⁹ Let love be without dissimulation. Abhor that which is evil; cleave to that which is good.

⁶ By pureness, by knowledge, by long suffering, by kindness, by the Holy Ghost, by love unfeigned,

⁸ I speak not by commandment, but by occasion of the forwardness of others, and to prove the sincerity of your love.

¹⁸ My little children, let us not love in word, neither in tongue; but in deed and in truth.
