'Sisters' in the Bible

I call on you solemnly in the Lord to have this letter read to all the brothers and sisters.

We ought to thank God always for you, brothers and sisters, and rightly so, because your faith flourishes more and more and the love of each one of you all for one another is ever greater.

Now regarding the arrival of our Lord Jesus Christ and our being gathered to be with him, we ask you, brothers and sisters,

But we ought to thank God always for you, brothers and sisters loved by the Lord, because God chose you from the beginning for salvation through sanctification by the Spirit and faith in the truth.

Therefore, brothers and sisters, stand firm and hold on to the traditions that we taught you, whether by speech or by letter.

Finally, pray for us, brothers and sisters, that the Lord's message may spread quickly and be honored as in fact it was among you,

But we command you, brothers and sisters, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, to keep away from any brother who lives an undisciplined life and not according to the tradition they received from us.

But you, brothers and sisters, do not grow weary in doing what is right.

By pointing out such things to the brothers and sisters, you will be a good servant of Christ Jesus, having nourished yourself on the words of the faith and of the good teaching that you have followed.

The elder women as mothers; the younger as sisters, with all purity.

Make every effort to come before winter. Greetings to you from Eubulus, Pudens, Linus, Claudia, and all the brothers and sisters.

For indeed he who makes holy and those being made holy all have the same origin, and so he is not ashamed to call them brothers and sisters,

Therefore he had to be made like his brothers and sisters in every respect, so that he could become a merciful and faithful high priest in things relating to God, to make atonement for the sins of the people.

Therefore, holy brothers and sisters, partners in a heavenly calling, take note of Jesus, the apostle and high priest whom we confess,

See to it, brothers and sisters, that none of you has an evil, unbelieving heart that forsakes the living God.

Therefore, brothers and sisters, since we have confidence to enter the sanctuary by the blood of Jesus,

Now I urge you, brothers and sisters, bear with my message of exhortation, for in fact I have written to you briefly.

My brothers and sisters, consider it nothing but joy when you fall into all sorts of trials,

Do not be led astray, my dear brothers and sisters.

Understand this, my dear brothers and sisters! Let every person be quick to listen, slow to speak, slow to anger.

My brothers and sisters, do not show prejudice if you possess faith in our glorious Lord Jesus Christ.

Listen, my dear brothers and sisters! Did not God choose the poor in the world to be rich in faith and heirs of the kingdom that he promised to those who love him?

What good is it, my brothers and sisters, if someone claims to have faith but does not have works? Can this kind of faith save him?

Not many of you should become teachers, my brothers and sisters, because you know that we will be judged more strictly.

From the same mouth come blessing and cursing. These things should not be so, my brothers and sisters.

Can a fig tree produce olives, my brothers and sisters, or a vine produce figs? Neither can a salt water spring produce fresh water.

Do not speak against one another, brothers and sisters. He who speaks against a fellow believer or judges a fellow believer speaks against the law and judges the law. But if you judge the law, you are not a doer of the law but its judge.

So be patient, brothers and sisters, until the Lord's return. Think of how the farmer waits for the precious fruit of the ground and is patient for it until it receives the early and late rains.

Do not grumble against one another, brothers and sisters, so that you may not be judged. See, the judge stands before the gates!

As an example of suffering and patience, brothers and sisters, take the prophets who spoke in the Lord's name.

And above all, my brothers and sisters, do not swear, either by heaven or by earth or by any other oath. But let your "Yes" be yes and your "No" be no, so that you may not fall into judgment.

My brothers and sisters, if anyone among you wanders from the truth and someone turns him back,

Resist him, strong in your faith, because you know that your brothers and sisters throughout the world are enduring the same kinds of suffering.

Therefore, brothers and sisters, make every effort to be sure of your calling and election. For by doing this you will never stumble into sin.

Therefore do not be surprised, brothers and sisters, if the world hates you.

Then I heard a loud voice in heaven saying, "The salvation and the power and the kingdom of our God, and the ruling authority of his Christ, have now come, because the accuser of our brothers and sisters, the one who accuses them day and night before our God, has been thrown down.
