兄弟
"兄弟 "在《圣经》中有两种用法，在现代语言中仍有体现。一种是指实际的血缘关系；另一种是以 "人的兄弟关系 "的方式，更广泛地指共同性。 第二种用法在圣经中是一致的，意思是指那些活在行善的爱中的人。这可以是不同层次的，从简单的顺服的喜乐，到服侍别人的慈善之爱，再到主自己的崇高之爱。但在这些爱中都是兄弟。 启示录解释》，第746页。 "这样的人之所以被称为弟兄，是因为他们都有一位父亲，即主；那些在爱主的好处上，在对邻舍的仁爱上，都是主的儿子。(S)既然是一位父亲的儿子，他们也是弟兄。而且，主父的大诫命，就是要他们彼此相爱，因此，是爱使他们成为弟兄......" 有血缘关系的兄弟，情况就比较复杂，其意义更多的是受兄弟的身份和故事背景的影响。一般来说，它们反映了行善的愿望和对如何行善的理解之间可能存在的统一。该隐和亚伯以及几对双胞胎都是如此。雅各布和以扫、犹大的儿子撒拉和法勒斯、约瑟的儿子以法莲和玛拿西；在每一个案例中，一个代表了行善的愿望，另一个代表了对真理的理解。 因为这种善与真的兄弟情谊，兄弟可以根据上下文的不同，代表任何一种。事实上，约瑟的兄弟们的意义在他的故事中不断变化，因为他们代表了犹太信仰的先驱的精神衰落和重生。...

命令
命令是指下达必须做某事的命令，是针对个人或团体的。这是一种命令，而不是建议。 指挥可以有两种方式，或者是出于两种不同的动机。它常常出现在一个组织中，用来强行执行组织工作所必需的命令，如企业、政府或军队，它可以是合法的，或者在家庭中被父母用来维持家庭的秩序。但也可能被一个喜欢权力的人利用，在通过某种方式得到权力后，喜欢把自己的意志强加给别人，以获得私欲的满足。 所以一个动机是爱用，或爱善，另一个动机是为了爱自己，或爱财物。 主从他无限的爱出发，给了人类诫命，因为他就是秩序本身，他知道我们的幸福到永远取决于我们接受他的创造秩序，而这最终是唯一存在的秩序。
