How should Christ-followers relate to "ONE ANOTHER" (Greek:"allēlōn") ??
A wise pastor once challenged:
Q: Does the phrase "ONE ANOTHER" in the NT refer ONLY to BELIEVERS ??
A: YES!
"one" AND "another"
occurs in 250 verses in the NASB, including 145 "exact phrases"
to one...Hebrew 376...'iysh...A.man, male (in contrast to woman, female)...whosoever...each
another...Hebrew 251...'ach...I.brother...C.relative, kinship, same tribe
D.each to the other (>>reciprocal relationship<<)
Genesis 42:21 (NASB)
Then they (Joseph's brothers) said to ONE ANOTHER,
“Truly we are guilty concerning our brother,
because we saw the distress of his soul when he pleaded with us, yet we would not listen;
therefore this distress has come upon us.”
one another...Greek 240...allēlōn...I.one another, >>reciprocally<<, mutually
