THE ONE ANOTHERS

Greet one another with a holy kiss.

Accept one another, then, just as Christ accepted you, in order to bring praise to God.

Above all, love each other deeply, because love covers over a multitude of sins. Offer hospitality to one another without grumbling.
1 Peter 4:8-9
- ENCOURAGE One Another.
Therefore, encourage one another and build each other up, just as in fact you are doing.
1 Thessalonians 5:11
See to it, brothers and sisters, that none of you has a sinful, unbelieving heart that turns away from the living God. But encourage one another daily, as long as it is called “Today,” so that none of you may be hardened by sin’s deceitfulness.
Hebrews 3:12-13 (Hebrews 10:24-25)
- HONOR one another.
Love must be sincere. Hate what is evil; cling to what is good. Be devoted to one another in love. Honor one another above yourselves.
Romans 12:9-10
- Fight for PEACE with one another.
If it is possible, as far as it depends on you, live at peace with everyone.

2 Corinthians 13:11
- Speak LIFE, not DEATH, to (about) One Another.
Brothers and sisters, do not slander one another. Anyone who speaks against a brother or sister or judges them speaks against the law and judges it. When you judge the law, you are not keeping it, but sitting in judgment on it.
James 4:11 (Romans 14:12-13; Colossians 3:9-10)
Don’t grumble against one another, brothers and sisters, or you will be judged. The Judge is standing at the door!
James 5:9
- BEAR with & FORGIVE One Another.
Therefore, as God’s chosen people, holy and dearly loved, clothe yourselves with compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness and patience. Bear with each other and forgive one another if any of you has a grievance against someone. Forgive as the Lord forgave you. And over all these virtues put on love, which binds them all together in perfect unity.
Colossians 3:12-14 (Ephesians 4:1-3; Galatians 6:1-2)
Do not let any unwholesome talk come out of your mouths, but only what is helpful for building others up according to their needs, that it may benefit those who listen. And do not grieve the Holy Spirit of God, with whom you were sealed for the day of redemption. Get rid of all bitterness, rage and anger, brawling and slander, along with every form of malice. Be kind and compassionate to one another, forgiving each other, just as in Christ God forgave you.
Ephesians 4:29-32
Loving one another is IMPOSSIBLE without the EMPOWERING of the Holy Spirit.
Who is the “other” we are called to one another?
