1Cor.14.6  Now, brethren, if I come to you speaking in tongues, how shall I benefit you unless I bring you some revelation or knowledge or prophecy or teaching?
1Cor.14.20  Brethren, do not be children in your thinking; be babes in evil, but in thinking be mature.
1Cor.14.26  What then, brethren? When you come together, each one has a hymn, a lesson, a revelation, a tongue, or an interpretation. Let all things be done for edification.
1Cor.14.39  So, my brethren, earnestly desire to prophesy, and do not forbid speaking in tongues;
1Cor.15.1  Now I would remind you, brethren, in what terms I preached to you the gospel, which you received, in which you stand,
1Cor.15.6  Then he appeared to more than five hundred brethren at one time, most of whom are still alive, though some have fallen asleep.
1Cor.15.31  I protest, brethren, by my pride in you which I have in Christ Jesus our Lord, I die every day!
1Cor.15.50  I tell you this, brethren: flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God, nor does the perishable inherit the imperishable.
1Cor.15.58  Therefore, my beloved brethren, be steadfast, immovable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, knowing that in the Lord your labor is not in vain.

1Cor.16.20  All the brethren send greetings. Greet one another with a holy kiss.
2Cor.1.8  For we do not want you to be ignorant, brethren, of the affliction we experienced in Asia; for we were so utterly, unbearably crushed that we despaired of life itself.
2Cor.8.1  We want you to know, brethren, about the grace of God which has been shown in the churches of Macedonia,
2Cor.8.23  As for Titus, he is my partner and fellow worker in your service; and as for our brethren, they are messengers of the churches, the glory of Christ.
2Cor.9.3  But I am sending the brethren so that our boasting about you may not prove vain in this case, so that you may be ready, as I said you would be;
2Cor.9.5  So I thought it necessary to urge the brethren to go on to you before me, and arrange in advance for this gift you have promised, so that it may be ready not as an exaction but as a willing gift.
2Cor.11.9  And when I was with you and was in want, I did not burden any one, for my needs were supplied by the brethren who came from Macedonia. So I refrained and will refrain from burdening you in any way.
2Cor.11.26  on frequent journeys, in danger from rivers, danger from robbers, danger from my own people, danger from Gentiles, danger in the city, danger in the wilderness, danger at sea, danger from false brethren;
2Cor.13.11  Finally, brethren, farewell. Mend your ways, heed my appeal, agree with one another, live in peace, and the God of love and peace will be with you.
Gal.1.2  and all the brethren who are with me, To the churches of Galatia:
Gal.1.11  For I would have you know, brethren, that the gospel which was preached by me is not man's gospel.
Gal.2.4  But because of false brethren secretly brought in, who slipped in to spy out our freedom which we have in Christ Jesus, that they might bring us into bondage--
Gal.3.15  To give a human example, brethren: no one annuls even a man's will, or adds to it, once it has been ratified.
Gal.4.12  Brethren, I beseech you, become as I am, for I also have become as you are. You did me no wrong;
Gal.4.28  Now we, brethren, like Isaac, are children of promise.
Gal.4.31  So, brethren, we are not children of the slave but of the free woman.
Gal.5.11  But if I, brethren, still preach circumcision, why am I still persecuted? In that case the stumbling block of the cross has been removed.
Gal.5.13  For you were called to freedom, brethren; only do not use your freedom as an opportunity for the flesh, but through love be servants of one another.
Gal.6.1  Brethren, if a man is overtaken in any trespass, you who are spiritual should restore him in a spirit of gentleness. Look to yourself, lest you too be tempted.
Gal.6.18  The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirit, brethren. Amen.

Phil.1.12  I want you to know, brethren, that what has happened to me has really served to advance the gospel,
Phil.1.14  and most of the brethren have been made confident in the Lord because of my imprisonment, and are much more bold to speak the word of God without fear.
Phil.3.1  Finally, my brethren, rejoice in the Lord. To write the same things to you is not irksome to me, and is safe for you.
Phil.3.13  Brethren, I do not consider that I have made it my own; but one thing I do, forgetting what lies behind and straining forward to what lies ahead,
Phil.3.17  Brethren, join in imitating me, and mark those who so live as you have an example in us.
Phil.4.1  Therefore, my brethren, whom I love and long for, my joy and crown, stand firm thus in the Lord, my beloved.
Phil.4.8  Finally, brethren, whatever is true, whatever is honorable, whatever is just, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is gracious, if there is any excellence, if there is anything worthy of praise, think about these things.
Phil.4.21  Greet every saint in Christ Jesus. The brethren who are with me greet you.
Col.1.2  To the saints and faithful brethren in Christ at Colossae: Grace to you and peace from God our Father.
Col.4.15  Give my greetings to the brethren at Laodicea, and to Nympha and the church in her house.
1Thess.1.4  For we know, brethren beloved by God, that he has chosen you;
1Thess.2.1  For you yourselves know, brethren, that our visit to you was not in vain;
1Thess.2.9  For you remember our labor and toil, brethren; we worked night and day, that we might not burden any of you, while we preached to you the gospel of God.
1Thess.2.14  For you, brethren, became imitators of the churches of God in Christ Jesus which are in Judea; for you suffered the same things from your own countrymen as they did from the Jews,
1Thess.2.17  But since we were bereft of you, brethren, for a short time, in person not in heart, we endeavored the more eagerly and with great desire to see you face to face;
1Thess.3.7  for this reason, brethren, in all our distress and affliction we have been comforted about you through your faith;
1Thess.4.1  Finally, brethren, we beseech and exhort you in the Lord Jesus, that as you learned from us how you ought to live and to please God, just as you are doing, you do so more and more.
1Thess.4.9  But concerning love of the brethren you have no need to have any one write to you, for you yourselves have been taught by God to love one another;
1Thess.4.10  and indeed you do love all the brethren throughout Macedonia. But we exhort you, brethren, to do so more and more,
1Thess.4.13  But we would not have you ignorant, brethren, concerning those who are asleep, that you may not grieve as others do who have no hope.
1Thess.5.1  But as to the times and the seasons, brethren, you have no need to have anything written to you.
1Thess.5.4  But you are not in darkness, brethren, for that day to surprise you like a thief.
1Thess.5.12  But we beseech you, brethren, to respect those who labor among you and are over you in the Lord and admonish you,
1Thess.5.14  And we exhort you, brethren, admonish the idlers, encourage the fainthearted, help the weak, be patient with them all.
1Thess.5.25  Brethren, pray for us.
1Thess.5.26  Greet all the brethren with a holy kiss.
1Thess.5.27  I adjure you by the Lord that this letter be read to all the brethren.
2Thess.1.3  We are bound to give thanks to God always for you, brethren, as is fitting, because your faith is growing abundantly, and the love of every one of you for one another is increasing.
2Thess.2.1  Now concerning the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ and our assembling to meet him, we beg you, brethren,
2Thess.2.13  But we are bound to give thanks to God always for you, brethren beloved by the Lord, because God chose you from the beginning to be saved, through sanctification by the Spirit and belief in the truth.
2Thess.2.15  So then, brethren, stand firm and hold to the traditions which you were taught by us, either by word of mouth or by letter.
2Thess.3.1  Finally, brethren, pray for us, that the word of the Lord may speed on and triumph, as it did among you,
2Thess.3.6  Now we command you, brethren, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that you keep away from any brother who is living in idleness and not in accord with the tradition that you received from us.
2Thess.3.13  Brethren, do not be weary in well-doing.
1Tim.4.6  If you put these instructions before the brethren, you will be a good minister of Christ Jesus, nourished on the words of the faith and of the good doctrine which you have followed.
1Tim.6.2  Those who have believing masters must not be disrespectful on the ground that they are brethren; rather they must serve all the better since those who benefit by their service are believers and beloved. Teach and urge these duties.
2Tim.4.21  Do your best to come before winter. Eubulus sends greetings to you, as do Pudens and Linus and Claudia and all the brethren.
Heb.2.11  For he who sanctifies and those who are sanctified have all one origin. That is why he is not ashamed to call them brethren,
Heb.2.12  saying, "I will proclaim thy name to my brethren, in the midst of the congregation I will praise thee."
Heb.2.17  Therefore he had to be made like his brethren in every respect, so that he might become a merciful and faithful high priest in the service of God, to make expiation for the sins of the people.

Heb.13.22  I appeal to you, brethren, bear with my word of exhortation, for I have written to you briefly.
Jas.1.2  Count it all joy, my brethren, when you meet various trials,
Jas.9.8  Do not be deceived, my beloved brethren.
Jas.9.11  Know this, my beloved brethren. Let every man be quick to hear, slow to speak, slow to anger,
Jas.10.1  My brethren, show no partiality as you hold the faith of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Lord of glory.
Jas.10.5  Listen, my beloved brethren. Has not God chosen those who are poor in the world to be rich in faith and heirs of the kingdom which he has promised to those who love him?
Jas.10.14  What does it profit, my brethren, if a man says he has faith but has not works? Can his faith save him?
Jas.11.1  Let not many of you become teachers, my brethren, for you know that we who teach shall be judged with greater strictness.
Jas.11.10  From the same mouth come blessing and cursing. My brethren, this ought not to be so.
Jas.11.12  Can a fig tree, my brethren, yield olives, or a grapevine figs? No more can salt water yield fresh.
Jas.12.11  Do not speak evil against one another, brethren. He that speaks evil against a brother or judges his brother, speaks evil against the law and judges the law. But if you judge the law, you are not a doer of the law but a judge.
Jas.13.7  Be patient, therefore, brethren, until the coming of the Lord. Behold, the farmer waits for the precious fruit of the earth, being patient over it until it receives the early and the late rain.
Jas.13.9  Do not grumble, brethren, against one another, that you may not be judged; behold, the Judge is standing at the doors.
Jas.13.10  As an example of suffering and patience, brethren, take the prophets who spoke in the name of the Lord.
Jas.13.12  But above all, my brethren, do not swear, either by heaven or by earth or with any other oath, but let your yes be yes and your no be no, that you may not fall under condemnation.
Jas.13.19  My brethren, if any one among you wanders from the truth and some one brings him back,
1Pet.1.22  Having purified your souls by your obedience to the truth for a sincere love of the brethren, love one another earnestly from the heart.
1Pet.3.8  Finally, all of you, have unity of spirit, sympathy, love of the brethren, a tender heart and a humble mind.
2Pet.1.10  Therefore, brethren, be the more zealous to confirm your call and election, for if you do this you will never fall;
1John.3.13  Do not wonder, brethren, that the world hates you.
1John.3.14  We know that we have passed out of death into life, because we love the brethren. He who does not love abides in death.
1John.3.16  By this we know love, that he laid down his life for us; and we ought to lay down our lives for the brethren.
3John.1.3  For I greatly rejoiced when some of the brethren arrived and testified to the truth of your life, as indeed you do follow the truth.
3John.1.5  Beloved, it is a loyal thing you do when you render any service to the brethren, especially to strangers,
3John.1.10  So if I come, I will bring up what he is doing, prating against me with evil words. And not content with that, he refuses himself to welcome the brethren, and also stops those who want to welcome them and puts them out of the church.
Rev.6.11  Then they were each given a white robe and told to rest a little longer, until the number of their fellow servants and their brethren should be complete, who were to be killed as they themselves had been.
Rev.12.10  And I heard a loud voice in heaven, saying, "Now the salvation and the power and the kingdom of our God and the authority of his Christ have come, for the accuser of our brethren has been thrown down, who accuses them day and night before our God.
Rev.19.10  Then I fell down at his feet to worship him, but he said to me, "You must not do that! I am a fellow servant with you and your brethren who hold the testimony of Jesus. Worship God." For the testimony of Jesus is the spirit of prophecy.
Rev.22.9  but he said to me, "You must not do that! I am a fellow servant with you and your brethren the prophets, and with those who keep the words of this book. Worship God."
