encouraging each other

¹¹Because of this, console one another and build up one another, just as you are doing.

²³Let us hold fast to the confession of our hope, without wavering, for he who has promised is faithful. 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.

²⁹Let no evil words proceed from your mouth, but only what is good, toward the edification of faith, so as to bestow grace upon those who listen.

⁸But, before all things, have a constant mutual charity among yourselves. For love covers a multitude of sins. ⁹Show hospitality to one another without complaining. ¹⁰Just as each of you has received grace, minister in the same way to one another, as good stewards of the manifold grace of God.

²Carry one another’s burdens, and so shall you fulfill the law of 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.

⁹Therefore, it is better for two to be together, than for one to be alone. For they have the advantage of their companionship. ¹⁰If one falls, he shall be supported by the other. Woe to one who is alone. For when he falls, he has no one to lift him up. ¹¹And if two are sleeping, they warm one another. How can one person alone be warmed? ¹²And if a man can prevail against one, two may withstand him, and a threefold cord is broken with difficulty.

²⁴And let us be considerate of one another, so as to prompt ourselves to charity and to good works,

¹⁴And we ask you, brothers: correct the disruptive, console the weak-minded, support the sick, be patient with everyone.

²⁵Grief in the heart of a man humbles him. And with a good word he shall be made glad.

¹³So may the God of hope fill you with every joy and with peace in believing, so that you may abound in hope and in the virtue of the Holy Spirit.

¹³Instead, exhort one another every day, while it is still called ‘today,’ so that none of you may become hardened through the falseness of sin.

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.

¹⁶Let the word of Christ live in you in abundance, with all wisdom, teaching and correcting one another, with psalms, hymns, and spiritual canticles, singing to God with the grace in your hearts.

¹⁷Iron sharpens iron, and a man sharpens the countenance of his friend.
