Love must be without hypocrisy. Abhor what is evil, cling to what is good.

by purity, by knowledge, by patience, by benevolence, by the Holy Spirit, by genuine love,

But the aim of our instruction is love that comes from a pure heart, a good conscience, and a sincere faith.

You have purified your souls by obeying the truth in order to show sincere mutual love. So love one another earnestly from a pure heart.

But the wisdom from above is first pure, then peaceable, gentle, accommodating, full of mercy and good fruit, impartial, and not hypocritical.

I recall your sincere faith that was alive first in your grandmother Lois and in your mother Eunice, and I am sure is in you.
