Romans12:10

10. Be kindly affectioned one to another ; with brotherly love, in honor preferring one another .

Christians ought to have such Affection one to another, as Parents have to their Children; and as all Creatures have to their Young: So much the Word here used imports.

This Clause is Expounded by Phil. 2.3. It is Exemplified in Abraham, Gen. 13.9. Most desire Preference and Honour before others, which is contrary to the good Counsel in this Text. Some read it, prevent one another; Don't tarry till others honour you, but do you go before them in this Expression of brotherly Love, and be Examples to them.

Marginal references: Heb. 13.1. 1 Pet. 2.17.; Or, in love of the brethren.
