¹ Behold, how good and how pleasant it is For brethren to dwell together in unity!

¹⁰ Now I beseech you, brethren, through 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 perfected together in the same mind and in the same judgment.

² make full my joy, that ye be of the same mind, having the same love, being of one accord, of one mind;

³ `doing' nothing through faction or through vainglory, but in lowliness of mind each counting other better than himself;

⁴ not looking each of you to his own things, but each of you also to the things of others.

⁵ Have this mind in you, which was also in Christ Jesus:

⁸ Finally, `be' ye all likeminded, compassionate, loving as brethren, tenderhearted, humbleminded:

¹⁴ We know that we have passed out of death into life, because we love the brethren. He that loveth not abideth in death.

¹⁵ Whosoever hateth his brother is a murderer: and ye know that no murderer hath eternal life abiding in him.

¹⁶ Hereby know we love, because he laid down his life for us: and we ought to lay down our lives for the brethren.

¹⁷ But whoso hath the world's goods, and beholdeth his brother in need, and shutteth up his compassion from him, how doth the love of God abide in him?

¹⁸ `My' Little children, let us not love in word, neither with the tongue; but in deed and truth.

¹⁹ Hereby shall we know that we are of the truth, and shall assure our heart before him:

¹ Let love of the brethren continue.

³ giving diligence to keep the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace.

⁴ `There is' one body, and one Spirit, even as also ye were called in one hope of your calling;

⁵ one Lord, one faith, one baptism,

⁶ one God and Father of all, who is over all, and through all, and in all.

²¹ that they may all be one; even as thou, Father, `art' in me, and I in thee, that they also may be in us: that the world may believe that thou didst send me.

³⁵ By this shall all men know that ye are my disciples, if ye have love one to another.

¹ I was glad when they said unto me, Let us go unto the house of Jehovah.

³⁹ 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:

⁸ And Abram said unto Lot, Let there be no strife, I pray thee, between me and thee, and between my herdsmen and thy herdsmen; for we are brethren.

⁶ Pray for the peace of Jerusalem: They shall prosper that love thee.

⁷ Peace be within thy walls, And prosperity within thy palaces.

⁸ For my brethren and companions' sakes, I will now say, Peace be within thee.

¹³ The envy also of Ephraim shall depart, and they that vex Judah shall be cut off: Ephraim shall not envy Judah, and Judah shall not vex Ephraim.

⁹ They shall not hurt nor destroy in all my holy mountain; for the earth shall be full of the knowledge of Jehovah, as the waters cover the sea.

⁶ And the wolf 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.

¹ Jehovah, my heart is not haughty, nor mine eyes lofty; Neither do I exercise myself in great matters, Or in things too wonderful for me.

²⁶ 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?

²⁷ And Joab said, As God liveth, if thou hadst not spoken, surely then in the morning the people had gone away, nor followed every one his brother.

²⁴ So he sent his brethren away, and they departed: and he said unto them, See that ye fall not out by the way.

¹ If it had not been Jehovah who was on our side, Let Israel now say,
