Exodus 26:3

I in them, and you in me, that they may be perfected into one; that the world may know that you sent me and loved them, even as you loved me.

God has set some in the assembly: first apostles, second prophets, third teachers, then miracle workers, then gifts of healings, helps, governments, and various kinds of languages.

I have been crucified with Christ, and it is no longer I who live, but Christ lives in me. That life which I now live in the flesh, I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me, and gave himself up for me.

Only let your way of life be worthy of the Good News of Christ, that whether I come and see you or am absent, I may hear of your state, that you stand firm in one spirit, with one soul striving for the faith of the Good News;

I am sending him to you for this very purpose, that he may know your circumstances and comfort your hearts,

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.

He said, “To you it is given to know the mysteries of God’s Kingdom, but to the rest in parables; that ‘seeing they may not see, and hearing they may not understand.’

But if I do them, though you don’t believe me, believe the works, that you may know and believe that the Father is in me, and I in the Father.”

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.

But I would have you know that the head of every man is Christ, and the head of the woman is man, and the head of Christ is God.

For as the body is one, and has many members, and all the members of the body, being many, are one body; so also is Christ.

God also testifying with them, both by signs and wonders, by various works of power and by gifts of the Holy Spirit, according to his own will?

I and the Father are one.”

I know that you always listen to me, but because of the multitude standing around I said this, that they may believe that you sent me.”

A new commandment I give to you, that you love one another. Just as I have loved you, you also love one another.

By this everyone will know that you are my disciples, if you have love for one another.”

The multitude of those who believed were of one heart and soul. Not one of them claimed that anything of the things which he possessed was his own, but they had all things in common.

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

Yet I wish that all men were like me. However each man has his own gift from God, one of this kind, and another of that kind.

But the one and the same Spirit produces all of these, distributing to each one separately as he desires.

He put all things in subjection under his feet, and gave him to be head over all things for the assembly,

for the perfecting of the saints, to the work of serving, to the building up of the body of Christ,

This mystery is great, but I speak concerning Christ and of the assembly.

I have sent him to you for this very purpose, that you may know our state and that he may comfort your hearts.

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,

Above all these things, walk in love, which is the bond of perfection.

that which we have seen and heard we declare to you, that you also may have fellowship with us. Yes, and our fellowship is with the Father, and with his Son, Jesus Christ.

He who keeps his commandments remains in him, and he in him. By this we know that he remains in us, by the Spirit which he gave us.

Fulfill the week of this one, and we will give you the other also for the service which you will serve with me for seven more years.”

I will give them one heart and one way, that they may fear me forever, for their good, and the good of their children after them.

Yahweh will be King over all the earth. In that day Yahweh will be one, and his name one.

“For it is like a man, going into another country, who called his own servants, and entrusted his goods to them.

This is eternal life, that they should know you, the only true God, and him whom you sent, Jesus Christ.

for the words which you have given me I have given to them, and they received them, and knew for sure that I came from you. They have believed that you sent me.

As you sent me into the world, even so I have sent them into the world.

Or do you despise the riches of his goodness, forbearance, and patience, not knowing that the goodness of God leads you to repentance?

so we, who are many, are one body in Christ, and individually members of one another,

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.

Now concerning things sacrificed to idols: We know that we all have knowledge. Knowledge puffs up, but love builds up.

What is it then, brothers? When you come together, each one of you has a psalm, has a teaching, has a revelation, has another language, or has an interpretation. Let all things be done to build each other up.

There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither slave nor free man, there is neither male nor female; for you are all one in Christ Jesus.

even as he chose us in him before the foundation of the world, that we would be holy and without defect before him in love,

by which, when you read, you can perceive my understanding in the mystery of Christ,

that the Gentiles are fellow heirs and fellow members of the body, and fellow partakers of his promise in Christ Jesus through the Good News,

of which I was made a servant according to the gift of that grace of God which was given me according to the working of his power.

that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith, to the end that you, being rooted and grounded in love,

until we all attain to the unity of the faith and of the knowledge of the Son of God, to a full grown man, to the measure of the stature of the fullness of Christ,

but speaking truth in love, we may grow up in all things into him who is the head, Christ,

Let no corrupt speech proceed out of your mouth, but only what is good for building others up as the need may be, that it may give grace to those who hear.

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

on my behalf, that utterance may be given to me in opening my mouth, to make known with boldness the mystery of the Good News,

This I pray, that your love may abound yet more and more in knowledge and all discernment,

to whom God was pleased to make known what are the riches of the glory of this mystery among the Gentiles, which is Christ in you, the hope of glory.

For in him all the fullness of the Deity dwells bodily,

And let the peace of God rule in your hearts, to which also you were called in one body, and be thankful.

and that our Good News came to you not in word only, but also in power, and in the Holy Spirit, and with much assurance. You know what kind of men we showed ourselves to be among you for your sake.

For this cause we also thank God without ceasing, that when you received from us the word of the message of God, you accepted it not as the word of men, but as it is in truth, the word of God, which also works in you who believe.

May the Lord make you to increase and abound in love toward one another, and toward all men, even as we also do toward you,

but the goal of this command is love, out of a pure heart and a good conscience and sincere faith,

Paul, a servant of God, and an apostle of Jesus Christ, according to the faith of God’s chosen ones, and the knowledge of the truth which is according to godliness,

As each has received a gift, employ it in serving one another, as good managers of the grace of God in its various forms.

But you, beloved, keep building up yourselves on your most holy faith, praying in the Holy Spirit.

You shall couple five curtains by themselves, and six curtains by themselves, and shall double over the sixth curtain in the forefront of the tent.

You shall make fifty clasps of bronze, and put the clasps into the loops, and couple the tent together, that it may be one.

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

They made two more rings of gold, and put them on the two shoulder straps of the ephod underneath, in its front, close by its coupling, above the skillfully woven band of the ephod.

“ ‘You shall not take a wife in addition to her sister, to be a rival, to uncover her nakedness, while her sister is still alive.

Her rival provoked her severely, to irritate her, because Yahweh had shut up her womb.

See how good and how pleasant it is for brothers to live together in unity!

For then I will purify the lips of the peoples, that they may all call on Yahweh’s name, to serve him shoulder to shoulder.

Many nations shall join themselves to Yahweh in that day, and shall be my people; and I will dwell among you, and you shall know that Yahweh of Armies has sent me to you.

“The hands of Zerubbabel have laid the foundation of this house. His hands shall also finish it; and you will know that Yahweh of Armies has sent me to you.

For God didn’t send his Son into the world to judge the world, but that the world should be saved through him.

that all may honor the Son, even as they honor the Father. He who doesn’t honor the Son doesn’t honor the Father who sent him.

I have other sheep, which are not of this fold. I must bring them also, and they will hear my voice. They will become one flock with one shepherd.

If you had known me, you would have known my Father also. From now on, you know him, and have seen him.”

that they may all be one; even as you, Father, are in me, and I in you, that they also may be one in us; that the world may believe that you sent me.

Righteous Father, the world hasn’t known you, but I knew you; and these knew that you sent me.

Now when the day of Pentecost had come, they were all with one accord in one place.

In love of the brothers be tenderly affectionate to one another; in honor preferring one another;

God is faithful, through whom you were called into the fellowship of his Son, Jesus Christ, our Lord.

Now there are various kinds of gifts, but the same Spirit.

But now they are many members, but one body.

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

For in Christ Jesus neither circumcision amounts to anything, nor uncircumcision, but faith working through love.

which is his body, the fullness of him who fills all in all.

He gave some to be apostles; and some, prophets; and some, evangelists; and some, shepherds and teachers;

from whom all the body, being fitted and knit together through that which every joint supplies, according to the working in measure of each individual part, makes the body increase to the building up of itself in love.

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

that their hearts may be comforted, they being knit together in love, and gaining all riches of the full assurance of understanding, that they may know the mystery of God, both of the Father and of Christ,

and not holding firmly to the Head, from whom all the body, being supplied and knit together through the joints and ligaments, grows with God’s growth.

Seeing you have purified your souls in your obedience to the truth through the Spirit in sincere brotherly affection, love one another from the heart fervently,
