Marks of the True Christian
9tLet love be genuine. uAbhor what is evil; hold fast to what is good. 10vLove one another with brotherly affection. wOutdo one another in showing honor. 11Do not be slothful in zeal, xbe fervent in spirit,7 yserve the Lord. 12zRejoice in hope, abe patient in tribulation, bbe constant in prayer. 13cContribute to the needs of the saints and dseek to show hospitality.
14eBless those who persecute you; bless and do not curse them. 15fRejoice with those who rejoice, weep with those who weep. 16gLive in harmony with one another. hDo not be haughty, but associate with the lowly.8 iNever be wise in your own sight. 17jRepay no one evil for evil, but kgive thought to do what is honorable in the sight of all. 18If possible, so far as it depends on you, llive peaceably with all. 19Beloved, mnever avenge yourselves, but leave it9 to the wrath of God, for it is written, n“Vengeance is mine, I will repay, says the Lord.” 20To the contrary, o“if your enemy is hungry, feed him; if he is thirsty, give him something to drink; for by so doing you will heap burning coals on his head.” 21Do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good.
