Love must be sincere and honest;
Hate what's evil, keep the good.
Be devoted to each other;
Honour them as Jesus would.
Never lack in zeal or fervour;
Serve the Lord with all your heart.

Patient, joyful, always faithful,
In affliction, hope and pray'r.
Share with those who need assistance,
Always ready your home to share.
Bless all those who persecute you;
Bless and do not curse their names.

Joy with those who are rejoicing;
Weep with those who mourn their fate.
Live in peace; be not conceited;
Mingle with those of low estate.
Never pay back wrong with evil,
Live honestly in men’s eyes.

Live at peace with every person;
Avenge not, God metes out wrath;
Give your enemy food and water:
He may change his wicked path;
Don't let evil triumph o'er you;
Overcome each wrong with good.

愛必須真摯與真誠；
惡要厭惡，守良善。
彼此之間忠誠相待；
像救主彼此恭敬。
永不失卻火熱的心；
全心全意服事主。

忍耐，喜樂，常常忠誠，
受苦，存盼望，禱告。
與有需要的人分享，
常準備接待客旅。
給逼迫你的人祝福；
只要祝福，不咒詛。

與喜樂的人要同樂；
與哀哭的人同哭。
彼此同心，不要自高；
與卑微的人相交。
千萬不要以惡報惡，
誠實的活在人前。

要盡力與眾人和睦；
不報仇，聽憑主怒；
給你仇敵食物與水；
他或會離惡歸正；
你不要為惡所勝過；
反而要以善勝惡。
