Men and Brethren (opens the original)
Read excerpt
I was rather startled the other evening when I was in a Bible study, and the pastor was reading:Hebrews 2:11-12 For both he that sanctifieth and they who are sanctified are all of one: for which cause he is not ashamed to call them brethren, Saying, I will declare thy name unto my brethren, in the midst of the church will I sing praise unto thee. And, in the translation he read, the word ‘brethren’ came out ‘brothers and sisters’. So I looked up the Greek and, sure enough, the word was ‘brethren

But far from being a contradiction of the Biblical rule ‘respect your elders’, it is the root and ground of it.Matthew Henry put it thusly: Your parents teach you good manners, and therein you must obey them. They teach you what is for your health, and in this you must obey them:And this is obvious. And designed. Like the chick with its mo
