  • Ps 139:15-16 : 15 My frame was not hidden from You when I was made in secret and skillfully wrought in the depths of the earth. 16 Your eyes saw my substance, being yet unformed; and in Your book they all were written, the days fashioned for me, when as yet there were none of them.
  • John 15:4-6 : 4 Abide in me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit by itself, unless it abides in the vine, no more can you, unless you abide in me. 5 I am the vine, you are the branches.

  • 1 Cor 10:16-17 : 16 The cup of blessing which we bless, is it not the communion of the blood of Christ? The bread which we break, is it not the communion of the body of Christ? 17 For although we are many, we are one bread and one body: for we all partake of that one bread.
  • 1 Cor 12:12-27 : 12 For as the body is one and has many members, and all the members of that one body, being many, are one body, so also is Christ. 13 For by one Spirit we were all baptized into one body, whether Jews or Greeks, whether slaves or free, and have all been made to drink into one Spirit. 14 For the body is not one member, but many. 15 If the foot says, Because I am not the hand, I am not of the body, is it therefore not of the body? 16 And if the ear says, Because I am not the eye, I am not of the body, is it therefore not of the body? 17 If the whole body were an eye, where would be the hearing? If the whole were hearing, where would be the smelling? 18 But now God has set the members, each one of them, in the body as He pleased. 19 And if they were all one member, where would the body be? 20 But now indeed there are many members, yet one body. 21 And the eye cannot say to the hand, I have no need of you; nor again the head to the feet, I have no need of you. 22 No, rather, those members of the body which seem to be weaker are necessary. 23 And those parts of the body which we think to be less honorable, upon these we bestow greater honor, and our unpresentable parts have greater modesty. 24 But our presentable parts have no need. But God composed the body, having given greater honor to that part which lacked, 25 that there should be no division in the body, but that the members should have the same care for one another. 26 And if one member suffers, all the members suffer with it; or if one member is honored, all the members rejoice with it. 27 Now you are the body of Christ and members individually.
  • Gal 1:6-9 : 6 I am amazed that you are so quickly turning away from him who called you in the grace of Christ to a different gospel, 7 Which is not another; but there are some who trouble you and want to pervert the gospel of Christ. 8 But even if we, or an angel from heaven, preach any other gospel to you than what we have preached to you, let him be accursed. 9 As we have said before, so now I say again, if anyone preaches any other gospel to you than what you have received, let him be accursed.
