Let love be without hypocrisy. Abhor that which is evil. Cling to that which is good. In love of the brothers be tenderly affectionate to one another; in honor prefer one another, not lagging in diligence, fervent in spirit, serving the Lord, rejoicing in hope, enduring in troubles, continuing steadfastly in prayer, contributing to the needs of the saints, and given to hospitality.
Bless those who persecute you; bless, and don’t curse. Rejoice with those who rejoice. Weep with those who weep. Be of the same mind one toward another. Don’t set your mind on high things, but associate with the humble. Don’t be wise in your own conceits. Repay no one evil for evil. Respect what is honorable in the sight of all men. If it is possible, as much as it is up to you, be at peace with all men.
This is a call for believer to a love that is sincere, resilient, and active. Paul describes faith lived out in everyday relationships serving with zeal, blessing enemies, practicing humility, and pursuing peace. This passage reminds us that Christlike love is not selective or convenient. It costs something. When we choose kindness over retaliation and unity over pride, we reflect the gospel in action. Let love be genuine today, rooted in truth, expressed through patience, and guided by a desire to live at peace with all.
Prayer
Dear Heavenly Father, protect me from deception and ground me in your truth. Help so that I do not believe everything that makes me feel good. Help me to always be able to discern what is truth and what is deceptive. In Jesus Name Amen.
