'Brothers' in the Bible

Now I make request to you, my brothers, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that you will all say the same thing, and that there may be no divisions among you, so that you may be in complete agreement, in the same mind and in the same opinion.

Because it has come to my knowledge, through those of the house of Chloe, that there are divisions among you, my brothers.

For you see God's design for you, my brothers, that he has not taken a great number of the wise after the flesh, not the strong, not the noble:

And when I came to you, my brothers, I did not come with wise words of knowledge, putting before you the secret of God.

And the teaching I gave you, my brothers, was such as I was able to give, not to those who have the Spirit, but to those who are still in the flesh, even to children in Christ.

My brothers, it is because of you that I have taken Apollos and myself as examples of these things, so that in us you might see that it is not wise to go farther than what is in the holy Writings, so that no one of you may be lifted up against his brother.

I say this to put you to shame. Is there not among you one wise man who may be able to give a decision between his brothers?

So far from doing this, you yourselves do wrong and take your brothers' property.

My brothers, let every man keep in that condition which is the purpose of God for him.

But I say this, my brothers, the time is short; and from now it will be wise for those who have wives to be as if they had them not;

And in this way, doing evil to the brothers, and causing trouble to those whose faith is feeble, you are sinning against Christ.

Have we no right to take about with us a Christian wife, like the rest of the Apostles, and the brothers of the Lord, and Cephas?

For it is my desire, my brothers, that you may keep in mind how all our fathers were under the cloud, and they all went through the sea;

For this cause, my dear brothers, give no worship to false gods.

So then, my brothers, when you come together to the holy meal of the Lord, let there be waiting for one another.

But about the things of the spirit, my brothers, it is not right for you to be without teaching.

But, now, my brothers, if I come to you using tongues, what profit will it be to you, if I do not give you a revelation, or knowledge, or the word of the prophet, or teaching?

My brothers, do not be children in mind: in evil be as little children, but in mind be of full growth.

What is it then, my brothers? when you come together everyone has a holy song, or a revelation, or a tongue, or is giving the sense of it. Let everything be done for the common good.

So then, my brothers, let it be your chief desire to be prophets; but let no one be stopped from using tongues.

Now I am going to make clear to you, my brothers, what the good news was which I gave to you, and which you took, and on which your faith is based,

Then by more than five hundred brothers at the same time, most of whom are still living, but some are sleeping;

Yes, truly, by your pride in me, my brothers in Christ Jesus our Lord, my life is one long death.

Now I say this, my brothers, that it is not possible for flesh and blood to have a part in the kingdom of God; and death may not have a part in life.

For this cause, my dear brothers, be strong in purpose and unmoved, ever giving yourselves to the work of the Lord, because you are certain that your work is not without effect in the Lord.

See then that he has the honour which is right. But send him on his way in peace, so that he may come to me: for I am looking for him with the brothers.

But as for Apollos, the brother, I had a great desire for him to come to you with the brothers, but it was not his pleasure to come now; but he will come when he has a chance.

Now I make my request to you, my brothers, for you have knowledge that the house of Stephanas is the first-fruits of Achaia, and that they have made themselves the servants of the saints,

All the brothers send their love to you. Give one another a holy kiss.
