1 Peter 3:8

Finally . St. Peter is bringing to a close the exhortations to submission, which depend on the imperative in 1 Peter 2:13 . He turns from particular classes and relations to the whole Christian community, and describes what they ought to be in five Greek words, the first three of which are found nowhere else in the Greek Scriptures. Be ye all of one mind, having compassion one of another; literally, sympathizing; feeling with others, rejoicing with them that do rejoice, and weeping with them that weep. Love as brethren. An adjective ( φιλάδελφι ) in the Greek; the corresponding substantive occurs in 1 Peter 1:22 . Be pitiful . This word ( εὔσπλαγχνος ) has undergone a remarkable change of meaning. In Hippocrates, quoted by Huther, it is used literally of one whose viscera are healthy; it is also sometimes used figuratively, as equivalent to εὐκάρδιος ἀνδρεῖος ; "goodhearted" with the heathen would mean "brave;" with Christian writers "tender," "pitiful." Be courteous. This represents a reading ( φιλόφρονες ) which has very little support. The true reading is ταπεινόφρονες , humble-minded.
