Well, "cousin" wouldn't quite cut it because, according to the relevant Scripture usages, it could be half-siblings, cousins, nephew-uncle, fellow-Jews, or fellow-believers in Christ.

The closest in English might be "close kinsmen."

Even better would be "brothers," with a footnote explaining usage.

Your tone, by the way, is belligerent. Tone it down a bit, maybe?

Brother?
