         Paul’s Letter To The Romans 

10 - Love one another with brotherly and sisterly affection. Try to out do one another in showing honor to one another. 11 Don’t be spiritually lazy and disinterested, but fervent in spirit and serve the Lord. 12 Rejoice in hope [elpis - hope, expectation, trust, confidence].  {Rejoice in trust and confidence!} Be patient in times of trouble, praying always. 13 Contribute to the needs of the saints (believers) and seek to show hospitality.

     14 Bless those who do not bless you, and don’t curse those who curse/persecute you. 15 Be happy with those who are happy, and sad with those who are sad. 16 Live in harmony with one another. Don’t be haughty and stuck up, but associate with the lowly. Never be wise in your own sight. 17 Repay no one evil for evil, but give thought to do what is honorable in the sight of all. 18 If possible, so far as it depends upon you, live peaceably with all. 19 Beloved, never avenge yourselves, but leave it to the wrath of God {cause and effect, imo} for it is written, “Vengeance is mine, I will repay, says the LORD.” 20 But instead, “feed an enemy if they’re hungry, and give a drink if they are thirsty. For by so doing you will heap burning coals {of repentance} on their head.” 21 Don’t become entrapped in any snare of evil {including reactions?} but overcome evil with good.
