⁸ If anyone has no care for his family and those in his house, he is false to the faith, and is worse than one who has no faith.

⁷ My loved ones, let us have love for one another: because love is of God, and everyone who has love is a child of God and has knowledge of God.

¹⁹ Joining with one another in holy songs of praise and of the Spirit, using your voice in songs and making melody in your heart to the Lord;

¹⁵ And if your brother does wrong to you, go, make clear to him his error between you and him in private: if he gives ear to you, you have got your brother back again.

¹⁶ But if he will not give ear to you, take with you one or two more, that by the lips of two or three witnesses every word may be made certain.

¹⁷ And if he will not give ear to them, let it come to the hearing of the church: and if he will not give ear to the church, let him be to you as a Gentile and a tax-farmer.

⁴⁰ And the King will make answer and say to them, Truly I say to you, Because you did it to the least of these my brothers, you did it to me.

¹⁷ Iron makes iron sharp; so a man makes sharp his friend.

¹⁵ And if your brother does wrong to you, go, make clear to him his error between you and him in private: if he gives ear to you, you have got your brother back again.

¹⁶ But if he will not give ear to you, take with you one or two more, that by the lips of two or three witnesses every word may be made certain.

¹⁷ And if he will not give ear to them, let it come to the hearing of the church: and if he will not give ear to the church, let him be to you as a Gentile and a tax-farmer.

¹⁸ Truly I say to you, Whatever things are fixed by you on earth will be fixed in heaven: and whatever you make free on earth will be made free in heaven.

¹⁹ Again, I say to you, that if two of you are in agreement on earth about anything for which they will make a request, it will be done for them by my Father in heaven.

²⁰ For where two or three are come together in my name, there am I among them.

²¹ Then Peter came and said to him, Lord, what number of times may my brother do wrong against me, and I give him forgiveness? till seven times?

²⁵ Not giving up our meetings, as is the way of some, but keeping one another strong in faith; and all the more because you see the day coming near.

³⁵ So will my Father in heaven do to you, if you do not everyone, from your hearts, give forgiveness to his brother.

²² And as you have made your souls clean, being ruled by what is true, and loving one another without deceit, see that your love is warm and from the heart:

¹⁶ Let the word of Christ be in you in all wealth of wisdom; teaching and helping one another with songs of praise and holy words, making melody to God with grace in your hearts.

¹⁷ A friend is loving at all times, and becomes a brother in times of trouble.

¹⁰ Do not give up your friend and your father's friend; and do not go into your brother's house in the day of your trouble: better is a neighbour who is near than a brother far off.

³⁵ Whoever does God's pleasure, the same is my brother, and sister, and mother.

¹ Everyone who has faith that Jesus is the Christ is a child of God: and everyone who has love for the Father has love for his child.

²⁴ There are friends who may be a man's destruction, but there is a lover who keeps nearer than a brother.

³⁴ I give you a new law: Have love one for another; even as I have had love for you, so are you to have love one for another.

³⁵ By this it will be clear to all men that you are my disciples, if you have love one for another.

³⁶ Simon Peter said to him, Lord, where are you going? Jesus said in answer, Where I am going you may not come with me now, but you will come later.

¹ Do not say sharp words to one who has authority in the church, but let your talk be as to a father, and to the younger men as to brothers:

² To the older women as to mothers, to the younger as to sisters, with a clean heart.

³ Give honour to widows who are truly widows.

¹⁰ He who has love for his brother is in the light, and there is no cause of error in him.

²⁰ If a man says, I have love for God, and has hate for his brother, his words are false: for how is the man who has no love for his brother whom he has seen, able to have love for God whom he has not seen?
