Irmãos
A comunhão entre irmãos é marca da igreja verdadeira. A Bíblia nos chama a amar uns aos outros como Cristo nos amou — com perdão, encorajamento e cuidado mútuo.
Amor fraternal
Um novo mandamento vos dou: que vos ameis uns aos outros. Nisto conhecerão que sois meus discípulos — pelo amor entre vós.
A new commandment I give unto you, That you2f love one another; as I have loved you, that you2f also love one another.
By this shall all [men] know that you2f are my disciples, if you2f have love one to another.
Beloved, let us love one another: for love is of God-The Father; and every one that loves is born of God-The Father, and knows God-The Father.
If a man say, I love God-The Father, and hates his brother, he is a liar: for he that loves not his brother whom he has seen, how can he love God-The Father whom he has not seen?
He that loves his brother abides in the light, and there is none occasion of stumbling in him.
Whosoever believes that Yeshua [God is Salvation] is the Moshiach [Messiah] is born of God-The Father: and every one that loves him that begat (to be father of; be ancestor of) loves him also that is begotten of him.
Seeing you2f have purified your souls in obeying the tthrough the Spirit [Ruach] unto unfeigned love of the brethren, [see that you2f] love one another with a pure heart fervently:
Comunhão e edificação
Não abandoneis a congregação. Encorajem-se mutuamente, cantem juntos e instruam-se na Palavra de Cristo.
Not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together, as the manner of some [is]; but exhorting [one another]: and so much the more, as you2f see the day approaching.
Let the word of Moshiach [Messiah] dwell in you richly in all wisdom; teaching and admonishing one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing with grace in your hearts to the Lord - Kurios.
Speaking to yourselves in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing and making melody in your heart to the Lord - Kurios;
Just as iron sharpens iron; so a man sharpens the Countenance (Face, appearance; show favor) of his friend.
A friend loves at all times, and a brother is born for adversity.
A man [that has] friends must show himself friendly: and there is a friend [that] sticks closer than a brother.
You1s own friend, and youi father’s friend, forsake not; neither go into youi brother’s house in the day of youi calamity: [for] better [is] a neighbour [that is] near than a brother far off.
Perdão e reconciliação
Se o teu irmão pecar contra ti, vai e repreende-o a sós. O perdão e a reconciliação preservam a unidade do corpo de Cristo.
At that time Yeshua [God is Salvation] said to Shim’on [he has heard]; called Kefa [pebble] "If your brother sins against you, reprove him privately. If he listens to you, you have gained your brother".
"If he does not listen to you, reprove him before another; if by every oath he does not listen to you, add still one or two in order that your words might be before two or three witnesses, because by two or three witnesses a word will be established".

"If by every oath he does not listen, tell it in the assembly; and if he does not listen to the assembly consider him as ostracized, an enemy and cruel".
"Truly I say to you that every oath which you shall bind on earth will be bound in heaven and every oath which you shall loose on earth will be loosed in heaven".
"Also, I say to you, if two of you wish to make peace on earth, everything which you ask will be yours from my Father Who is in heaven".
"In every place where two or three are gathered together in my name there am I in their midst".
"Thus will my Father Who is in heaven do to you if you do not forgive each man his brother with a perfect heart"
"The King will answer and say to them: ‘Truly I say to you that every time you did it to one of the needy of these my brethren, even the little ones like these, you did it to me’".
For whosoever shall do the will of God-Theos, the same is my brother, and my sister, and mother.
youi shall not hate youi brother in youi heart: youi shall in any wise rebuke (reprimand; strongly warn; restrain) youi neighbour, and not suffer sin upon him.
Rebuke (reprimand; strongly warn; restrain) not an elder, but intreat [him] as a father; [and] the younger men as brethren;
The elder women as mothers; the younger as sisters, with all purity.
But if any provide not for his own, and specially for those of his own house, he has denied the faith, and is worse than an unbeliever.
