Rejoice with those who rejoice; mourn with those who mourn (12:15). After instructing Christians to respond to outsiders with love and forgiveness, Paul now turns back to the Christian community, enjoining a sincere identification with others whatever their state might be. Note how Paul’s commands here echo what he says about relations within the body of Christ in 1 Corinthians 12:26: “If one part suffers, every part suffers with it; if one part is honored, every part rejoices with it.” But the need for such mutual identification is found in Jewish sources as well. See, for instance, Sirach 7:34: “Do not avoid those who weep, but mourn with those who mourn.”127
