Brethren definition

Brethren what agreement has the tem- ple of God with idols? For you are the temple of the living God. As God has said: "I will dwell in them And walk among them. I will be their God, And they shall be My people." Therefore Come out from among them And be separate, says the Lord. Do not touch what is unclean, And I will receive you." I will be a Father to you, And you shall be My sons and daughters, Says the LORD ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇." Therefore, having these promises, beloved, let us cleanse ourselves from all filthiness of the flesh and spirit, perfecting holiness in the fear of God. Remember those who rule over you, who have spoken the word of God to you, whose faith follow, considering the out- come of their conduct. ▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇ is the same yesterday, today, and forever. Do not be carried about with various and strange doc- trines. For it is good that the heart be estab- lished by grace, not with foods which have not profited those who have been occupied with them. We have an altar from which those who serve the tabernacle have no right to eat. For the bodies of those animals, whose blood is brought into the sanctuary by the high priest for sin, are burned outside the camp. Therefore ▇▇▇▇▇ also, that He might sanctify the people with His own blood, suf- fered outside the gate. Therefore let us go forth to Him, outside the camp, bearing His reproach. For here we have no continuing city, but we seek the one to come. Therefore by Him let us continually offer the sacrifice 17th Sunday after Pentecost Holy Fathers of the 7th Ecumenical Council Eph. 4:25-32 Luke 7:36-50 Eph. 5:20-26 Luke 8:22-25 Eph. 5:33-6:9 Luke 9:12-18 1 Cor. 15:39-45 Luke 6:1-10 Luke 7:11-16
