12Reioycing in hope, patient in tribulation, continuing instant in prayer. 13Distributing to the necessitie of Saints; giuen to hospitalitie. 14Blesse them which persecute you, blesse, and curse not. 15Reioyce with them that doe reioice, and weepe with them that weepe. 16Be of the same mind one towards another. Minde not high things, but condescend to men of low estate. Bee not wise in your owne conceits.
