About Relationships with Each Other, and What the Bible Says About It. What Strengthens and What Destroys
Just recently, a friend of mine and I were talking about living in Christ and the practical application of the Bible in relationships. In order not to be unfounded, we decided to study the Bible on this topic. Look what we got… Interestingly, in Greek (the language of writing the New Testament), the phrase “each other” in various variations, uses only one word, so it was easy enough to find all the passages in Scripture.
