012:011 Do not be indolent when zeal is required. Be thoroughly warm-hearted,
the Lord's own servants,
012:012 full of joyful hope, patient under persecution, earnest and
persistent in prayer.
012:013 Relieve the necessities of God's people; always practise hospitality.
012:014 Invoke blessings on your persecutors—blessings, not curses.
012:015 Rejoice with those who rejoice; weep with those who weep.
012:016 Have full sympathy with one another. Do not give your mind to high things, but let humble ways content you. Do not be wise in your own conceits.
012:017 Pay back to no man evil for evil. Take thought for what is
right and seemly in every one's esteem.
012:018 If you can, so far as it depends on you, live at peace with
all the world.
012:019 Do not be revengeful, my dear friends, but give way before anger;
for it is written, "`Revenge belongs to Me: I will pay back,'
says the Lord."
012:020 On the contrary, therefore, if your enemy is hungry, give him food;
if he is thirsty, quench his thirst. For by doing this you
will be heaping burning coals upon his head.
