Bearing With One Another In Love

VERSE OF THE DAY

Ephesians 4:2 (New Living Translation)

Always be humble and gentle. Be patient with each other, making allowance for each other’s faults because of your love.

Always be humble and gentle in patience. Be accepting in kindness of one another’s faults in each other’s love 💕

What is the meaning of Ephesians 4 2?

We are to walk “bearing with one another in love.” We are not to just put up with each other. Rather, we are to put up with each other in love. That is something very different. When we put up with each other without love, then the result is grudges, resentment, hate, and a general dislike for others.

Ephesians 4:2-3 is a passage in the Bible that encourages Christians to be humble, gentle, and patient with one another. It also calls for Christians to preserve the unity of the Spirit through love.
