'Brethren' in the Bible

But I would have you know, brethren, that the circumstances in which I am have turned out rather to the furtherance of the glad tidings,

and that the most of the brethren, trusting in the Lord through my bonds, dare more abundantly to speak the word of God fearlessly.

For the rest, my brethren, rejoice in the Lord: to write the same things to you, to me is not irksome, and for you safe.

Brethren, I do not count to have got possession myself; but one thing forgetting the things behind, and stretching out to the things before,

Be imitators all together of me, brethren, and fix your eyes on those walking thus as you have us for a model;

So that, my brethren, beloved and longed for, my joy and crown, thus stand fast in the Lord, beloved.

For the rest, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are noble, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are amiable, whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any virtue and if any praise, think on these things.

Salute every saint in Christ Jesus. The brethren who are with me salute you.
