6
And having gifts, different according to the grace that was given to us; whether prophecy -- 'According to the proportion of faith!'
7
or ministration -- 'In the ministration!' or he who is teaching -- 'In the teaching!'
8
or he who is exhorting -- 'In the exhortation!' he who is sharing -- 'In simplicity!' he who is leading -- 'In diligence?' he who is doing kindness -- 'In cheerfulness.'
9
The love unfeigned: abhorring the evil; cleaving to the good;
10
in the love of brethren, to one another kindly affectioned: in the honour going before one another;
11
in the diligence not slothful; in the spirit fervent; the Lord serving;
12
in the hope rejoicing; in the tribulation enduring; in the prayer persevering;
13
to the necessities of the saints communicating; the hospitality pursuing.
14
Bless those persecuting you; bless, and curse not;
15
to rejoice with the rejoicing, and to weep with the weeping,
16
of the same mind one toward another, not minding the high things, but with the lowly going along; become not wise in your own conceit;
17
giving back to no one evil for evil; providing right things before all men.
18
If possible -- so far as in you -- with all men being in peace;
19
not avenging yourselves, beloved, but give place to the wrath, for it hath been written, 'Vengeance [is] Mine,
20
I will recompense again, saith the Lord;' if, then, thine enemy doth hunger, feed him; if he doth thirst, give him drink; for this doing, coals of fire thou shalt heap upon his head;
21
Be not overcome by the evil, but overcome, in the good, the evil.
