Love as brothers

(1 Pet 3:8 KJV)  Finally, be ye all of one mind, having compassion one of another, love as brethren, be pitiful, be courteous:(1 Pet 3:9 KJV)  Not rendering evil for evil, or railing for railing: but contrariwise blessing; knowing that ye are thereunto called, that ye should inherit a blessing.(1 Pet 3:10 KJV)  For he that will love life, and see good days, let him refrain his tongue from evil, and his lips that they speak no guile:(1 Pet 3:11 KJV)  Let him eschew evil, and do good; let him seek peace, and ensue it.(1 Pet 3:12 KJV)  For the eyes of the Lord are over the righteous, and his ears are open unto their prayers: but the face of the Lord is against them that do evil.

 Notice the attitudes we are to have as Christians; live in harmony with one another; be sympathetic, love as brothers, be compassionate and humble.  We are not to repay evil for evil, to trade insults …but instead we are to bless …knowing this is our calling.  Those who want to enjoy life will be careful what they say and do. Stay away from all evil, do good, seek peace, go after it.  God watches over those who do what is right and He will answer their prayers and help them;  But God is against those who do evil.  Let’s live in a way that God can freely answer our prayers and provide the help we need.
