Romans 12:9-16

Young's Literal Translation

⁹The love unfeigned: abhorring the evil; cleaving to the good;

¹⁰in the love of brethren, to one another kindly affectioned: in the honour going before one another;

¹¹in the diligence not slothful; in the spirit fervent; the Lord serving;

¹²in the hope rejoicing; in the tribulation enduring; in the prayer persevering;

¹³to the necessities of the saints communicating; the hospitality pursuing.

¹⁴Bless those persecuting you; bless, and curse not;

¹⁵to rejoice with the rejoicing, and to weep with the weeping,

¹⁶of the same mind one toward another, not minding the high things, but with the lowly going along; become not wise in your own conceit;
