Consider

Remember those who are in prison as though you were in prison with them, and those who are ill-treated as being yourselves liable to the same trials.

The disciples determined to make up a contribution, each according to his ability, and send it to the brothers who lived in Judea,

Rejoice with those who rejoice, weep with those who weep.

It is the duty of us who are strong to put up with the weaknesses of those who are immature, and not just suit ourselves.

But in sinning against your brothers in this way and wounding their too scrupulous consciences, you are really sinning against Christ.

To the overscrupulous I have become overscrupulous, so as to win the overscrupulous; I have become everything to everybody, so as by all means to save some of them.

just as I for my part try to please everyone in all I do, not aiming at my own advantage, but at that of people generally, in order that they may be saved.

But if a man is caught doing something wrong, brothers, you are spiritual, and you must set him right, in a spirit of gentleness. Think of yourself, for you may be tempted too.

Let the message of Christ live in your hearts in all its wealth of wisdom. Teach it to one another and train one another in it with thankfulness, with psalms, hymns, and sacred songs, and sing to God with all your hearts.

Therefore encourage one another and strengthen one another, just as you are doing.

Not that I had not a right to my support, but to give you in my own conduct an example to imitate.

To provoke

But what is God's reply? "I have left myself seven thousand men who have never knelt to Baal!"

I do not mean this as a command. I only want to test the genuineness of your love by the devotion of others.

for I know how willing you are to help in it; I boast of you for it to the people in Macedonia, telling them that Greece has been ready since last year, and your enthusiasm has been a stimulus to most of them.

Love

For God is not so unjust as to forget the work you have done and the love you have showed for his cause, in giving help to your fellow-Christians as you still do.

Your love for the brotherhood must continue.

For in union with Christ Jesus, neither circumcision nor the want of it counts for anything, but only faith acting through love.

And it is my prayer that your love may grow richer and richer in knowledge and perfect insight,

for we can never forget before our God and Father your energetic faith, your loving service, and your unwavering expectation of our Lord Jesus Christ.

May the Lord make your love for one another and for all men wide and full like my love for you,

Charge them to do good, to be rich in good deeds, open-handed and generous,

so as to train the younger women to be loving wives and mothers,

This is a trustworthy teaching, and I want you to insist on these things, so that those who believe in God may make it their business to do good. All this is right and beneficial to mankind.

Dear children, let us love not with words or lips only but in reality and truth.
