'Brothers' in the Bible

Being conscious, my brothers, dear to God, that you have been marked out by God's purpose;

For you yourselves, brothers, are conscious that our coming among you was not without effect:

For you have the memory, my brothers, of our trouble and care; how, working night and day, so that we might not be a trouble to any of you, we gave you the good news of God.

For you, my brothers, took as your examples the churches of God which are in Judaea in Christ Jesus; because you underwent the same things from your countrymen as they did from the Jews;

But we, my brothers, being away from you for a short time, in body but not in heart, had all the more desire to see your face;

For this cause, brothers, in all our trouble and grief we were comforted about you because of your faith;

But about loving the brothers, there is no need for me to say anything to you in this letter: for you have the teaching of God that love for one another is right and necessary;

And, truly, you are lovers of all the brothers in Macedonia; but it is our desire that your love may be increased still more;

But it is our desire, brothers, that you may be certain about those who are sleeping; so that you may have no need for sorrow, as others have who are without hope.

But about the times and their order, my brothers, there is no need for me to say anything to you.

But you, my brothers, are not in the dark, for that day to overtake you like a thief:

But we make this request to you, my brothers: give attention to those who are working among you, who are over you in the Lord to keep order among you;

Brothers, keep us in mind in your prayers.

Give all the brothers a holy kiss.

I give orders in the name of the Lord that all the brothers are to be present at the reading of this letter.
