14Bless those who persecute you; bless and do not curse.

15Rejoice with those who rejoice; weep with those who weep.

16Be of the same mind toward one another; do not set your mind on high things, but associate with the lowly. Do not become wise in your own sight.

17Repaying no one evil for evil, but taking thought for what is good in the sight of all people.
