Romans
12:9-15 (CEB)
9 Love should be shown without pretending. Hate evil, and hold on to
what is good. 10 Love each other like the members of your family. Be the best at
showing honor to each other. 11 Don’t hesitate to be enthusiastic—be on fire in the Spirit as you
serve the Lord! 12 Be happy in your hope, stand your ground when you’re in trouble,
and devote yourselves to prayer. 13 Contribute to the needs of God’s people, and welcome strangers
into your home.14 Bless
people who harass you—bless and don’t curse them. 15 Be happy with those who are happy, and cry with those who are
crying.
