9Love must be without hypocrisy. Abhor what is evil; be attached to what is good,

10being devoted to one another in brotherly love, esteeming one another more highly in honor,

16Think the same thing toward one another; do not think arrogantlyLiterally "think not the arrogant", but associate with the lowly. Do not be wise in your own sightLiterally "in the sight of yourselves".

4Love is patient, love is kind, love is not jealous, it does not boast, it does not become conceited,

13And now these three things remain: faith, hope, and love. But the greatest of these is love.

2with all humility and gentleness, with patience, putting up with one another in love,

15But speaking the truth in love, we are to grow into him with reference to all things, who is the head, Christ,

16from whom the whole body, joined together and held together by every supporting ligament, according to the working by measure of each single part, the growth of the body makes for the building up of itself in love.

5for you are all sons of light and sons of day. We are not of the night nor of darkness.

8But becauseHere "because" is supplied as a component of the participle ("are") which is understood as causal we are of the day, we must be sober, byHere "by" is supplied as a component of the participle ("putting on") which is understood as means putting on the breastplate of faith and love and as a helmet the hope of salvation,

13and to esteem them beyond all measure in love, because of their work. Be at peace among yourselves.
