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 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. By this will kol Bnei Adam have da’as that my talmidim you are, if ahavah you have one for the other.
Chaverim, let us have ahavah one for another, because ahavah is of Hashem, and everyone having ahavah has been born of Hashem and has da’as of Hashem.
If anyone says I have ahavah for Hashem and the Ach b’Moshiach he hates, he is a shakran (liar). For the one not having ahavah for the Ach b’Moshiach of him whom he has seen, how can he have ahavah for the Elohim whom he has not seen?
The one with ahavah for the Ach b’Moshiach of him makes his maon (dwelling, permanent residence) in the Ohr (Light), and a cause for michshol (stumbling, falling) is not in him.
Everyone with emunah that Yehoshua (Yeshua) is the Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach has been born of Hashem, and everyone having ahavah for the One having begotten has also ahavah for the one begotten by Him.
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.
Comunhão e edificação
Não abandoneis a congregação. Encorajem-se mutuamente, cantem juntos e instruam-se na Palavra de Cristo.
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.
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.
Speaking to one another in Tehillim and shirim and hymns and neshamah niggunim mi Ruach Hakodesh (soul melodies from the Ruach Hakodesh), singing and making melody in your levavot to Adonoi,
Barzel (iron) sharpeneth barzel (iron);
so one ish sharpeneth another.
The re’a (friend) loveth at all times,
and a brother is born for tzarah (adversity).
An ish of many companions may come to ruin,
but there is an ohev (friend) that sticketh closer than a brother.
Thine own re’a (friend),
and the re’a avicha, forsake not;
neither go into thy brotherʼs bais in the yom of thy calamity;
for better is a shakhen (neighbor) 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.
And if your Ach b’Moshiach sins against you, go and reprove him in private, just between the two of you; if he listens to you, you have gained your Ach b’Moshiach. But if he does not listen to you, take one or two more Achim b’Moshiach with you, so that by the PI SHNAYIM SHLOSHAH EDIM (by the mouth of two or three witnesses) every word shall be established.
And if your Ach b’Moshiach sins against you, go and reprove him in private, just between the two of you; if he listens to you, you have gained your Ach b’Moshiach. But if he does not listen to you, take one or two more Achim b’Moshiach with you, so that by the PI SHNAYIM SHLOSHAH EDIM (by the mouth of two or three witnesses) every word shall be established. But if he refuses to listen to them, speak to the shtiebel kehillah, and if he even refuses to hear the kehillah, let him be to you as the Goy (heathen, pagan) and the moches (tax-collector). Omein, I say to you, whatever you bind as asur (prohibited) on haaretz will have been bound in Shomayim, and whatever you permit as mutar on haaretz is mutar (permitted) in Shomayim. Again, omein, I say to you, that if two of you will be in agreement about anything on haaretz that you petition for, it will be done for them by Avi sh’ba’Shomayim. For where two or three are gathered as a Chavurah and are a Kehillah in my name, there I am in the midst of them.
Thus also Avi sh’ba’Shomayim will do to you, unless you grant selicha (forgiveness), each one to his brother from your lev (heart).
And in reply, HaMelech will say to them, Omein, I say to you, in as much as you did it to one of the least of these achim of mine, you did it to me.
For whoever does the ratzon Hashem, this one is my brother and my sister and mother.
Thou shalt not hate thy brother in thine lev; thou shalt in any wise rebuke thy neighbor, and not bear chet because of him.
To a Zaken do not speak harsh rebuke. Rather entreat him as an abba. Treat the bochrim as achim (brothers). Elderly nashim treat as imahot (mothers); younger nashim as achayot (sisters) in all hatohar (moral purity).
But if anyone does not get a parnasah to provide for his own mishpochah and especially his own bais, he has denied the emunah and is worse than an Apikoros (skeptic, unbeliever).
