Or  fervent in the Spirit
gserve the Lord.
12 hRejoice in hope, ibe patient in tribulation, jbe constant in prayer. 13 kContribute to the needs of the saints and lseek to show hospitality.

14 mBless those who persecute you; bless and do not curse them. 15 nRejoice with those who rejoice, weep with those who weep. 16 oLive in harmony with one another. pDo not be haughty, but associate with the lowly.
Or give yourselves to humble tasks
rNever be wise in your own sight.
17 sRepay no one evil for evil, but tgive thought to do what is honorable in the sight of all. 18If possible, so far as it depends on you, ulive peaceably with all. 19Beloved, vnever avenge yourselves, but leave it
Greek give place
to the wrath of God, for it is written, xVengeance is mine, I will repay, says the Lord.”
20To the contrary, yif your enemy is hungry, feed him; if he is thirsty, give him something to drink; for by so doing you will heap burning coals on his head.” 21Do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good.
