being considerate

⁴Let each of you not consider anything to be your own, but rather to belong to others.

³Let nothing be done by contention, nor in vain glory. Instead, in humility, let each of you esteem others to be better than himself. ⁴Let each of you not consider anything to be your own, but rather to belong to others.

²to speak evil of no one, not to be litigious, but to be reserved, displaying all meekness toward all men.

²⁴Let no one seek for himself, but for others.

¹³Support one another, and, if anyone has a complaint against another, forgive one another. For just as the Lord has forgiven you, so also must you do.

¹⁷But within the wisdom that is from above, certainly, chastity is first, and next peacefulness, meekness, openness, consenting to what is good, a plenitude of mercy and good fruits, not judging, without falseness.

³⁶Then Jesus went with them to a garden, which is called Gethsemani. And he said to his disciples, “Sit down here, while I go there and pray.” ³⁷And taking with him Peter and the two sons of Zebedee, he began to be sorrowful and saddened. ³⁸Then he said to them: “My soul is sorrowful, even unto death. Stay here and keep vigil with me.” ³⁹And continuing on a little further, he fell prostrate on his face, praying and saying: “My Father, if it is possible, let this chalice pass away from me. Yet truly, let it not be as I will, but as you will.” ⁴⁰And he approached his disciples and found them sleeping. And he said to Peter: “So, were you not able to keep vigil with me for one hour? ⁴¹Be vigilant and pray, so that you may not enter into temptation. Indeed, the spirit is willing, but the flesh is weak.”

⁸But to those who are contentious and who do not acquiesce to the truth, but instead trust in iniquity, he will render wrath and indignation.

⁸Concerning the rest, brothers, whatever is true, whatever is chaste, whatever is just, whatever is holy, whatever is worthy to be loved, whatever is of good repute, if there is any virtue, if there is any praiseworthy discipline: meditate on these.

¹²Therefore, all things whatsoever that you wish that men would do to you, do so also to them. For this is the law and the prophets.

³²And be kind and merciful to one another, forgiving one another, just as God has forgiven you in Christ.

²⁴And let us be considerate of one another, so as to prompt ourselves to charity and to good works, ²⁵not deserting our assembly, as some are accustomed to do, but consoling one another, and even more so as you see that the day is approaching.

²²But I say to you, that anyone who becomes angry with his brother shall be liable to judgment. But whoever will have called his brother, ‘Idiot,’ shall be liable to the council. Then, whoever will have called him, ‘Worthless,’ shall be liable to the fires of Hell.

¹¹Whoever loves cleanness of heart, because of the grace of his lips, will have the king as his friend.

¹⁴And this is the confidence which we have toward God: that no matter what we shall request, in accord with his will, he hears us. ¹⁵And we know that he hears us, no matter what we request; so we know that we can obtain the things that we request of him.

¹⁶We know the love of God in this way: because he laid down his life for us. And so, we must lay down our lives for our brothers.
