Honor One Another

Love must be Sincere

The Bible Knowledge Commentary 12:9–10

Paul began these specific exhortations with the key ingredient for success: Love must be sincere. This is God’s love, which has been ministered to believers by the Holy Spirit (5:5) and must be ministered by them to others in the Holy Spirit’s power. “Sincere” translates anypokritos (lit., “without hypocrisy”), also used of love (2 Cor. 6:6; 1 Peter 1:22), of faith (1 Tim. 1:5; 2 Tim. 1:5), and of wisdom (James 3:17).

Love must be sincere:

Hate what is evil; cling to what is good.

Turn from evil things and desires and cling - hold tight - grasp at what is good.

Be devoted to each other in brotherly (family) love.

Honor one another (take delight in this)
