Verses 9-13 are one sentence in Greek with no main verb, though most Eng. versions supply a series of imperatives. The call to love in v. 9a is the main theme of this section and in my analysis all the other clauses in vv. 9b-13 explain how love should be genuine. Paul's explanation of how believers are to pursue genuine love moves from a general orientation toward God and the world (abhoring the evil, clinging to the good) to practical, specific responses to God and to believers (contributing to the needs of the saints, seeking to show hospitality). Every clause in vv. 9b-13 fills out for us what genuine love looks like in action: Pursue genuine love ... by pursing what is good (v. 9), loving with brotherly affection while showing one another honor (v. 10), while serving the Lord with fervency and zeal (v. 11), while rejoicing in hope, enduring tribulation, and praying consistently (v. 12) by sharing your resources and homes with other believers in need (v. 13).
