Paul turns to conveying a message that Jesus conveyed in his sermon on the mount. We dig into the backstory of the "eye for an eye" verse that Jesus explained in his sermon.

Paul tells us to live in harmony with each other, and he tells us how to do it: by avoiding high-mindedness and instead associating with all things lowly.

My seven-year-old joins us to talk about two more things Paul calls us to do: rejoice and weep.

Paul now switches from how we deal with fellow Jesus followers to how we deal with those who do not follow Jesus, starting with a teaching of Jesus that he obeyed with his final breaths: to love and bless our persecutors.

Paul continues explaining the marks of the true Christian by remarking on how we are called to help the saints.

Paul returns to his trio of hope, endurance, and prayer. We define that word "prayer," and talk about what it ought to do in our lives.

Paul interrupts his list of things we should do (love genuinely, devote brotherly, etc.) with something we should not do: slothfulness in our zeal and diligence for God. Instead, we should serve fervent in spirit.

Paul gives us two more directives on how followers of Jesus are to live: devotion and honor.

Paul starts his section that identifies the marks of a true follower of Jesus with the most important mark: love. But not just any love: real, genuine love.

Paul finishes his list of God's gifts with four more: exhortation, generosity, leadership, and mercy.
