(90) Honouring in love.

For God said, ‘Honor your father and your mother,’ and ‘Whoever curses father or mother shall die.’ (Matt 15:4)

What God has made clean, you are not to call profane. (Acts 10:15)

Give honor to all, love the community, fear God, honor the king. (1 Pet2:17)

Consequently, you too must think of yourselves as (being) dead to sin and living for God in Christ Jesus. (Rom 6:11)

If anyone thinks that he is a prophet or a spiritual person, he should recognize that what I am writing to you is a commandment of the Lord. If anyone does not acknowledge this, he is not acknowledged. So, (my) brothers, strive eagerly to prophesy, and do not forbid speaking in tongues, but everything must be done properly and in order. (1 Cor 14:37-40)

Bear one another’s burdens, and so you will fulfill the law of Christ. For if anyone thinks he is something when he is nothing, he is deluding himself. (Gal 6:2-3)

He heard this and said, «Those who are well do not need a physician, but the sick do. Go and learn the meaning of the words, ‘I desire mercy, not sacrifice.’ I did not come to call the righteous but sinners.» (Matt 9:12-13)

If there is any encouragement in Christ, any solace in love, any participation in the Spirit, any compassion and mercy, complete my joy by being of the same mind, with the same love, united in heart, thinking one thing. Do nothing out of selfishness or out of vainglory; rather, humbly regard others as more important than yourselves, (Phil 2:1-3)

More than that, I even consider everything as a loss because of the supreme good of knowing Christ Jesus my Lord. For his sake I have accepted the loss of all things and I consider them so much rubbish, that I may gain Christ and be found in him, not having any righteousness of my own based on the law but that which comes through faith in Christ, the righteousness from God, depending on faith to know him and the power of his resurrection and (the) sharing of his sufferings by being conformed to his death, if somehow I may attain the resurrection from the dead. (Phil 3:8-11)

The aim of this instruction is love from a pure heart, a good conscience, and a sincere faith. (1 Tim 1:5)
