Romans 12
9Love must be sincere. Hate what is evil; cling to what is good. 10Be devoted to one another in brotherly love. Honor one another above yourselves. 11Never be lacking in zeal, but keep your spiritual fervor, serving the Lord. 12Be joyful in hope, patient in affliction, faithful in prayer. 13Share with God's people who are in need. Practice hospitality.

I like it better in the King James version;
Romans 12:9-13
9 Let love be without dissimulation. Abhor that which is evil; cleave to that which is good. 10 Be kindly affectioned one to another with brotherly love; in honor preferring one another; 11 not slothful in business; fervent in spirit; serving the Lord; 12 rejoicing in hope; patient in tribulation; continuing instant in prayer; 13 distributing to the necessity of saints; given to hospitality.

Sure sounds to me to be the ideal definition of what a true Christian should do, if we are truly like this surely our lives would be the cause of more conversions than we tend to achieve with words alone.

I think it is a very good bible passage to follow in our everyday walk as a christian. It really show's who a Christian is. It show's what we can love and what we can hate and what to do on a daily basis.
