And Paul never
failed to encourage individuals to treat each other as Christ would,
because we are in him, as he does in Philemon 9. Even from prison,
Paul could reach everyone and preach His love. He never forgot
people's work for Christ, calling it a labor of love. (Hebrews 6:10),
nor did he ever forget to remind people to continue this labor of
love with each other and in the body (Hebrews 10:24 and Hebrews
13:1). Peter in 1 Peter 1:22 reiterates this sentiment, that all
Christians should maintain faith in the Spirit by practicing the
labors of love within the body and in purity of Christ Jesus and the
love of the King.
