9 Be sincere (not phony or showy) with love

10 Be devoted to each other

Honor others above yourself

11 Stay on fire for God and serve him

12 When you need hope, find joy

When you suffer, be patient

Never stop praying

13 Take care of people in need

Welcome strangers and guests – my home is your home

14 When people put you down or do evil do you, bless them

15 When people celebrate, celebrate with them

When they are sad, join them in their sadness

16 Be an agent of peace in your world (put your finger in the water to stop the ripples)

Be humble, not proud, and befriend people below your station

Don’t think you’re better than everyone else. You’re saved because you were a sinner.

17 Let evil be its own enemy. It is not your job to do paybacks.

Keep yourself above reproach. Do the right thing.

18 Be a peacemaker, not a battler. In every situation that needs a peace agent, you are that person.

19 God handles justice for you, it is not your business

20 be the opposite of evil and oppose evil with kindness

21 don’t let evil consume you, instead consume evil with goodness.
