Paul continues to tell the believers what kind of people they should be. This list began in [Romans 12:9](./09.md).

## Concerning diligence, do not be hesitant; concerning the spirit, be eager; concerning the Lord, serve him. ##

AT: "Do not be lazy in your duty, but be eager to follow the Spirit and to serve the Lord"

## In your confidence, rejoice ##

AT: "Be happy because your confidence is in God"

## in your troubles, be patient ##

This can be translated as a new sentence: "Be patient when difficult times come"

## in prayer, be constant ##

This can be translated as a new sentence: "And remember to constantly pray"

## Share in the needs of the saints ##

This is the last item in the list that began in [Romans 12:9](./09.md). "Concerning the needs of the saints, share with them" or "As for…" or "When fellow Christians are in trouble, help them with what they need."

## give yourselves to hospitality ##

AT: "always welcome them into your home when they need somewhere to stay"
