1 Corinthians 12:20

Now you are the body of Christ, and members individually.

I am the vine. You are the branches. He who remains in me and I in him bears much fruit, for apart from me you can do nothing.

I am no more in the world, but these are in the world, and I am coming to you. Holy Father, keep them through your name which you have given me, that they may be one, even as we are.

Whom he predestined, those he also called. Whom he called, those he also justified. Whom he justified, those he also glorified.

There is one body and one Spirit, even as you also were called in one hope of your calling,

For the husband is the head of the wife, as Christ also is the head of the assembly, being himself the savior of the body.

because we are members of his body, of his flesh and bones.

He is the head of the body, the assembly, who is the beginning, the firstborn from the dead, that in all things he might have the preeminence.

in hope of eternal life, which God, who can’t lie, promised before time began;

looking for the blessed hope and appearing of the glory of our great God and Savior, Jesus Christ,

He coupled five curtains to one another, and the other five curtains he coupled to one another.

He made fifty clasps of gold, and coupled the curtains to one another with the clasps: so the tabernacle was a unit.

He raised up the court around the tabernacle and the altar, and set up the screen of the gate of the court. So Moses finished the work.

For even as we have many members in one body, and all the members don’t have the same function,

Now I beg you, brothers, through the name of our Lord, Jesus Christ, that you all speak the same thing, and that there be no divisions among you, but that you be perfected together in the same mind and in the same judgment.

Because of him, you are in Christ Jesus, who was made to us wisdom from God, and righteousness and sanctification, and redemption:

Thus, sinning against the brothers, and wounding their conscience when it is weak, you sin against Christ.

If therefore there is any exhortation in Christ, if any consolation of love, if any fellowship of the Spirit, if any tender mercies and compassion,

make my joy full by being like-minded, having the same love, being of one accord, of one mind;

Let us therefore, as many as are perfect, think this way. If in anything you think otherwise, God will also reveal that to you.

because of the hope which is laid up for you in the heavens, of which you heard before in the word of the truth of the Good News

that being justified by his grace, we might be made heirs according to the hope of eternal life.

who through him are believers in God, who raised him from the dead, and gave him glory, so that your faith and hope might be in God.
