Romans 12:4

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 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.

Don’t you know that your bodies are members of Christ? Shall I then take the members of Christ and make them members of a prostitute? May it never be!

Because there is one loaf of bread, we, who are many, are one body; for we all partake of the one loaf of bread.

But now they are many members, but one body.

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

For through him we both have our access in one Spirit to the Father.

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

Therefore putting away falsehood, speak truth each one with his neighbor. For we are members of one another.

Now I rejoice in my sufferings for your sake, and fill up on my part that which is lacking of the afflictions of Christ in my flesh for his body’s sake, which is the assembly,

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?

For the promise is to you, and to your children, and to all who are far off, even as many as the Lord our God will call to himself.”

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.

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

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

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

having the eyes of your hearts enlightened, that you may know what is the hope of his calling, and what are the riches of the glory of his inheritance in the saints,

being eager to keep the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace.

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

Therefore, holy brothers, partakers of a heavenly calling, consider the Apostle and High Priest of our confession: Jesus,

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

Go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit,

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.

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

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.

and might reconcile them both in one body to God through the cross, having killed the hostility through it.

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,

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.

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.

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.

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,

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

Five curtains shall be coupled together to one another, and the other five curtains shall be coupled to one another.

Moses said to the children of Israel, “Behold, Yahweh has called by name Bezalel the son of Uri, the son of Hur, of the tribe of Judah.

He has filled them with wisdom of heart to work all kinds of workmanship, of the engraver, of the skillful workman, and of the embroiderer, in blue, in purple, in scarlet, and in fine linen, and of the weaver, even of those who do any workmanship, and of those who make skillful works.

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

According to the lot shall their inheritance be divided between the more and the fewer.”

You hope of Israel, its Savior in the time of trouble, why should you be as a foreigner in the land, and as a wayfaring man who turns aside to stay for a night?

“Blessed is the man who trusts in Yahweh, and whose confidence is in Yahweh.

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.

But we believe that we are saved through the grace of the Lord Jesus, just as they are.”

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

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

even as I also please all men in all things, not seeking my own profit, but the profit of the many, that they may be saved.

For if he who comes preaches another Jesus, whom we didn’t preach, or if you receive a different spirit, which you didn’t receive, or a different “good news”, which you didn’t accept, you put up with that well enough.

Now the promises were spoken to Abraham and to his offspring. He doesn’t say, “To descendants”, as of many, but as of one, “To your offspring”, which is Christ.

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.

Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly places in Christ,

in whom you also are built together for a habitation of God in the Spirit.

I therefore, the prisoner in the Lord, beg you to walk worthily of the calling with which you were called,

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

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

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,

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

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

Now our Lord Jesus Christ himself, and God our Father, who loved us and gave us eternal comfort and good hope through grace,

Paul, an apostle of Jesus Christ according to the commandment of God our Savior and the Lord Jesus Christ our hope;

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.

If anyone speaks, let it be as it were the very words of God. If anyone serves, let it be as of the strength which God supplies, that in all things God may be glorified through Jesus Christ, to whom belong the glory and the dominion forever and ever. Amen.

seeing that his divine power has granted to us all things that pertain to life and godliness, through the knowledge of him who called us by his own glory and virtue,

Everyone who has this hope set on him purifies himself, even as he is pure.
