Unity and love mean: We confess our sins to each other (James 5:16). We share with brothers and sisters who are in need (Rom. 12:13; 1 John 3:17). We are vulnerable with others (Hosea). We associate with people of low position (Rom. 12:16). We creatively consider ways to honor others (Rom. 12:10). We discern when to confront sin and when to overlook it (Matt 18:15; Prov. 17:9; 19:11). We are patient with everyone (1 Cor. 13:4). We are willing to sacrifice (John 15:12-13). We practice church discipline (Matt. 18:15-19; 1 Cor. 5:1-5).
