46 And day by day, attending the temple together and breaking bread in their homes, they received their food with glad and generous hearts, 47 praising God and having favor with all the people. And the Lord added to their number day by day those who were being saved.
12 For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the cosmic powers over this present darkness, against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly places.
12 Fight the good fight of the faith. Take hold of the eternal life to which you were called and about which you made the good confession in the presence of many witnesses.
1 Whoever isolates himself seeks his own desire;
he breaks out against all sound judgment.
6 for by wise guidance you can wage your war,
and in abundance of counselors there is victory.
14 Where there is no guidance, a people fall,
but in an abundance of counselors there is safety.
15 The way of a fool is right in his own eyes,
but a wise man listens to advice.
10 By insolence comes nothing but strife,
but with those who take advice is wisdom.
20 Whoever walks with the wise becomes wise,
but the companion of fools will suffer harm.
22 Without counsel plans fail,
but with many advisers they succeed.
18 Plans are established by counsel;
by wise guidance wage war.
17 Iron sharpens iron,
and one man sharpens another.
33 I have said these things to you, that in me you may have peace. In the world you will have tribulation. But take heart; I have overcome the world.”
24 “Everyone then who hears these words of mine and does them will be like a wise man who built his house on the rock. 25 And the rain fell, and the floods came, and the winds blew and beat on that house, but it did not fall, because it had been founded on the rock. 26 And everyone who hears these words of mine and does not do them will be like a foolish man who built his house on the sand. 27 And the rain fell, and the floods came, and the winds blew and beat against that house, and it fell, and great was the fall of it.”
1 Whoever isolates himself seeks his own desire;
he breaks out against all sound judgment.
26 If one member suffers, all suffer together; if one member is honored, all rejoice together.
3 Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of mercies and God of all comfort, 4 who comforts us in all our affliction, so that we may be able to comfort those who are in any affliction, with the comfort with which we ourselves are comforted by God.
1 We who are strong have an obligation to bear with the failings of the weak, and not to please ourselves.
1 Brothers, if anyone is caught in any transgression, you who are spiritual should restore him in a spirit of gentleness. Keep watch on yourself, lest you too be tempted. 2 Bear one another’s burdens, and so fulfill the law of Christ.

16 Therefore, confess your sins to one another and pray for one another, that you may be healed. The prayer of a righteous person has great power as it is working.
2 Bear one another’s burdens, and so fulfill the law of Christ.
1 When one of you has a grievance against another, does he dare go to law before the unrighteous instead of the saints? 2 Or do you not know that the saints will judge the world? And if the world is to be judged by you, are you incompetent to try trivial cases? 3 Do you not know that we are to judge angels? How much more, then, matters pertaining to this life! 4 So if you have such cases, why do you lay them before those who have no standing in the church? 5 I say this to your shame. Can it be that there is no one among you wise enough to settle a dispute between the brothers, 6 but brother goes to law against brother, and that before unbelievers?
