'Brothers' in the Bible

For I rejoiced exceedingly [when the] brothers came and testified [to] your truth, just as you are walking in [the] truth.

Dear friend, you act faithfully [in] whatever you do for the brothers, {even though they are strangers}.

Therefore, if I come, I will call attention to {the deeds he is doing}, disparaging us with evil words. And not being content with these, he does not receive the brothers himself, and he hinders those wanting [to do so] and throws [them] out of the church.
