1 Peter 3:8

Be ye all of one mind - Unity, both in the family and in the Church, being essentially necessary to peace and salvation. See on Romans 12:16 (note); Romans 15:5 (note).

Having compassion - · Being sympathetic; feeling for each other; bearing each other' s burdens.

Love as brethren - · Be lovers of the brethren.

Pitiful - · Tender-hearted; let your bowels yearn over the distressed and afflicted.

Courteous - · Be friendly-minded; acquire and cultivate a friendly disposition. But instead of this word, , be humble-minded, is the reading of ABC, more than twenty others, with the Syriac, Arabic of Erpen, Coptic, Armenian, Slavonic, and some of the fathers. This is probably the true reading, and Griesbach has admitted it into the text.
