When Brothers Dwell in Unity

A Song of ^eAscents. Of David.

1 Behold, how good and pleasant it is
when ^fbrothers dwell in unity! ^{▼▼Or dwell together}
2 It is like the precious ^hoil on ⁱthe head,
running down on the beard,
on the beard of Aaron,
running down on ^jthe collar of his robes!
3 It is like ^kthe dew of ^lHermon,
which falls on ^mthe mountains of Zion!
For there the Lord ⁿhas commanded the blessing,
life forevermore.

John 13:34-35

34 ^oA new commandment ^pI give to you, ^qthat you love one another: ^rjust as I have loved you, you also are to love one another. 35 ^sBy this all people will know that you are my disciples, if you have love for one another.”

Ephesians 4:31-32

31 ^tLet all bitterness and wrath and anger and clamor and slander be put away from you, along with all malice. 32 ^uBe kind to one another, tenderhearted, ^vforgiving one another, as God in Christ forgave you.

Philippians 2:2-5

2 ^wcomplete my joy by being ^xof the same mind, having the same love, being in full accord and of one mind. 3 Do nothing from ^yselfish ambition or ^zconceit, but in ^aahumility count others more significant than yourselves. 4 Let each of you ^ablook not only to his own interests, but also to the interests of others. 5 ^acHave this mind among yourselves, which is yours in Christ Jesus, ^{▼▼Or which was also in Christ Jesus}
