letter with these last words: Rejoice.
Change your ways. Encourage each

Then the God of love and peace
will be with you.
Greet each other in Christian love. All the
Christians here send you their greetings.
May the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, the
love of God, and the fellowship of the Holy
Spirit be with you all.”

“Parakaleisye”
“Auto froneite”
1 Corinthians 1:10
Now, dear brothers and sisters, I appeal to
you by the authority of the Lord Jesus Christ
to stop arguing among yourselves. Let there
be real harmony so there won't be divisions in
the church. I plead with you to be of one
mind, united in thought and purpose.
Philippians 2:1-4 Is there any encouragement from
belonging to Christ? Any comfort from his love? Any
fellowship together in the Spirit? Are your hearts
tender and sympathetic? Then make me truly happy
by agreeing wholeheartedly with each other, loving
one another, and working together with one heart and
purpose.
Don't be selfish; don't live to make a good
impression on others. Be humble, thinking of others as
better than yourself. Don't think only about your own
affairs, but be interested in others, too, and what they
are doing.
1 Peter 3:8
Finally, all of you should be of one mind,
full of sympathy toward each other, loving
one another with tender hearts and humble
minds.
Romans 12:16
Live in harmony with each other. Don't try
to act important, but enjoy the company of
ordinary people. And don't think you know it
all!
Romans 12:18
Do your part to live in peace with
everyone, as much as possible.

“eirhneuete”
James 3:13-18 If you are wise and understand
God's ways, live a life of steady goodness so that
only good deeds will pour forth. And if you don't
brag about the good you do, then you will be truly
wise! But if you are bitterly jealous and there is
selfish ambition in your hearts, don't brag about
being wise. That is the worst kind of lie. For
jealousy and selfishness are not God's kind of
wisdom. Such things are earthly, unspiritual, and
motivated by the Devil. For wherever there is
jealousy and selfish ambition, there you will find
disorder and every kind of evil.
But the wisdom that comes from heaven is
first of all pure. It is also peace loving, gentle
at all times, and willing to yield to others. It is
full of mercy and good deeds. It shows no
partiality and is always sincere. And those
who are peacemakers will plant seeds of
peace and reap a harvest of goodness.
