“As we have therefore opportunity, let us do good unto all men, especially unto them who are of the household of faith.”
The Loneliness
Paul names especially here, worth examining directly, this specific priority given to the household of faith, worth holding as needed instruction, genuine family relationship carrying this described, particular obligation and priority, worth examining whether this same priority has actually characterized your own practice.
This is worth applying against however much you have treated fellow believers with the same, generic care extended to anyone, without this further, described especially, worth considering what specific, additional care or priority this household relationship might actually, practically require of you.
Notice as we have opportunity, worth holding as this verse’s own practical framing, not distant obligation but this described, actual, present opportunity, worth examining what specific opportunity currently, genuinely exists for you to do good specifically within this described household of faith.
Consider today one specific person within your own household of faith who might genuinely benefit from this described, particular priority, and practice this concrete, deliberate care today, following this verse’s own specific instruction, especially unto them who are of the household of faith.
