<p>1:8- see on Rom. 12:13.</p><p><i>But given to hospitality, a lover of good, self controlled, just, holy, disciplined</i><i>- </i>Literally, a lover of <i>xenos</i>, the very opposite to a xenophobe. This was a significant characteristic for a Christian to have, when most people were extremely insular and parochial, feeling negatively towards all from outside their immediate experience or geography. The same basic mentality is in us all, but in Christ we are not to be like that but the opposite, as recipients of the Lord's outgoing love toward us.</p>
