Romans 12:9-10 ESV
Marks of the True Christian
9 Let love be genuine. Abhor what is evil; hold fast to what is good. 10 Love one another with brotherly affection. Outdo one another in showing honor.
In this passage, Paul calls us to continue to show one another honor. He reminds us that when we think we have loved well or loved enough, we should continue to raise the bar.
