Romans 12:9

Living In Love

⁸ Let him that teacheth take heed to his doctrine; Let him that exhorteth give attendance to his exhortation; If any man give, let him do it with singleness; Let him that ruleth do it with diligence; If any man show mercy let him do it with cheerfulness. ⁹ Let love be without dissimulation. Hate that which is evil, and cleave unto that which is good. ¹⁰ Be kind one to another, with brotherly love. In giving honour go one before another.
