  • 1 Cor 12:12-27 : 12 Just as the body is one but has many members, and all the members of the body, though many, are one body, so also is Christ. 13 For in one Spirit we were all baptized into one body—whether Jews or Greeks, slaves or free—and we were all given the one Spirit to drink. 14 Indeed, the body is not one member but many. 15 If the foot should say, 'Because I am not a hand, I do not belong to the body,' it would not for that reason cease to be part of the body. 16 And if the ear should say, 'Because I am not an eye, I do not belong to the body,' it would not for that reason cease to be part of the body. 17 If the whole body were an eye, where would the sense of hearing be? If the whole body were an ear, where would the sense of smell be? 18 But now God has arranged the members, each one of them, in the body just as He desired. 19 If they were all one member, where would the body be? 20 But as it is, there are many members, yet one body. 21 The eye cannot say to the hand, 'I have no need of you,' nor can the head say to the feet, 'I have no need of you.' 22 On the contrary, those parts of the body that seem to be weaker are indispensable. 23 And the parts of the body that we think are less honorable, we bestow greater honor, and our unpresentable parts are treated with greater modesty, 24 whereas our presentable parts have no need of it. But God has composed the body, giving greater honor to the part that lacked it, 25 so that there should be no division in the body, but that the members should have the same care for one another. 26 If one member suffers, all the members suffer with it. If one member is honored, all the members rejoice with it. 27 Now you are the body of Christ, and each one of you is a part of it.
  • Gal 1:6-9 : 6 I am amazed that you are so quickly turning away from the One who called you by the grace of Christ to a different gospel— 7 not that there is another gospel, but there are some who are troubling you and want to pervert the gospel of Christ. 8 But even if we or an angel from heaven should preach to you a gospel contrary to the one we preached to you, let him be accursed! 9 As we have said before, so now I say again: if anyone is preaching to you a gospel contrary to the one you received, let him be accursed!
  • Gal 5:2-4 : 2 Listen! I, Paul, say to you that if you let yourselves be circumcised, Christ will be of no benefit to you. 3 Again I declare to every man who allows himself to be circumcised that he is obligated to obey the whole law. 4 You who are justified by the law have been severed from Christ; you have fallen away from grace.
