Long posts not always bad, some read them if God drawn, brother
[h=1]Love from God through Son, the Christ[/h] [h=1]Romans 12:9-18New International Version (NIV)[/h] [h=3]Love in Action[/h] [SUP]9 [/SUP]Love must be sincere. Hate what is evil; cling to what is good. [SUP]10 [/SUP]Be devoted to one another in love. Honor one another above yourselves. [SUP]11 [/SUP]Never be lacking in zeal, but keep your spiritual fervor, serving the Lord. [SUP]12 [/SUP]Be joyful in hope, patient in affliction, faithful in prayer. [SUP]13 [/SUP]Share with the Lord’s people who are in need. Practice hospitality.
[SUP]14 [/SUP]Bless those who persecute you; bless and do not curse. [SUP]15 [/SUP]Rejoice with those who rejoice; mourn with those who mourn. [SUP]16 [/SUP]Live in harmony with one another. Do not be proud, but be willing to associate with people of low position.[SUP][
a][/SUP] Do not be conceited.
[SUP]17 [/SUP]Do not repay anyone evil for evil. Be careful to do what is right in the eyes of everyone. [SUP]18 [/SUP]If it is possible, as far as it depends on you, live at peace with everyone.
[h=1]Ephesians 5:1-5New International Version (NIV)[/h] 5 [SUP]1 [/SUP]Follow God’s example, therefore, as dearly loved children [SUP]2 [/SUP]and walk in the way of love, just as Christ loved us and gave himself up for us as a fragrant offering and sacrifice to God.
[SUP]3 [/SUP]But among you there must not be even a hint of sexual immorality, or of any kind of impurity, or of greed, because these are improper for God’s holy people. [SUP]4 [/SUP]Nor should there be obscenity, foolish talk or coarse joking, which are out of place, but rather thanksgiving. [SUP]5 [/SUP]For of this you can be sure: No immoral, impure or greedy person—such a person is an idolater—has any inheritance in the kingdom of Christ and of God.[SUP][

[h=1]Philippians 2:3-5New International Version (NIV)[/h] [SUP]3 [/SUP]Do nothing out of selfish ambition or vain conceit. Rather, in humility value others above yourselves, [SUP]4 [/SUP]not looking to your own interests but each of you to the interests of the others.
[SUP]5 [/SUP]In your relationships with one another, have the same mindset as Christ Jesus:
[h=1]Philippians 2:14-15New International Version (NIV)[/h] [SUP]14 [/SUP]Do everything without grumbling or arguing, [SUP]15 [/SUP]so that you may become blameless and pure, “children of God without fault in a warped and crooked generation.”[SUP][
a][/SUP] Then you will shine among them like stars in the sky
[h=1]1 Thessalonians 5:15-22New International Version (NIV)[/h] [SUP]15 [/SUP]Make sure that nobody pays back wrong for wrong, but always strive to do what is good for each other and for everyone else.
[SUP]16 [/SUP]Rejoice always, [SUP]17 [/SUP]pray continually, [SUP]18 [/SUP]give thanks in all circumstances; for this is God’s will for you in Christ Jesus.
[SUP]19 [/SUP]Do not quench the Spirit. [SUP]20 [/SUP]Do not treat prophecies with contempt [SUP]21 [/SUP]but test them all; hold on to what is good, [SUP]22 [/SUP]reject every kind of evil.
[h=1]Hebrews 13:1-7New International Version (NIV)[/h] [h=3]Concluding Exhortations[/h] 13 Keep on loving one another as brothers and sisters. [SUP]2 [/SUP]Do not forget to show hospitality to strangers, for by so doing some people have shown hospitality to angels without knowing it. [SUP]3 [/SUP]Continue to remember those in prison as if you were together with them in prison, and those who are mistreated as if you yourselves were suffering.
[SUP]4 [/SUP]Marriage should be honored by all, and the marriage bed kept pure, for God will judge the adulterer and all the sexually immoral. [SUP]5 [/SUP]Keep your lives free from the love of money and be content with what you have, because God has said,
“Never will I leave you;
never will I forsake you.”[SUP][
a][/SUP]
[SUP]6 [/SUP]So we say with confidence,
“The Lord is my helper; I will not be afraid.
What can mere mortals do to me?”[SUP][

[SUP]7 [/SUP]Remember your leaders, who spoke the word of God to you. Consider the outcome of their way of life and imitate their faith.
[h=1]Hebrews 13:15-17New International Version (NIV)[/h] [SUP]15 [/SUP]Through Jesus, therefore, let us continually offer to God a sacrifice of praise—the fruit of lips that openly profess his name. [SUP]16 [/SUP]And do not forget to do good and to share with others, for with such sacrifices God is pleased.
[SUP]17 [/SUP]Have confidence in your leaders and submit to their authority, because they keep watch over you as those who must give an account. Do this so that their work will be a joy, not a burden, for that would be of no benefit to you.
[h=1]1 John 2:15-17New International Version (NIV)[/h] [h=3]On Not Loving the World[/h] [SUP]15 [/SUP]Do not love the world or anything in the world. If anyone loves the world, love for the Father[SUP][
a][/SUP] is not in them. [SUP]16 [/SUP]For everything in the world—the lust of the flesh, the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life—comes not from the Father but from the world. [SUP]17 [/SUP]The world and its desires pass away, but whoever does the will of God lives forever.
