One Anothers

The infamous "one anothers" I keep referring to... (a pastor we had about 30 years ago brought these to everyone's attention.) These are for every member of the Body of Christ - they're not focus group specific, gift/leadership/layman specific, or even age specific. They maybe not even believer specific, just one-anothers! You'll catch the heart of it.

These are from the Epistles. It's interesting to look at one anothers in the OT and Gospels, too. These are to-do one anothers as opposed to not-to-do's and (absolutely) read them in context. (NIV)

"Be devoted to one another in brotherly love." Romans 12:10

"Honor one another above yourselves." Romans 12:10

"Live in harmony with one another." Romans 12:16, I Pet. 3:8

"Let no debt remain outstanding, except the continuing debt to love one another..." Romans 13: 8 et al

"Accept one another, . .. just as Christ accepted you..." Romans 15:7

"full of goodness, complete in knowledge, competent to instruct one another." (read it in context) Romans 15:14

"agree with one another" I Cor. 1:10

"serve one another in love" Gal. 5:12-14

"bear with one another in love" Eph. 4:2

"Be kind and compassionate to one another, forgiving one another, just as in Christ God forgave you." Eph 4:32, I Pe 1:22

"Speak to one another in psalms, hymns, and spiritual songs. Sing and make music in your heart to the Lord." Eph. 5:19

"Submit to one another out of reverence for Christ." Eph. 5:21.

"Bear with each other and forgive whatever grievances you may have against one another ..."Col 3:13

"Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly as you teach and admonish one another with all wisdom, and as you sing psalms, hymns and spiritual songs with gratitude in your hearts to God." Col 3:16

"Encourage one another and build each other up." I Thess. 5:11

"encourage one another daily." Heb. 3:13

"let us consider how we may spur one another on toward love and good deeds." "encourage one another" Heb. 10:24-25

"Offer hospitality to one another without grumbling." I Pet 4:9

"clothe yourselves with humility towards one another." I Pet. 5:5

and there are a couple more...
