Read Romans 12.9-21. In verses 9-13: Building community.

In verse 12: Hope and suffering: 5.1-5. In verses 14-21: Controlling our impulses. This advice echoes Jewish morality and Jesus teaching. In verse 14: Mt 5.44. In verse 15: Sir 7.34. In verse 16: Living in harmony is threatened by haughty attitudes; it ultimately occurs as a gift from God (15.5). In verse 19: Deut 32.35. In verse 20: Prov 25.21-22. In verse 21: Mt 5.39-41.
