Finally, all of you be like-minded, compassionate, loving as brothers, tenderhearted, courteous,

doing nothing through rivalry or through conceit, but in humility, each counting others better than himself;

Honor all men. Love the brotherhood. Fear God. Honor the king.

It shall happen, if you shall listen diligently to Yahweh your God’s voice, to observe to do all his commandments which I command you today, that Yahweh your God will set you high above all the nations of the earth.

Woe to those who are wise in their own eyes, and prudent in their own sight!

saying, “The scribes and the Pharisees sat on Moses’ seat.

Whoever listens to you listens to me, and whoever rejects you rejects me. Whoever rejects me rejects him who sent me.”

For I don’t desire you to be ignorant, brothers, of this mystery, so that you won’t be wise in your own conceits, that a partial hardening has happened to Israel, until the fullness of the Gentiles has come in,

Now I beg you, brothers, through the name of our Lord, Jesus Christ, that you all speak the same thing, and that there be no divisions among you, but that you be perfected together in the same mind and in the same judgment.

But concerning brotherly love, you have no need that one write to you. For you yourselves are taught by God to love one another,

Be free from the love of money, content with such things as you have, for he has said, “I will in no way leave you, neither will I in any way forsake you.”

Beloved, if God loved us in this way, we also ought to love one another.

How then can man be just with God? Or how can he who is born of a woman be clean?

Behold, I was born in iniquity. My mother conceived me in sin.

See how good and how pleasant it is for brothers to live together in unity!

Don’t weary yourself to be rich. In your wisdom, show restraint.

Do you see a man wise in his own eyes? There is more hope for a fool than for him.

I and the Father are one.”

Most certainly I tell you, he who receives whomever I send, receives me; and he who receives me, receives him who sent me.”

A new commandment I give to you, that you love one another. Just as I have loved you, you also love one another.

They will put you out of the synagogues. Yes, the time comes that whoever kills you will think that he offers service to God.

Let no one deceive himself. If anyone thinks that he is wise among you in this world, let him become a fool, that he may become wise.

I exhort Euodia, and I exhort Syntyche, to think the same way in the Lord.

Seeing you have purified your souls in your obedience to the truth through the Spirit in sincere brotherly affection, love one another from the heart fervently,

In love of the brothers be tenderly affectionate to one another; in honor preferring one another;

Do all things without complaining and arguing,

not as lording it over those entrusted to you, but making yourselves examples to the flock.

“Whoever receives one such little child in my name, receives me, and whoever receives me, doesn’t receive me, but him who sent me.”

Be of the same mind one toward another. Don’t set your mind on high things, but associate with the humble. Don’t be wise in your own conceits.

We therefore ought to receive such, that we may be fellow workers for the truth.
