How God Wants Us To Treat One Another

As promised, here’s the info from last night’s meet­ing:

The Eng­lish phrase “one anoth­er” is expressed as a sin­gle word in Greek: the reflex­ive pro­noun allelous. By find­ing each place that allelous is used in the New Tes­ta­ment, we can quick­ly sur­vey pas­sages that teach us how we should relate to one anoth­er. The fol­low­ing list is rep­re­sen­ta­tive but not exhaus­tive.

Greet One Anoth­er: 2 Corinthi­ans 13:12
Show Hos­pi­tal­i­ty To One Anoth­er: 1 Peter 4:9
Hon­or One Anoth­er: Romans 12:10
Live In Har­mo­ny With One Anoth­er: Romans 12:16
Serve One Anoth­er: Gala­tians 5:13–14
Com­fort One Anoth­er: 2 Corinthi­ans 1:3–4
Encour­age One Anoth­er: Hebrews 3:12–13
Moti­vate One Anoth­er: Hebrews 10:24–25
Teach And Admon­ish One Anoth­er: Colos­sians 3:16
Be For­bear­ing With One Anoth­er: Eph­esians 4:1–3
For­give One Anoth­er: Colos­sians 3:13
Con­fess Sin To One Anoth­er: James 5:16
Bear One Another’s Bur­dens: Gala­tians 6:2
Love One Anoth­er: 1 John 4:7–21

and here are some addi­tion­al resources we did­n’t cov­er last night

Do a search for every ‘one anoth­er’ verse in the NIV New Tes­ta­ment

Do a search for every ‘each oth­er’ verse in the NIV New Tes­ta­ment

Also see the arti­cle: “One Anoth­er” Com­mands of Scrip­ture, which is dull yet infor­ma­tive.

  1. I have a ques­tion con­cern­ing the “one anoth­er” and “each oth­er” pas­sages on this site.
    Which Bible ver­sion is being used?

    Thank you

  2. Those are not actu­al­ly the trans­la­tions of the pas­sages; they are descrip­tive titles inspired by the con­tent. Heb 10:24–25, for exam­ple, is a bit long to include in a list like this, so I sum­ma­rized the con­cept as “moti­vate one anoth­er”.

    I may have got­ten this list from some­where else and slight­ly adapt­ed it. I can’t remem­ber.
