sibling love

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?

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

¹⁷Whoever is a friend loves at all times. And a brother is proved by distress.

¹⁴The Lord will fight on your behalf, and you will remain silent.”

⁸But, before all things, have a constant mutual charity among yourselves. For love covers a multitude of sins.

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.

¹²in hope, rejoicing; in tribulation, enduring; in prayer, ever-willing;

¹⁰loving one another with fraternal charity, surpassing one another in honor:

¹⁴We know that we have passed from death to life. For we love as brothers. Whoever does not love, abides in death.

²Most beloved, we are now the sons of God. But what we shall be then has not yet appeared. We know that when he does appear, we shall be like him, for we shall see him as he is. ³And everyone who holds this hope in him, keeps himself holy, just as he also is holy.

¹A Canticle in steps: of David. Behold, how good and how pleasing it is for brothers to dwell in unity.
