I was glad when they said unto me, Let us go into the house of the LORD.

If it had not been the LORD who was on our side, now may Israel say;

LORD, my heart is not haughty, nor mine eyes lofty: neither do I exercise myself in great matters, or in things too high for me.

Pray for the peace of Jerusalem: they shall prosper that love thee.

For my brethren and companions' sakes, I will now say, Peace be within thee.

And Abram said unto Lot, Let there be no strife, I pray thee, between me and thee, and between my herdmen and thy herdmen; for we be brethren.

So he sent his brethren away, and they departed: and he said unto them, See that ye fall not out by the way.

Then Abner called to Joab, and said, Shall the sword devour for ever? knowest thou not that it will be bitterness in the latter end? how long shall it be then, ere thou bid the people return from following their brethren?

And Joab said, As God liveth, unless thou hadst spoken, surely then in the morning the people had gone up every one from following his brother.

The wolf also shall dwell with the lamb, and the leopard shall lie down with the kid; and the calf and the young lion and the fatling together; and a little child shall lead them.

They shall not hurt nor destroy in all my holy mountain: for the earth shall be full of the knowledge of the LORD, as the waters cover the sea.

The envy also of Ephraim shall depart, and the adversaries of Judah shall be cut off: Ephraim shall not envy Judah, and Judah shall not vex Ephraim.

And I will give them one heart, and one way, that they may fear me for ever, for the good of them, and of their children after them:

By this shall all men know that ye are my disciples, if ye have love one to another.

That they all may be one; as thou, Father, art in me, and I in thee, that they also may be one in us: that the world may believe that thou hast sent me.

Now I beseech you, brethren, by the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that ye all speak the same thing, and that there be no divisions among you; but that ye be perfectly joined together in the same mind and in the same judgment.

Endeavouring to keep the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace.

One Lord, one faith, one baptism,

Fulfil ye my joy, that ye be likeminded, having the same love, being of one accord, of one mind.

Look not every man on his own things, but every man also on the things of others.

Let brotherly love continue.

Finally, be ye all of one mind, having compassion one of another, love as brethren, be pitiful, be courteous:

We know that we have passed from death unto life, because we love the brethren. He that loveth not his brother abideth in death.

Hereby perceive we the love of God, because he laid down his life for us: and we ought to lay down our lives for the brethren.

My little children, let us not love in word, neither in tongue; but in deed and in truth.
