Romans 12:9-17 AMPC
[9] [Let your] love be sincere (a real thing); hate what is evil [loathe all ungodliness, turn in horror from wickedness], but hold fast to that which is good.
[10] Love one another with brotherly affection [as members of one family], giving precedence and showing honor to one another.
[11] Never lag in zeal and in earnest endeavor; be aglow and burning with the Spirit, serving the Lord.
[12] Rejoice and exult in hope; be steadfast and patient in suffering and tribulation; be constant in prayer.
[13] Contribute to the needs of God's people [sharing in the necessities of the saints]; pursue the practice of hospitality.
[14] Bless those who persecute you [who are cruel in their attitude toward you]; bless and do not curse them.
[15] Rejoice with those who rejoice [sharing others' joy], and weep with those who weep [sharing others' grief].
[16] Live in harmony with one another; do not be haughty (snobbish, high-minded, exclusive), but readily adjust yourself to [people, things] and give yourselves to humble tasks. Never overestimate yourself or be wise in your own conceits. [Prov. 3:7.]
[17] Repay no one evil for evil, but take thought for what is honest and proper and noble [aiming to be above reproach] in the sight of everyone. [Prov. 20:22.]
