In order to truly follow Paul as stated in Philippians 4:9, we truly need to see how he handled 'others,' including the 'enemy.'
We must even rightly divide Paul - is he talking TO Jews, Gentiles or saved folks? See I Corinthians 10:32.
When he mentions neighbour, he is talking about the brethren. See context example in I Thessalonians 4:12 and take note of verses 6,8,9,10.
This is a simplified outline listing the verses that were preached on.
