honor to whom honor is due.

want to quote that in context?I can not find that quote.

I know this one

Revelation 4 10the twenty-four elders fall down before Him who sits on the throne and worship Him who lives forever and ever, and cast their crowns before the throne, saying:

        11"You are worthy, O Lord,[1]
        To receive glory and honor and power;
        For You created all things,
        And by Your will they exist[2] and were created."

OF COURSE WE ARE TO LOVE, HONOR, PRAISE OUR GOD AND LORD ABOVE ALL ELSE ETC. OF COURSE!

But you made it sound like never at all in any way nor in any context were we to honor a brother more than 0.0000%. I don't think that's a Biblical perspective:

Acts 28:10 They honored us in many ways and when we were ready to sail, they furnished us with the supplies we needed.

Rom 12:10 Be DEVOTED TO ONE ANOTHER in brotherly love [have you EVER seen that REALLLLLYY ACTED OUT IN ANY GROUP OR CONGREGATION more than very rarely and at a relatively low level that didn't cost too much?]. Honor one another above yourselves.

I suspect those are not overly comfortable sentences for some hereon--are they for you?

Rom 13:7 [NIV IS A LITTLE DIFFERENT from the KJV which is what I've memorized mostly]. . . . If you owe taxes, pay taxes; if revenue, then revenue; if respect, then respect; if honor, then honor.
