What are the duties of equals?

The duties of equals are, to regard the dignity and worth of each other,[1] in giving honor to go one before another;[2] and to rejoice in each other’s gifts and advancement, as their own.[3]

  1. I Peter 2:17
    Honor everyone. Love the brotherhood. Fear God. Honor the emperor.
  2. Rom. 12:10
    Love one another with brotherly affection. Outdo one another in showing honor.
  3. Rom. 12:15-16
    Rejoice with those who rejoice, weep with those who weep. Live in harmony with one another. Do not be haughty, but associate with the lowly. Never be wise in your own sight. 
    Phil. 2:3-4
    Do nothing from rivalry or conceit, but in humility count others more significant than yourselves. Let each of you look not only to his own interests, but also to the interests of others.
Question 131, Westminster Larger Catechism
