Vizinho
Amar o próximo é um dos mandamentos centrais do evangelho. A Bíblia nos ensina que nossos vizinhos são aqueles a quem devemos servir, apoiar e encorajar com amor genuíno.

Jesus resume a Lei no amor a Deus e ao próximo. Amar o vizinho como a si mesmo é cumprir toda a Lei.
The second is, Love your neighboras yourself.,There is no other commandgreater than these."
For the whole law is fulfilled in one statement: Love your neighbor as yourself.,
The commandments, Do not commit adultery; do not murder; do not steal;do not covet;, and any other commandment, are summed up by this commandment: Love your neighbor as yourself.,
Love does no wrong to a neighbor. Love, therefore, is the fulfillment of the law.
Therefore, whatever you want others to do for you, do also the same for them, for this is the Law and the Prophets.
Amor em ação
O amor verdadeiro se mostra em ações concretas: hospitalidade, generosidade e cuidado com os necessitados ao nosso redor.
Let brotherly love continue. Don’t neglect to show hospitality, for by doing this some have welcomed angels as guests without knowing it.
Pure and undefiled religion before God the Father is this: to look after orphans and widows in their distress and to keep oneself unstained from the world.
Above all, maintain constant love for one another, since love covers a multitude of sins.,
Therefore, as we have opportunity, let us work for the good of all, especially for those who belong to the household of faith.
For this is the message you have heard from the beginning: We should love one another,
"I give you a new command: Love one another. Just as I have loved you, you are also to love one another.
Edificação e encorajamento mútuo
Somos chamados a encorajar uns aos outros, carregar os fardos alheios e buscar o bem do próximo acima do próprio interesse.
Therefore encourage one another and build each other up as you are already doing.
Carry one another’s burdens; in this way you will fulfill the law of Christ.
Each one of us is to please his neighbor for his good, to build him up.
No one is to seek his own good, but the good of the other person.
Love one another deeply as brothers and sisters. Take the lead in honoring one another.
And may the Lord cause you to increase and overflow with love for one another and for everyone, just as we do for you.
Humildade, perdão e convivência
O relacionamento com o próximo exige humildade, paciência e disposição para perdoar. Não devemos julgar, mas acolher com compaixão.
Do nothing out of selfish ambition or conceit, but in humility consider others as more important than yourselves.
bearing with one another and forgiving one another if anyone has a grievance against another. Just as the Lord has forgiven you, so you are also to forgive.
Therefore, let us no longer judge one another. Instead decide never to put a stumbling block or pitfall in the way of your brother or sister.
Therefore, every one of you , who judges is without excuse. For when you judge another, you condemn yourself, since you, the judge, do the same things.
Finally, all of you be like-minded and sympathetic, love one another, and be compassionate and humble,
One person judges one day to be more important than another day. Someone else judges every day to be the same. Let each one be fully convinced in his own mind.
A despairing man should receive loyalty from his friends, ,
even if he abandons the fear of the Almighty.
