^14 (A)Pursue peace with all people, and holiness, ^(B)without which no one will see the Lord:

¹⁶ For ^(A)where envy and self-seeking exist, confusion and every evil thing are there. ¹⁷ But ^(B)the wisdom that is from above is first pure, then peaceable, gentle, willing to yield, full of mercy and good fruits, ^(C)without partiality ^(D)and without hypocrisy. ^18 (E)Now the fruit of righteousness is sown in peace by those who make peace.

¹⁸ If it is possible, as much as depends on you, ^(A)live peaceably with all men.

²² But ^(A)the fruit of the Spirit is ^(B)love, joy, peace, longsuffering, kindness, ^(C)goodness, ^(D)faithfulness,

³⁵ But ^(A)love your enemies, ^(B)do good, and ^(C)lend, ^[a]hoping for nothing in return; and your reward will be great, and ^(D)you will be sons of the Most High. For He is kind to the unthankful and evil.

¹⁴ For ^(A)as many as are led by the Spirit of God, these are sons of God.

Walk in Love

5 Therefore^(A) be imitators of God as dear ^(B)children. ² And ^(C)walk in love, ^(D)as Christ also has loved us and given Himself for us, an offering and a sacrifice to God ^(E)for a sweet-smelling aroma.
