Encourage one another (Heb 3:12-13):
We have a God-given responsibility for each other. If we don't
"see to it" and "encourage each other daily", then
we will become "hardened by sin's deceitfulness". Paul
emphasizes how often we are to encourage each other—daily. See Deut 29:18—God's heart was always this way. He puts the
responsibility of righteousness on everyone's shoulders. You cannot go
through life as a disciple concerned only about yourself.

Spur one another on
(Heb 10:24):
Sometimes we need a gentle, encouraging hand, other times we need a spur
to help us.
Love one another (Jn
13:34-35):
This is a direct command from Jesus. But He takes it one step further.
Loving one another was an old testament command as well, but here he says,
"as I have loved you, so you must love one another."
Be devoted to one
another (Rom 12:10):
This is not an option if I want to be a disciple in the body of
Christ. Our devotion must be out of love not only obligation.
Carry each other's
burdens (Gal 6:2):
Not here to fix each other, but we are to help each other with our
burdens.
Be kind and
compassionate to one another (Eph 4:32).
Speak to one another
with psalms, hymns and spiritual songs (Eph 5:19):
This is obviously done in a fellowship setting, but we should also be
sharing scriptures with each other.
Be patient, bearing
with one another in love (Eph 4:2):
This is Paul’s famous passage on unity. Being patient, forbearing
and humble with each other is what it takes to have unity.
We belong to one
another (Rom 12:5):
Just as the parts of a body all belong to that body.
Agree with one another
(1 Cor 1:10):
Paul is making an appeal to Christians to agree with one another so
that there may be no divisions and so that they may be perfectly united in
both mind and thought.
Confess to one another
(Jas 5:16):
Never commanded to confess to a priest, but to each other.
Instruct each other
(Rom 15:14):
All disciples should be about doing this.
