1 Thessalonians 5:13b-15 ESV
13...Be at peace among yourselves. 14 And we urge you, brothers, admonish the idle, encourage the fainthearted, help the weak, be patient with them all.
15 See that no one repays anyone evil for evil, but always seek to do good to one another and to everyone.
In order to be at peace with one another, we must be at peace with ourselves. This is only truly possible when we are at peace with God. When He is in our midst, peace is among us.
With that peace, we can ourselves labor and tend God's harvest, providing encouragement when needed, admonishment when warranted, an open hand to keep ourselves from stumbling or to help a brother up. We find expression of love in the things we do for each other. We express love for God in that love.
