10
Be good friends who love deeply; practice playing second fiddle.
11
Don't burn out; keep yourselves fueled and aflame. Be alert servants of the Master,
12
cheerfully expectant. Don't quit in hard times; pray all the harder.
13
Help needy Christians; be inventive in hospitality.
14
Bless your enemies; no cursing under your breath.
