11Be not slow in your work, but be quick in spirit, as the Lord's servants;
12Being glad in hope, quiet in trouble, at all times given to prayer,
13Giving to the needs of the saints, ready to take people into your houses.
14Give blessing and not curses to those who are cruel to you.
15Take part in the joy of those who are glad, and in the grief of those who are sorrowing.
16Be in harmony with one another. Do not have a high opinion of yourselves, but be in agreement with common people. Do not give yourselves an air of wisdom.
17Do not give evil for evil to any man. Let all your business be well ordered in the eyes of all men.
