爱人不可虚假、恶要厌恶、善要亲近。 爱弟兄、要彼此亲热．恭敬人、要彼此推让。 殷勤不可懒惰．要心里火热．常常服事主。 在指望中要喜乐．在患难中要忍耐。祷告要恒切． 圣徒缺乏要帮补．客要一味的款待。
English
Let love be without dissimulation. Abhor that which is evil; cleave to that which is good. Be kindly affectioned one to another with brotherly love; in honour preferring one another; Not slothful in business; fervent in spirit; serving the Lord; Rejoicing in hope; patient in tribulation; continuing instant in prayer; Distributing to the necessity of saints; given to hospitality.

罗马书 12 把真诚的爱、盼望、忍耐、祷告和接待连在一起。坚持不是一个人的硬撑，也可以在彼此帮助中成为持续的生活方式。 等待已经很久，我开始失去耐心。恒切不是压住失望；在盼望中诚实表达，也珍惜今天仍可承担的责任。今天可以从一个小而具体的回应开始：做一件今天能完成的小事，再留时间休息。 回应经文不一定是宏大的决定。一个能在今天完成的小行动，可能比笼统地要求自己改变更诚实。
English
Romans 12 connects sincere love, hope, patience, prayer, and hospitality. Perseverance need not mean solitary endurance; mutual care can sustain it as a way of life. I have waited a long time and am losing patience. Perseverance does not suppress disappointment. Speak honestly in hope and care for today's responsibilities. Begin with a small concrete response today: Finish one small task possible today and leave time for rest. Responding to Scripture need not mean a grand decision. One achievable action today may be more honest than a vague promise to change.
