Pleasant Words from the Gospel

This is how we know who the servants of God... Anyone who
does not do what is right is not a child of God [one of the ser-
vants with whom God is pleased]; nor is anyone who does not
love his brother. (1 John, 3, 10)

Whoever loves his brother lives in the light [with God's
light], and there is nothing in him to make him stumble. But
whoever hates his brother is in the darkness and walks around
in the darkness; he does not know where he is going, because
the darkness has blinded him. (1 John, 2:10-11)

For God did not give us a spirit of timidity, but a spirit of pow-

er, of love... (2 Timothy, 1:7)

... He [Onemius] is very dear to me [Paul] but even dearer to
you [Philemon], both as a man and as a brother in the Lord.
(Philemon, 1:16)

[Jesus:] "But I tell you who hear me: Love your enemies, do
good to those who hate you, bless those who curse you, pray
for those who mistreat you." (Luke, 6:27-28)
