For we have heard of your faith in Christ Jesus and of your love for all God's people.

This hope does not disappoint us, for God has poured out his love into our hearts by means of the Holy Spirit, who is God's gift to us.

I urge you, friends, by our Lord Jesus Christ and by the love that the Spirit gives: join me in praying fervently to God for me.

But the Spirit produces love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness,

For the Spirit that God has given us does not make us timid; instead, his Spirit fills us with power, love, and self-control.

Now that by your obedience to the truth you have purified yourselves and have come to have a sincere love for other believers, love one another earnestly with all your heart.
