Mark 3: 13Jesus decided to ask some of his disciples to go up on a mountain with him, and they went. 14Then he chose twelve of them to be his apostles, so that they could be with him. He also wanted to send them out to preach .... (CEV)
John 13: 34But I am giving you a new command. You must love each other, just as I have loved you. 35If you love each other, everyone will know that you are my disciples. (CEV)
Acts 2: 44All the LORD'S followers often met together, and they shared everything they had. 45They would sell their property and possessions and give the money to whoever needed it. 46Day after day they met together in the temple. They broke bread together in different homes and shared their food happily and freely, 47while praising God. Everyone liked them, and each day the LORD added to their group others who were being saved. (CEV)
Romans 12: 8If we can encourage others, we should encourage them. If we can give, we should be generous. If we are leaders, we should do our best. If we are good to others, we should do it cheerfully. (CEV)
Colossians 4: 7Tychicus is the dear friend, who faithfully works and serves the LORD with us, and he will give you the news about me. 8I am sending him to cheer you up by telling you how we are getting along. 9Onesimus, that dear and faithful follower from your own group, is coming with him. The two of them will tell you everything that has happened here. 10Aristarchus is in jail with me. He sends greetings to you, and so does Mark, the cousin of Barnabas. You have already been told to welcome Mark, if he visits you. 11Jesus, who is known as Justus, sends his greetings. These three men are the only Jewish followers who have worked with me for the kingdom of God. They have given me much comfort. 12Your own Epaphras, who serves Christ Jesus, sends his greetings. He always prays hard that you may fully know what the LORD wants you to do and that you may do it completely. 13I have seen how much trouble he has gone through for you and for the followers in Laodicea and Hierapolis. 14Our dear doctor Luke sends you his greetings, and so does Demas. 15Give my greetings to the followers at Laodicea, especially to Nympha and the church that meets in her home. 16After this letter has been read to your people, be sure to have it read in the church at Laodicea. And you should read the letter that I have sent to them. 17Remind Archippus to do the work that the LORD has given him to do. 18I am signing this letter myself: PAUL. Don't forget that I am in jail. I pray that God will be kind to you. (CEV)
