¹¹ Therefore exhort one another, and build each other up, even as you also do.

⁹ Be hospitable one to another without grumbling.

¹ > See how good and how pleasant it is For brothers to live together in unity!

² It is like the precious oil on the head, That ran down on the beard, Even Aaron's beard; That came down on the edge of his robes;

³ Like the dew of Hermon, That comes down on the hills of Zion: For there Yahweh gives the blessing, Even life forevermore.

¹³ For you, brothers, were called for freedom. Only don't use your freedom for gain to the flesh, but through love be servants to one another.

²⁴ Let us consider how to provoke one another to love and good works,

²⁵ not forsaking our own assembling together, as the custom of some is, but exhorting one another; and so much the more, as you see the Day approaching.

²⁶ For if we sin willfully after we have received the knowledge of the truth, there remains no more a sacrifice for sins,

¹⁰ In love of the brothers be tenderly affectionate one to another; in honor preferring one another;

³² And be kind to one another, tenderhearted, forgiving each other, just as God also in Christ forgave you.

⁴¹ Then those who gladly received his word were baptized. There were added that day about three thousand souls.

⁴² They continued steadfastly in the apostles' teaching and fellowship, in the breaking of bread, and prayer.

⁴³ Fear came on every soul, and many wonders and signs were done through the apostles.

⁴⁴ All who believed were together, and had all things in common.

⁴⁵ They sold their possessions and goods, and distributed them to all, according as anyone had need.

⁴⁶ Day by day, continuing steadfastly with one accord in the temple, and breaking bread at home, they took their food with gladness and singleness of heart,

⁴⁷ praising God, and having favor with all the people. The Lord added to the assembly day by day those who were being saved.

⁶ If we say that we have fellowship with him and walk in the darkness, we lie, and don't tell the truth.

⁷ But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus Christ, his Son, cleanses us from all sin.

⁸ If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us.

¹¹ Finally, brothers, rejoice. Be perfected, be comforted, be of the same mind, live in peace, and the God of love and peace will be with you.

²² Seeing you have purified your souls in your obedience to the truth through the Spirit in sincere brotherly affection, love one another from the heart fervently:

¹⁶ Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly; in all wisdom teaching and admonishing one another with psalms, hymns, and spiritual songs, singing with grace in your heart to the Lord.

¹ If there is therefore any exhortation in Christ, if any consolation of love, if any fellowship of the Spirit, if any tender mercies and compassion,

² make my joy full, by being like-minded, having the same love, being of one accord, of one mind;

³ doing nothing through rivalry or through conceit, but in humility, each counting others better than himself;

³⁴ A new commandment I give to you, that you love one another, just like I have loved you; that you also love one another.

⁹ Two are better than one, because they have a good reward for their labor.

¹⁰ For if they fall, the one will lift up his fellow; but woe to him who is alone when he falls, and doesn't have another to lift him up.

¹¹ Again, if two lie together, then they have warmth; but how can one keep warm alone?

¹² If a man prevails against one who is alone, two shall withstand him; and a threefold cord is not quickly broken.

¹³ Better is a poor and wise youth than an old and foolish king who doesn't know how to receive admonition any more.

¹⁴ We took sweet fellowship together. We walked in God's house with company.
