“And in fine, be ye all of one mind, having compassion one of another, being lovers of the brotherhood, merciful, modest, humble:”
On this verse:
“General summary of relative duty, after having detailed particular duties from Pe1 2:18. of one mind--as to the faith. having compassion one of another--Greek, "sympathizing" in the joy and sorrow of others. love as brethren--Greek, "loving the brethren." pitiful--towards the afflicted. courteous--genuine Christian politeness; not the tinsel of the world's politeness; stamped with unfeigned love on one side, and humility on the other. But the oldest manuscripts read, "humble-minded." It is slightly different from "humble," in that it marks a conscious effort to be truly humble.”
