Romans 12:9

Living In Love

⁸ Let the teacher give himself to his teaching; and he who exhorts others to his exhortation. He who gives, let him do it in singleness of mind. He who rules, let him rule with diligence; and he who shows mercy must be cheerful. ⁹ Let love be without insincerity. Abhor what is evil; wed yourselves to what is good. ¹⁰ As for brotherly love, be tenderly affectionate one to another, in honor preferring one another.
