindly affectioned one to another with brotherly love; in honour preferring one another; (12:10) Not slothful in business; fervent in spirit; serving the Lord; (12:11) Rejoicing in hope; patient in tribulation; continuing instant in prayer; (12:12) Distributing to the necessity of saints; given to hospitality (12:13) Bless them which persecute you: bless, and curse not (12:14) Rejoice with them that do rejoice, and weep with them that weep (12:15) [Be] of the same mind one toward another. Mind not high things, but condescend to men of low estate. Be not wise in your own conceits (12:16) Recompense to no man evil for evil. Provide things honest in the sight of all men (12:17) If it be possible, as much as lieth in you, live peaceably with all men (12:18) Dearly beloved, avenge not yourselves, but [rather] give place unto wrath: for it is written, Vengeance [is] mine; I will repay, saith the Lord (12:19) Therefore if thine enemy hunger, feed him; if he thirst, give him drink: for in so doing thou shalt heap coals of fire on his head (12:20) Be not overcome of evil, but overcome evil with good
(12:21)
