'Brothers' in the Bible

We know, brothers loved by God, that you are chosen,

For you yourselves know, brothers, our visit to you wasn't in vain,

For you remember, brothers, our labor and travail; for working night and day, that we might not burden any of you, we preached to you the Good News of God.

For you, brothers, became imitators of the assemblies of God which are in Judea in Christ Jesus; for you also suffered the same things from your own countrymen, even as they did from the Jews;

But we, brothers, being bereaved of you for a short season, in presence, not in heart, tried even harder to see your face with great desire,

for this cause, brothers, we were comforted over you in all our distress and affliction through your faith.

Finally then, brothers, we beg and exhort you in the Lord Jesus, that as you received from us how you ought to walk and to please God, that you abound more and more.

for indeed you do it toward all the brothers who are in all Macedonia. But we exhort you, brothers, that you abound more and more;

But we don't want you to be ignorant, brothers, concerning those who have fallen asleep, so that you don't grieve like the rest, who have no hope.

But concerning the times and the seasons, brothers, you have no need that anything be written to you.

But you, brothers, aren't in darkness, that the day should overtake you like a thief.

But we beg you, brothers, to know those who labor among you, and are over you in the Lord, and admonish you,

We exhort you, brothers, admonish the disorderly, encourage the fainthearted, support the weak, be patient toward all.

Brothers, pray for us.

Greet all the brothers with a holy kiss.

I solemnly command you by the Lord that this letter be read to all the holy brothers.
