RESPECT
Regard, Esteem, Honor

In our relationship with Christ, He deserves the greatest respect, that of worship. In our relationships with others, respect meets the need for significance and is given to every person without them having to earn it. When respect is missing, people are often rude and self-centered. One practical way to show respect is to remember someone's name.

​"Honor one another above yourselves."
