The counsel given in verses 1-2 is by no means easy to follow. What three sources of help and encouragement are suggested in verses 3-5? Answer: 1) Christ as an example, 2) Christ as a support, 3) The prophets as a teacher, and I think another is 4) constant prayer one for another.
What does following Christ’s example involve (v7-12)? Why does Paul lay such emphasis on the inclusion of the Gentiles? Answer: 1) acceptance of one another, 2) Serve one another, 3) live to glorify God. Because God wants no one to end in hell. It is our own choice.
What should characterize the life of the Christian church? See verse 2, 5-7, 13. Answer: I appears to me that the body of Christ should be one unified body. Not a hundred different pieces doing (believing) different things.
