- Do not lie to one another, since you have put off the old man with his deeds, and have put on the new man who is renewed in knowledge according to the image of Him who created him.
- And may the Lord make you increase and abound in love to one another and to all, just as we do to you.
- Thus says the Lord of hosts:
‘Execute true justice,
Show mercy and compassion
Everyone to his brother.
Do not oppress the widow or the fatherless,
The alien or the poor.
Let none of you plan evil in his heart
Against his brother.’ - Finally, all of you be of one mind, having compassion for one another; love as brothers, be tenderhearted, be courteous.
- Two are better than one,
Because they have a good reward for their labor. - Beloved, if God so loved us, we also ought to love one another.
- A man who has friends must himself be friendly,
But there is a friend who sticks closer than a brother. - Therefore receive one another, just as Christ also received us, to the glory of God.
- My little children, let us not love in word or in tongue, but in deed and in truth.
- Receive one who is weak in the faith, but not to disputes over doubtful things.
- No one has seen God at any time. If we love one another, God abides in us, and His love has been perfected in us.
- With all lowliness and gentleness, with longsuffering, bearing with one another in love.
- For as by one man’s disobedience many were made sinners, so also by one Man’s obedience many will be made righteous.
- That I may come to you with joy by the will of God, and may be refreshed together with you.
- Be of the same mind toward one another. Do not set your mind on high things, but associate with the humble. Do not be wise in your own opinion.
- Who exchanged the truth of God for the lie, and worshiped and served the creature rather than the Creator, who is blessed forever. Amen. For this reason God gave them up to vile passions. For even their women exchanged the natural use for what is against nature. Likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust for one another, men with men committing what is shameful, and receiving in themselves the penalty of their error which was due. And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a debased mind, to do those things which are not fitting.
- Therefore let us not judge one another anymore, but rather resolve this, not to put a stumbling block or a cause to fall in our brother’s way.
- For we all stumble in many things. If anyone does not stumble in word, he is a perfect man, able also to bridle the whole body.
- These all continued with one accord in prayer and supplication, with the women and Mary the mother of Jesus, and with His brothers.
- But if we walk in the light as He is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus Christ His Son cleanses us from all sin.
- Moreover if your brother sins against you, go and tell him his fault between you and him alone. If he hears you, you have gained your brother.
- For God is not unjust to forget your work and labor of love which you have shown toward His name, in that you have ministered to the saints, and do minister.
- For as we have many members in one body, but all the members do not have the same function, so we, being many, are one body in Christ, and individually members of one another.
- He is despised and rejected by men,
A Man of sorrows and acquainted with grief.
And we hid, as it were, our faces from Him;
He was despised, and we did not esteem Him. - Let brotherly love continue. Do not forget to entertain strangers, for by so doing some have unwittingly entertained angels.
