'Brothers' in the Bible

Now I want you to know, brothers, that {my circumstances} have happened instead for the progress of the gospel,

and most of the brothers, trusting in the Lord because of my imprisonment, dare [even] more to speak the word without fear.

Finally, my brothers, rejoice in the Lord. To write the same [things] to you [is] not troublesome to me, but [is] a safeguard for you.

Brothers, I do not consider myself to have laid hold of [it]. But [I do] one [thing], forgetting the things behind and straining toward the things ahead,

Become fellow imitators of me, brothers, and observe those who walk in this way, just as you have us [as] an example.

So then, my beloved and greatly desired brothers, my joy and crown, thus stand firm in the Lord, dear friends.

Finally, brothers, whatever [things] are true, whatever [things are] honorable, whatever [things are] right, whatever [things are] pure, whatever [things are] pleasing, whatever [things are] commendable, if [there is] any excellence of character and if anything praiseworthy, think about these [things].

Greet every saint in Christ Jesus. The brothers with me greet you.
