2:11 have the same Father (literally are all out of one): Based on the family terminology in the context, the phrase can be understood as referring to God. However, the author might have been thinking of Abraham as a common ancestor (see 2:16) or of human nature as a common experience (out of one nature). • brothers and sisters: Greek adelphoi, a generic term that refers to members of the same family, both male and female.
