"And beside this, giving all diligence, add to your faith virtue; and to virtue knowledge; And to knowledge temperance; and to temperance patience; and to patience godliness; And to godliness brotherly kindness;...for if ye do these things, ye shall never fall:" - 2nd Peter 1:5-7a,10b(KJV)Faith needs additives1 to remain healthy. "Brotherly kindness" is listed as essential to avoid fruitlessness, barrenness, and falling.
Judge Judy, on her popular daytime television show, told a plaintiff suing her own sister for something done to her husband, "In ten years you probably won't have this husband, but you'll still have your sister, be kind to her!"
You don't choose your physical family and you don't choose your brother's in Christ, either. You won't get away with cheating them2 and they will be with you for eternity; be kind to them!3
