You Are Brothers.Why Do You Wrong Each Other?

“”

Acts 7.26

The wisest of women builds her house,

but folly with her own hands tears it down.

(Proverbs 14:1)

“Men, you are brothers. Why do you wrong each other?”

What causes quarrels and what causes fights among you? Is it not this, that your passions are at war within you?

(James 4:1)

I in them and you in me, that they may become perfectly one

(John 17:23)

but that you be united in the same mind and the same judgment.

(1 Corinthians 1:10)

complete my joy by being of the same mind, having the same love, being in full accord and of one mind

(Philippians 2:2)
