What is the Allēlōn Principle?

The Allēlōn Principle is not a newfound truth of Scripture, nor is it a New Age idea about Christianity. The Allēlōn Principle is simply an understanding of what the New Testament communicates through the “one another” commands that are given over 100 times, of which 47 of them are given as instructions to the church.

How this principle works begins with understanding the Greek pronoun allēlōn. Allēlōn, (Gk. “one another”), is a pronoun which marks reciprocation between two persons or groups. It is the reciprocal aspect of the pronoun that the principle really gets its true identity.

Definition: “The Allēlōn Principle is the Spirit empowered actions between believers that develop and define the intended culture of the community of Christ’s disciples.”
