A comunhão
A comunhão cristã é dom e mandamento. Juntos somos mais fortes. A Bíblia celebra a unidade dos crentes em Cristo como antecipação do céu na terra.
I in them and you in me, that they may become perfectly one, so that the world may know that you sent me and loved them even as you loved me.
A new commandment I give to you, that you love one another: just as I have loved you, you also are to love one another.By this all people will know that you are my disciples, if you have love for one another."
And all who believed were together and had all things in common. And they were selling their possessions and belongings and distributing the proceeds to all, as any had need. And day by day, attending the temple together and breaking bread in their homes, they received their food with glad and generous hearts, praising God and having favor with all the people. And the Lord added to their number day by day those who were being saved.
that which we have seen and heard we proclaim also to you, so that you too may have fellowship with us; and indeed our fellowship is with the Father and with his Son Jesus Christ.
By this we know love, that he laid down his life for us, and we ought to lay down our lives for the brothers.
Therefore encourage one another and build one another up, just as you are doing.
that is, that we may be mutually encouraged by each other’s faith, both yours and mine.
not neglecting to meet together, as is the habit of some, but encouraging one another, and all the more as you see the Day drawing near.
Iron sharpens iron,
and one man sharpens another.
Bear one another’s burdens, and so fulfill the law of Christ.
So then, as we have opportunity, let us do good to everyone, and especially to those who are of the household of faith.
Two are better than one, because they have a good reward for their toil. For if they fall, one will lift up his fellow. But woe to him who is alone when he falls and has not another to lift him up! Again, if two lie together, they keep warm, but how can one keep warm alone? And though a man might prevail against one who is alone, two will withstand him—a threefold cord is not quickly broken.
