Comunhão com os irmãos
A comunhão com os irmãos é marca da igreja verdadeira. Os cristãos primevos perseveravam na comunhão — partindo pão, orando e encorajando-se mutuamente.
Comunhão verdadeira
Perseveravam na doutrina dos apóstolos e na comunhão. A comunhão autêntica envolve amor sacrificial e acolhimento mútuo.
Those, who were mekabel Besuras HaGeulah and welcomed his dvar, submitted to a tevilah of teshuva and there were added in that day nefashot (souls) beerech (approximately, dacht zich) shloshet alafim (three thousand).
And they were keseder (constantly) shtark (steadfastly) devoting themselves to the Moshiachʼs pnimiyus (innermost) Torah as handed on by Moshiachʼs Shlichim (emmisaries of the Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach) and to being mishtatef (involved, joining) in the Messianic Chavurah (fellowship, company, group), and to the tishen (shared meals) with Betzi’at HaLechem (Breaking Bread) at the Seudos Moshiach and to the Tefillos. All were filled with yirat Shomayim and were nispoyel (in awe), and many moftim and otot through Moshiachʼs Shlichim were taking place. And all the [Jewish] Ma’aminim HaMeshichiyim were together and they were having all things in common. And they were selling their properties and possessions and were distributing tzedakah to everyone as someone had need. And yom yom, devoting themselves with one mind in the courts of the Beis Hamikdash, and from bais to bais, offering the Betzi’at HaLechem, they were together at tish with single-hearted exultation and hitlahavut. Praising Hashem, and having favor with all the people while G-d was adding to their number yom yom those receiving yeshu’at Eloheinu.
And let us consider how to meorer (stimulate, motivate, shtarken) one another to ahavah and mitzvos, And let us not turn away and defect from our noiheg (habitually) conducted daily minyan, as some are doing; let us impart chizzuk (strengthening, encouragement) to one another, and by so much the more as you see the Yom approaching.
(Shir HaMa’alot, of Dovid)
Hinei, mah tov umah na’im shevet achim gahm yachad!
(how good and how pleasant it is for brethren to dwell together in unity)!
It is like the precious shemen upon the rosh,
that ran down upon the beard,
even Aharonʼs beard;
that went down to the collar of his robes;
As the tal of Chermon,
and as the dew that descended upon the mountains of Tziyon;
for there Hashem commanded the brocha,
even Chayyim Ad Olam.
But it was thou, an enosh (a man) equally,
my aluf (intimate, friend), and me’yuda’i (deep acquaintance, familiar friend).
Two are better than one because they have a sachar tov for their amal. For if they fall, the echad will lift up his partner, but woe to him that is alone when he falleth; for he hath not another to help him up. Also, if two lie down, then they have chom (heat), but how can one be warm alone? Though echad may be overpowered, shnayim shall withstand him; and a khoot hameshulash (threefold cord) is not quickly broken.
Amor fraternal
Amai-vos com amor fraternal sincero. Encorajem-se mutuamente e carreguem os fardos uns dos outros.
Having purified your nefashot (souls) by mishma’at (obedience) to HaEmes, resulting in ahavah shel achvah (brotherly love) without tzevi’ut (hypocrisy), have fervent ahavah (agape) for one another, from a lev tahor.
Practice hachnosas orchim (hospitality) with one another without kevetching,
Show mishpochah (family) affection to one another in ahavah shel achvah (brotherly love). Be first in esteeming one another, in showing mutual respect.
If, therefore, there is any idud (encouragement) in Moshiach, if any nechamah (comfort) of ahavah (love), if any deveykus (attachment to G-d) in the Messianic chavrusashaft (association) of the Ruach Hakodesh, if any warmth of affection and rachamanut (compassion, mercy), Then make my simcha (joy) shleimah (complete) by having the same lev, the same ahavah, being an agudah association with one neshamah, thinking the same machshavot (thoughts),
Let the dvar of Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach make its mishkan in you richly, in all chochmah and in all Moshiachʼs pnimiyus haTorah (innermost Torah teaching) and words of chizzuk, ministering to one another with Tehillim, shirim, and neshamah niggunim miRuach Hakodesh (soul melodies from the Ruach Hakodesh) with gratitude, singing in your levavot to Hashem.
And have Chen v’Chesed graciousness with one another. Be kind, tender-hearted, forgiving each other, as also Hashem in Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach forgave you.
For, Achim B’Moshiach, you were called for "zman Cheruteinu"; only use not the Cherut for a pretext for the basar, but, through ahavah (agape), minister to one another as avadim (servants).
Therefore, give chozek (strength) and encouragement, building up one another, as indeed you are doing.
If we make the claim that we have deveykus with Him and in the choshech walk, we speak sheker and have no halakhah in the Derech Emes. But if our halakhah is in the Ohr as He is in the Ohr, we have hitkhabrut (joining, adhesion, fellowship) with one another and the dahm of Yehoshua, HaBen of Hashem, gives us tohorah (cleansing) from kol chet.
For the rest, Achim b’Moshiach, rejoice with simcha. Come to order and chazzak (be strong)! Have achdus (unity) in your machshavot (thoughts). Live in shalom. And the G-d of ahavah and shalom will be with you.
A mitzvah chadasha I give to you, that you have ahavah (agape) one for the other, as I have had ahavah (agape) for you, so also you have ahavah (agape) one for the other.
