"

1)  Listen Without Interrupting
"To answer before listening—that is folly and shame."
       Proverbs 18:13

2)  Speak Without Accusing
"My dear brothers and sisters, take note of this: Everyone should be quick to listen, slow to speak and slow to become angry, because human anger does not produce the righteousness that God desires."
       James 1:19-20

3)  Give Without Sparing
"All day long he craves for more, but the righteous give without sparing."
      Proverbs 21:26

4)  Pray Without Ceasing
"For this reason, since the day we heard about you, we have not stopped praying for you and asking God to fill you with the knowledge of his will through all spiritual wisdom and understanding."
     Colossians 1:9

"Rejoice always, pray continually, give thanks in all circumstances; for this is God’s will for you in Christ Jesus."
    1 Thessalonians 5:16-18

5)  Answer Without Arguing
"Better a dry crust with peace and quiet than a house full of feasting, with strife."
       Proverbs 17:1

 "Better a meal of vegetables where there is love than a fattened calf with hatred." 
      Proverbs 15:17

6)  Share Without Pretending
"Instead, speaking the truth in love, we will grow to become in every respect the mature body of him who is the head, that is, Christ."
      Ephesians 4:15

"In everything I did, I showed you that by this kind of hard work we must help the weak, remembering the words the Lord Jesus himself said: ‘It is more blessed to give than to receive.’
      Acts 20:35

7)   Enjoy Without Complaining
"Do everything without grumbling or arguing, so that you may become blameless and pure, “children of God without fault in a warped and crooked generation.” Then you will shine among them like stars in the sky as you hold firmly to the word of life. And then I will be able to boast on the day of Christ that I did not run or labor in vain."
         Philippians 2:14-16

8)  Trust Without Wavering
"Love bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things."
        1 Corinthians 13:7

9) Forgive Without Punishing
 "Bear with each other and forgive one another if any of you has a grievance against someone. Forgive as the Lord forgave you."
       Colossians 3:13

10)  Promise Without Forgetting
"Hope deferred makes the heart sick, but a longing fulfilled is a tree of life."
          Proverbs 13:12

"Again, you have heard that it was said to the people long ago, ‘Do not break your oath, but fulfill to the Lord the vows you have made.’ But I tell you, do not swear an oath at all: either by heaven, for it is God’s throne; or by the earth, for it is his footstool; or by Jerusalem, for it is the city of the Great King. And do not swear by your head, for you cannot make even one hair white or black. All you need to say is simply ‘Yes’ or ‘No’; anything beyond this comes from the evil one."
       Matthew 5:33-37
