The five that I picked for one another are:
Care for one another (1 Corinthians 12:25)
Serve one another (Galatians 5:13)
Forgive one another (Ephesians 4:2, 32; Colossians 3:13)
Be patient with one another (Ephesians 4:2; Colossians 3:13)
Be kind and compassionate to one another (Ephesians 4:32)
These "one another" speak volumes to me each so different and others about the same. For example," Care for one another" from 1 Corinthians 12:25 to me is about how people need to care for each other whether it is about physically caring for one another or just listing to a persons problems. The next one "Serve on another" from Galatians 5:13 is about serving or putting other peoples needs infant of your own. the next one is from both Ephesians 4:2 and Colossians 3:13 and it states" forgive one another". To me, this means that life is too precious to waist in haltered and revenge it is just better to forgive one another no matter what. the second too late quote is from Ephesians 4:2 and from Colossians 3:13 it said "be patient with one another". This means to me that everyone is going through stuff either personally or professionally we as human begins should be painting with one another, but more importantly with ourselves. the last and final "one another" is from Ephesians 4:32 and it states as follows "be kind and compassionate to one another". This one is similar to the second to last "one another" quote that I showed of how people need to be patient with one another because we are all going through something and with that in mind we need to be kind and compassionate with each other and even more so with ourselves.
All of these quotes are special to everyone in their own variation of what the words mean to them. The words that I have chosen for this discussion are very special to me. In so many ways that I just picked a couple of examples of each to give you an idea of what these words mean to me. I try to live by these words in my past because I have learned that people are going through stuff and it is very important to be kind, patient and considerate of one another because we may or may not know what they are going through. I was always though " put yourself into other peoples shoes". this has help me understand where people are coming from and if I do not know that I try my very best to be patent with them.

As a teacher the following passages and exhortations seemed particularly relevant with our current challenges in public education. I am a dual-language immersion kindergarten teacher, and I often face the challenge of accomplishing the day's learning objective or treating the students with the respect they deserve by being patient. The passage commands we “be patient with one another”, and it seems to me to especially be patient with children (New International Version, 2011, Colossians 3:13). As educators we are spread so thin, so much is asked of us, it requires faith to trust God to educate and allow yourself to care more about the children than the scores. We are also commanded to “pray for one another” and in this I have found the most success in my class (New International Version, 2011, James 5:16). The difference in a prayed for and an unprayed for lesson is palpable.
The criterion for learning provided in “Learning Theories” lists learning though experience to be a mandate to learning as a whole (Slavin and Schunk, 2021). As Christian educators in a secular system our greatest witness is our example to students. Later in the chapter the text explains that reinforcement from teachers has an impact on student education (Slavin and Schunk, 2021, pg. 24). To act impatiently towards a student shows them that you are displeased, or impossible to please, even if they did a good job.
This winter I got engaged to my girlfriend of three years. In that time we have been able to study and discuss our Bible studies together. The stress of the last year has caused uncertainty in our financial position, and the need has never been greater to “bear one another's burdens” (New International Version, 2011, Galatians 6:2). Even by listening and investing the time to hear her stresses after a day's work can alleviate her anxiety. Though some nights I would rather hang up the phone and allow myself recovery, I acknowledge the importance of devotion in a committed relationship. We are commanded to be devoted to one another (New International Version, 2011, Romans 12:10). This means we are invested in each other's successes and losses as much as our own.
Finally, I found this commandment interesting: “Speak to one another in psalms, hymns, and spiritual songs”(New International Version, 2011, Ephesians 5:19)This quote reminds of the late Ravi Zacharias. I used to listen to his radio broadcast and was always amazed at how often he would reference a hymn, a poem, or a psalm to drive a point home. His speech was truly “seasoned with salt”, and we should all aspire to that eloquence and humility (New International Version, 2021, Colossians 4:6).
