'Brothers' in the Bible

Consider it pure joy, my brothers, when you are involved in various trials,

Do not be deceived, my dear brothers.

You must understand this, my dear brothers. Everyone should be quick to listen, slow to speak, and slow to get angry.

My brothers, do not let your faith in our glorious Lord Jesus, the Messiah, be tainted by favoritism.

So be patient, brothers, until the coming of the Lord. See how the farmer waits for the precious crop from his land, being patient with it until it receives the fall and the spring rains.

Do not complain about each other, brothers, or you will be condemned. Look! The Judge is standing at the door!

My brothers, if one of you wanders away from the truth and somebody brings him back,
