For whoever does the will of God, the same is my brother, and sister, and mother.

He answered, My mother and my brother are these who hear the word of God, and do it.

As he was talking a woman out of the crowd shouted: Blessed is the woman who bore you and nursed you.

Jesus answered: This is the work of God, that you have an active faith in the one whom he has sent.

You are my friends if you do the things that I command you.

Moses said to the fathers, 'Jehovah will raise up for your brothers a prophet like me. You must listen to all the things he speaks to you.' (Deuteronomy 18:18)

He brought them out and asked: Sirs, what must I do to be saved?

God overlooked the times of ignorance; but now he commands men everywhere to repent.

I preached first to Damascus, and to Jerusalem, and throughout all the coasts of Judea, and then to the people of the nations, that they should repent and turn to God, and prove their repentance by deeds.

For in Christ Jesus neither circumcision means anything, nor uncircumcision, but faith working through love.

For neither is circumcision anything, nor uncircumcision anything, but a new creature is.

There is no distinction between Greek and Jew, circumcision and uncircumcision, barbarian, Scythian, bondman, freeman; but Christ is all and in all.

Being made perfect, he became the source (cause) (channel) (conduit) (pathway) (facilitator) of eternal salvation to all who obey him. (Psalm 3:8)

Therefore get rid of all filthiness and wickedness. Receive with meekness the implanted word, which is able to save you.

From now on you must live the rest of your earthly lives controlled by God's will and not by human desires (lusts).

The world and its desires (lusts) are passing away; but he who does the will of God lives forever.

This is his commandment, that we should believe in the name of His Son Jesus Christ, and love one another. He gave us this commandment!

Blessed are those who obey his commandments. They have the right to the tree of life, and may enter in through the gates of the city.

The same

The King will answer: 'To the extent that you did it to one of the least of my brothers, you did it to me.'

I will tell my people about your name. I will praise you within the congregation.

Jesus said: Do not touch me for I am not yet ascended to the Father. Go to my brothers, and say to them, I ascend to my Father and you're Father, and my God and your God. (Revelation 3:12)

Those he first recognized, he ordained in advance that they be conformed to the image of his Son, that he might be the firstborn among many brothers.

Both he who sanctifies and they who are sanctified are all from one. For this reason Jesus is not ashamed to call them brothers.

And sister

You have ravished my heart, my sister, and my spouse. You have ravished my heart with one of your eyes, with one chain around your neck.

(The Beloved) I came to my garden, my sister, my spouse. I gathered my myrrh with my spice. I ate my honeycomb with my honey and drank my wine with my milk. Eat, O friends; drink, yes, drink abundantly, O beloved.

Do we have a right to lead a sister as a wife just like other apostles, and as brothers of the Lord, and Cephas?

For I am zealous over you with a godly fervor (ardor) (zeal)! For I promised you to one husband, that I might present you as a pure virgin to Christ.

Husbands love your wives, even as Christ also loved the congregation and gave himself up for it.

And mother

Jesus saw his mother, and the disciple whom he loved. He said to his mother, Woman, look, your son!

Treat the elder women as mothers, the younger as sisters, with much honor.
