Do not become like the people who belong to this world. But let God completely change the way that you think, so that you live differently. Then you will understand what God wants you to do. You will know what is good. You will know what pleases God. You will know what is completely right.

My Christian friends, God has been very kind to us. Because of that, I really want you to serve God with your whole life. Offer your bodies to him like a sacrifice that continues to live. Serve him with everything that you have, and that will please him. That is the true way to worship God.

Be happy, because you can trust God to do what he says. Be patient when you suffer. Always continue to pray.

Do not let evil things win against you! Instead, do good things. Then you will win against the evil things that people do.

Love each other truly like brothers and sisters. Be happy to give honour to other Christians.

Love other people in a true way, not like a hypocrite. Hate anything that is bad. Continue to do things that are good.

If it is possible, always try to live in peace with other people.

My friends, if someone has done bad things to you, do not try to punish them yourselves. Instead, let God be angry with them and punish them. This is what is written in the Bible: ‘The Lord God says, “When people do something wrong, I am the one who will punish them. I will pay them back.” ’

Do not be lazy, but always work hard. Serve the Lord well.

God has been kind to me so that I can serve him. Because of that, I say this to every one of you: do not think that you are better than you really are. Instead, think about yourself carefully. Decide how much God has helped you to trust him. Then you will know how you should serve him.

If someone has done bad things against you, do not do bad things back to them. Try to live in a good way, so that people will respect you.

Always try to be friends with other people. Do not be proud. Agree to help people who are not important. Do not think that you know everything.

Instead, ‘If your enemy is hungry, feed him. If he is thirsty, give him something to drink. If you help your enemy, he will become ashamed. He will be sorry because of what he did to you.’

Ask God to bless people who cause trouble for you. Yes, do not curse them, but bless them! If you are with someone who is happy, you should be happy too. If you are with someone who is sad, you should be sad too.

When God's people need anything, share what you have with them. Always be happy to welcome people into your home.

Each part of our body works in a different way. But all the parts belong to our one body. In the same way, we are many people, but we all belong to Christ, like one body. We also belong to each other, as the different parts of one body belong to each other.
