Let love be genuine

Let love be genuine;

hate what is evil,

hold fast to what is good;

love one another with brotherly affection;

outdo one another in showing honor.

Never flag in zeal,

be aglow with the Spirit,

serve the Lord.

Rejoice in your hope,

be patient in tribulation,

be constant in prayer.

Contribute to the needs of the saints,

practice hospitality.

Romans 12:9-13 RSV
