Five qualities... (1 Peter 3:8)

1 Peter 3:8


New International Version (NIV)


Finally, all of you, live in harmony with one another, be sympathetic, love as brothers, be compassionate and humble.

Peter lists 5 key elements that should characterize any group of believers: 1.) harmony - pursuing the same goals; 2.) sympathy - being responsive to others' needs; 3.) love - seeing and treating each other as brothers and sisters; 4.) compassion - being affectionately sensitive and caring; and 5.) humility - being willing to encourage one another and rejoice in each others' successes. These five qualities go a long way toward helping believers serve God effectively.
