“Be kindly affectioned one to another with brotherly love; in honour preferring one another;”
Be devoted to one another in love. Honor one another above yourselves. — Philostorgos (tenderly affectionate, familial love) marks Christian community. Timaō (honor, value highly) eis allēlous (one another) prioritizes community dignity over self-preference. This counters cultural honor systems where self-promotion dominates.
