11 not lagging in diligence, fervent in spirit, serving the Lord;

12 ^arejoicing in hope, ^bpatient in tribulation, ^ccontinuing steadfastly in prayer;

13 ^adistributing to the needs of the saints, ^bgiven to hospitality.

14 ^aBless those who persecute you; bless and do not curse.

15 ^aRejoice with those who rejoice, and weep with those who weep.

16 ^aBe of the same mind toward one another. ^bDo not set your mind on high things, but associate with the humble. Do not be wise in your own opinion.
