Be Like Christ

2 Therefore if there is any encouragement in Christ, if there is any consolation of love, if there is any ^(A)fellowship of the Spirit, if any ^[a](B)affection and compassion, ^2 (C)make my joy complete ^[b]by ^(D)being of the same mind, maintaining the same love, united in spirit, intent on one purpose. ³ Do nothing ^[c]from ^[d](E)selfishness or ^(F)empty conceit, but with humility of mind ^(G)regard one another as more important than yourselves; ^4 (H)do not merely look out for your own personal interests, but also for the interests of others.

¹¹ Therefore ^[a]encourage one another and ^(A)build up one another, just as you also are doing.

Christian Conduct

¹² But we request of you, brethren, that you ^[b](B)appreciate those ^(C)who diligently labor among you, and ^(D)have charge over you in the Lord and give you ^[c]instruction, ¹³ and that you esteem them very highly in love because of their work. ^(E)Live in peace with one another. ¹⁴ We urge you, brethren, admonish ^(F)the ^[d]unruly, encourage ^(G)the fainthearted, help ^(H)the weak, be ^(I)patient with everyone. ¹⁵ See that ^(J)no one repays another with evil for evil, but always ^(K)seek after that which is good for one another and for all people.
