Encourage one another in the faith.

Instead of trying correcting one another; seek to confirm and strengthen the faith that is already in the hearts of your fellow Christians.

In general you do not need to plant the seed of faith in the hearts of your brethren; God has done that already by His Holy Spirit.

Faith is a fruit of the Spirit; it is born of God and not of the will of man.

Let us then bring the regenerating and life giving water of God's words of inspiration to the lives of our Christian Brethren.

Let us seek to water the garden of faith planted in the hearts of men by the Master sower, Jesus Christ.

Brethren, we did not begin the work of God; we can only enter into the labor that is already begun.
