Other Bible passages linked to this one, most cited first.
Be kindly affectioned one to another with brotherly love; in honour preferring one another;
Let us not be desirous of vain glory, provoking one another, envying one another.
Submitting yourselves one to another in the fear of God.
With all lowliness and meekness, with longsuffering, forbearing one another in love;
Likewise, ye younger, submit yourselves unto the elder. Yea, all of you be subject one to another, and be clothed with humility: for God resisteth the proud, and giveth grace to the humble.
But if ye have bitter envying and strife in your hearts, glory not, and lie not against the truth. This wisdom descendeth not from above, but is earthly, sensual, devilish. For where envying and strife is, there is confusion and every evil work.
