Revised Common Lectionary (Complementary)

⁹ Let love be without dissembling. Hate that which is evil, and cleave unto that which is good. ¹⁰ Be kind to one another, with brotherly love. Honour others before yourselves. ¹¹ Let not the work that you have in hand be tedious to you. Be fervent in the Spirit. Apply yourselves to the time. ¹² Rejoice in hope. Be patient in tribulation. Continue in prayer. ¹³ Give to meet the needs of the saints, and be ready to take people in.

¹⁴ Bless those who persecute you; bless, but curse not. ¹⁵ Be merry with those who are merry. Weep with those who weep. ¹⁶ Be of equal affection  one towards another. Be not high-minded, but make yourselves equal to the lowly. Do not be wise in your own opinions. ¹⁷ Repay no one evil for evil. Provide beforehand for things that are honourable in the sight of all people. ¹⁸ If it is possible, as for your part, have peace with all people.

¹⁹ Dearly beloveds, do not avenge yourselves, but leave room for the wrath of God. For it is written: Vengeance is mine, and I will reward, says the Lord. ²⁰ Therefore: If your enemy hungers, feed him, and if he thirsts, give him drink. For in so doing, you will heap coals of fire on his head. ²¹ Do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with goodness.
