5 But for this very reason –adding, on your part, all earnestness– along with your faith, manifest also a noble character: along with a noble character, knowledge;6 along with knowledge, self-control; along with self-control, power of endurance;7 along with power of endurance, godliness; along with godliness, brotherly affection; and along with brotherly affection, love.
13 And who will be able to harm you, if you show yourselves zealous for that which is good?
15 Nor is a lamp lighted to be put under a bushel, but on the lampstand; and then it gives light to all in the house.16 Just so let your light shine before all men, in order that they may see your holy lives and may give glory to your Father who is in Heaven.
36 Be compassionate just as your Father is compassionate.
