One Another One Another

The New Testament contains several dozen “one another” statements. These phrases summarize the Christian’s relationships with other Christians. They are a point by point description of what is involved in edifying other believers. The phrase “one another” can be turned into a verb. Thus, Christian’s ought to “one another” one another. Each Christian ought to be diligent to practice all the one another commands towards his fellow believers. I recommend to you the following outline of the one another statements for your own study.
