'Brethren' in the Bible

Now I would have you know, brethren, that the things which happened unto me have fallen out rather unto the progress of the gospel;

and that most of the brethren in the Lord, being confident through my bonds, are more abundantly bold to speak the word of God without fear.

Finally, my brethren, rejoice in the Lord. To write the same things to you, to me indeed is not irksome, but for you it is safe.

Brethren, I could not myself yet to have laid hold: but one thing I do , forgetting the things which are behind, and stretching forward to the things which are before,

Brethren, be ye imitators together of me, and mark them that so walk even as ye have us for an ensample.

Wherefore, my brethren beloved and longed for, my joy and crown, so stand fast in the Lord, my beloved.

Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honorable, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things.

Salute every saint in Christ Jesus. The brethren that are with me salute you.
