brothers and sisters

¹⁰So then, why do you judge your brother? Or why do you despise your brother? For we shall all stand before the judgment seat of Christ. ¹¹For it is written: “As I live, says the Lord, every knee shall bend to me, and every tongue shall confess to God.” ¹²And so, each one of us shall offer an explanation of himself to God.

²⁰If anyone says that he loves God, but hates his brother, then he is a liar. For he who does not love his brother, whom he does see, in what way can he love God, whom he does not see?

¹⁶Therefore, confess your sins to one another, and pray for one another, so that you may be saved. For the unremitting prayer of a just person prevails over many things.

¹⁴My brothers, what benefit is there if someone claims to have faith, but he does not have works? How would faith be able to save him? ¹⁵So if a brother or sister is naked and daily in need of food, ¹⁶and if anyone of you were to say to them: “Go in peace, keep warm and nourished,” and yet not give them the things that are necessary for the body, of what benefit is this? ¹⁷Thus even faith, if it does not have works, is dead, in and of itself.

⁹I have become a stranger to my brothers and a sojourner to the sons of my mother.

¹²Honor your father and your mother, so that you may have a long life upon the land, which the Lord your God will give to you.

⁷Ask, and it shall be given to you. Seek, and you shall find. Knock, and it shall be opened to you.

¹⁹Honor your father and your mother. And, you shall love your neighbor as yourself.”

³⁶Whoever believes in the Son has eternal life. But whoever is unbelieving toward the Son shall not see life; instead the wrath of God remains upon him.”

¹²And there is no salvation in any other. For there is no other name under heaven given to men, by which it is necessary for us to be saved.”
