and he has made known to us your love in the Spirit.
I appeal to you, brothers and sisters, by our Lord Jesus Christ and by the love of the Spirit, to join me in earnest prayer to God on my behalf,
for God did not give us a spirit of cowardice but rather a spirit of power and of love and of self-discipline.
for we have heard of your faith in Christ Jesus and of the love that you have for all the saints,
By contrast, the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, generosity, faithfulness,
and hope does not put us to shame, because God’s love has been poured into our hearts through the Holy Spirit that has been given to us.
Now that you have purified your souls by your obedience to the truth so that you have genuine mutual affection, love one another deeply from the heart.
For there is nothing hidden, except to be disclosed; nor is anything secret, except to come to light.
