'Brethren' in the Bible

knowing, brethren beloved of God, your election,

For yourselves, brethren, know our entering in unto you, that it hath not been found vain:

For ye remember, brethren, our labor and travail: working night and day, that we might not burden any of you, we preached unto you the gospel of God.

For ye, brethren, became imitators of the churches of God which are in Judaea in Christ Jesus: for ye also suffered the same things of your own countrymen, even as they did of the Jews;

But we, brethren, being bereaved of you for a short season, in presence not in heart, endeavored the more exceedingly to see your face with great desire:

for this cause, brethren, we were comforted over you in all our distress and affliction through your faith:

Finally then, brethren, we beseech and exhort you in the Lord Jesus, that, as ye received of us how ye ought to walk and to please God, even as ye do walk, --that ye abound more and more.

But concerning love of the brethren ye have no need that one write unto you: for ye yourselves are taught of God to love one another;

for indeed ye do it toward all the brethren that are in all Macedonia. But we exhort you, brethren, that ye abound more and more;

But we would not have you ignorant, brethren, concerning them that fall asleep; that ye sorrow not, even as the rest, who have no hope.

But concerning the times and the seasons, brethren, ye have no need that aught be written unto you.

But ye, brethren, are not in darkness, that that day should overtake you as a thief:

But we beseech you, brethren, to know them that labor among you, and are over you in the Lord, and admonish you;

And we exhort you, brethren, admonish the disorderly, encourage the fainthearted, support the weak, be longsuffering toward all.

Brethren, pray for us.

Salute all the brethren with a holy kiss.

I adjure you by the Lord that this epistle be read unto all the brethren.
