Last week we noted that Paul talks about the spiritual gifts in the context of our own self-image, and of how we relate to one another as the body of Christ. Verses 9—21 continues with this theme, and expands on how we can best do that. ‘One another’ is a very common phrase in the New Testament, whose writers call us to consider each other far more frequently than we might think. A cursory search of the New Testament reveals that there are at least 22 different instructions to ‘one another’ which appear all over the it! This surely shows how important fellowship is to the writers of the New Testament—and, by implication, to God Himself? 

In today’s passage, Paul digs down and looks at two qualities we must develop if we are to enhance our ‘one another’s’, our fellowship life together. This morning Julian looks at what Paul says and considers its implications.
