Therefore encourage one another and build one another up, just as you are doing.

and let us consider how to stir up one another to love and good works,

Keep your life free from love of money, and be content with what you have; for he has said, "I will never fail you nor forsake you."

Unfaithful creatures! Do you not know that friendship with the world is enmity with God? Therefore whoever wishes to be a friend of the world makes himself an enemy of God.

Do not speak evil against one another, brethren. He that speaks evil against a brother or judges his brother, speaks evil against the law and judges the law. But if you judge the law, you are not a doer of the law but a judge.

and the scripture was fulfilled which says, "Abraham believed God, and it was reckoned to him as righteousness"; and he was called the friend of God.

Above all hold unfailing your love for one another, since love covers a multitude of sins.

If any one says, "I love God," and hates his brother, he is a liar; for he who does not love his brother whom he has seen, cannot love God whom he has not seen.

Beloved, if God so loved us, we also ought to love one another.

Beloved, let us love one another; for love is of God, and he who loves is born of God and knows God.
