When Brothers Dwell in Unity
A Song of bAscents. Of David.
1 Behold, how good and pleasant it iswhen cbrothers dwell in unity! ▼
▼Or dwell together
2It is like the precious eoil on fthe head,
running down on the beard,
on the beard of Aaron,
running down on gthe collar of his robes!
3It is like hthe dew of iHermon,
which falls on jthe mountains of Zion!
For there the Lord khas commanded the blessing,
life forevermore.
Mark 9:50
50 lSalt is good, mbut if the salt has lost its saltiness, how will you make it salty again? nHave salt in yourselves, and obe at peace with one another.”Romans 12:16-18
16 pLive in harmony with one another. qDo not be haughty, but associate with the lowly. ▼▼Or give yourselves to humble tasks
sNever be wise in your own sight. 17 tRepay no one evil for evil, but ugive thought to do what is honorable in the sight of all. 18If possible, so far as it depends on you, vlive peaceably with all. 1 Corinthians 1:10
Divisions in the Church
10I appeal to you, brothers, ▼▼Or brothers and sisters. The plural Greek word adelphoi (translated “brothers”) refers to siblings in a family. In New Testament usage, depending on the context, adelphoi may refer either to men or to both men and women who are siblings (brothers and sisters) in God’s family, the church; also verses 11, 26
by the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that all of you agree, and that there be no xdivisions among you, but that you be united yin the same mind and the same judgment. Philippians 2:2-3
2 zcomplete my joy by being aaof the same mind, having the same love, being in full accord and of one mind. 3Do nothing from abselfish ambition or acconceit, but in adhumility count others more significant than yourselves.Philippians 3:16
16Only aelet us hold true to what we have attained.
