1. Genuine love (without hypocrisy) is foundational.
2. Evil is to be hated and recognized for it's opposition to God and His ways.
3. Hold tightly to what is good, never releasing your grip.
4. Be "kindly affectionate" to one another and in brotherly love, honor others above yourself.
5. Stay fervent in spirit and don't slack off in serving the Lord.
6. Choose to be joyful in hope!
7. Choose to be patient in times of trial and affliction.
8. Be a person of prayer, first and foremost.
9. Share with those in their time of need.
10. Put hospitality into practice, making others sense the same welcome God has given you.
