Your new person in Christ will have that kind of nature. We must be willing to be ridiculed, beatne and tortured to death and still be loving and forgiving. If you are truely born-again, you will radiate those kind of qualities. Thats why I keep saying that being engaged in good works for the Lord, is a pure sign that you truly believe and you truly had a baptism of the HS, and you truly have a new person in the image of Jesus Christ. So we try it, and we do it, and we produce much fruit for the KOG.
Sometimes I find people that supposedly have read the bible confused and wonder if they have some kind of cognitive dysfunction or lack of comprehension to go through all of the mental gymnastics to justify their position on works = salvation. It's all nonsense otherwise the Bible would be written like that. the numbers to verses were added later because the word is so vast and broad in spectrum the numbers are just to make it easier to look things up.
Each and every verse is not separate or autonomous to itself but it is a small part of a big picture. I'd tend to be more understanding if we were dealing with illiterate people but we are not. These folks have computers and know how to read.

Interpret? It's not in code. but OK Prunes means trims. not casts aside. And we can't do it ourselves. if we do not bear fruit we are like a branch that doesn't. Not are a branch... The father will correct us, or trim us so that we do.
let's go to verse, (12) "My command is this Love one another as I have loved you. (13) Greater love has no one than this; to lay down ones life for ones friends (14) You are my friends if you do what I command. "What did he just command? VERSE 12!
