And let every man esteem his brother as himself, and practice virtue and holiness before me. Doctrine & Covenants 38:24
The brotherhood and sisterhood of faithful Latter-day Saints is one of the sweetest aspects of the restored gospel of Jesus Christ. We are united in our devotion to the Lord; united in faith, belief, and doctrine; united in our desire to serve others and build Zion. As fellow believers, we are to hold our brothers and sisters in the gospel in high esteem, to be concerned for their welfare, and to look after them with kindness and respect. We are to follow the admonition of Paul that “no one of you be puffed up for one against another” (1 Corinthians 4:6). Christ gave us the vital commandment “that ye love one another; as I have loved you, that ye also love one another. By this shall all men know that ye are my disciples, if ye have love one to another” (John 13:3-35). We demonstrate the virtues of holiness most vividly in how we regard and treat our fellow beings.
