Show mercy and compassion to one another
Do to others as you would have them do to you
January 25, 2021They encouraged one another
January 26, 2021And let us consider how we may spur one another on toward love and good deeds, not giving up meeting together, as some are in the habit of doing, but encouraging one another—and all the more as you see the Day approaching. … I am not writing you a new command but one we have had from the beginning. I ask that we love one another.
At one time we too were foolish, disobedient, deceived and enslaved by all kinds of passions and pleasures. We lived in malice and envy, being hated and hating one another.
Do not steal. Do not lie. Do not deceive one another. … Administer true justice; show mercy and compassion to one another. … Do not let any unwholesome talk come out of your mouths, but only what is helpful for building others up according to their needs, that it may benefit those who listen. … do not plot evil against each other, and do not love to swear falsely. I hate all this, declares the LORD.
Brothers and sisters, do not slander one another. Anyone who speaks against a brother or sister or judges them speaks against the law and judges it. When you judge the law, you are not keeping it, but sitting in judgment on it. … Therefore let us stop passing judgment on one another. Instead, make up your mind not to put any stumbling block or obstacle in the way of a brother or sister.
Do not forget to show hospitality to strangers, for by so doing some people have shown hospitality to angels without knowing it. … Do not repay evil with evil or insult with insult. On the contrary, repay evil with blessing, because to this you were called so that you may inherit a blessing. … Don’t grumble against one another, brothers and sisters, or you will be judged. The Judge is standing at the door!
