Prompted by a reading I was doing this morning, I decided to do a study on the use of "one another" in the epistles, with an emphasis on cases where the context indicated that it was a directive/command/exhortation from the author. I also limited my study to cases where the apostles used the affirmative. The results are, I would suggest, a description of what the church (local and universal) should look like. Others might go so far as to suggest that CC should also have these characteristics as an online "community", but I'll leave that to each of you to decide for yourself.
What scripture affirmatively states we are to do for “one another”:
Love one another with mutual affection
Outdo one another in showing honor
Live in harmony with one another
Owe one another nothing but love
Welcome one another
Instruct one another
Greet one another (with a holy kiss)
Wait for one another
Care for one another
Agree with one another
Through love become slaves of one another
Bear one another’s burdens
Bear with one another in love
Be kind to one another, tenderhearted
Forgive one another
Be subject to one another
Teach and admonish one another in all wisdom
Encourage one another
Build up one another
Seek to do good to one another
Exhort one another
Provoke one another to love and good deeds
Confess your sins to one another
Pray for one another
Have sympathy for one another
Be hospitable to one another
Serve one another with the gifts that you have received
Clothe yourself with humility in your dealings with one another
Lay down your lives for one another
