'One' in the Bible

I am able to do all things through the one who strengthens me.

For even in Thessalonica on more than one occasion you sent something for my need.

My Christian greetings to every one of God's people. The brethren who are with me send their greetings.

The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirit.

And you were at one time strangers and enemies in your minds as expressed through your evil deeds,

We proclaim Him, warning and instructing everyone in all wisdom [that is, with comprehensive insight into the word and purposes of God], so that we may present every person complete in Christ [mature, fully trained, and perfect in Him—the Anointed].

[For my hope is] that their hearts may be encouraged as they are knit together in [unselfish] love, so that they may have all the riches that come from the full assurance of understanding [the joy of salvation], resulting in a true [and more intimate] knowledge of the mystery of God, that is, Christ,

I am saying this so that no one will deceive you with persuasive arguments.

Be careful that no one takes you captive through philosophy and empty deceit based on human tradition, based on the elemental forces of the world, and not based on Christ.

Therefore, let no one judge you in matters of food and drink or with respect to a festival, a New Moon, or Sabbath days.

Let no one disqualify you, insisting on ascetic practices and the worship of angels, claiming access to a visionary realm and inflated without cause by his unspiritual mind.

Such a one does not keep his hold upon Christ, the Head, from whom the Body, in all its parts nourished and strengthened by its points of contact and its connections, grows with a divine growth.

These rules have indeed an appearance of wisdom where self-imposed worship exists, and an affectation of humility and an ascetic severity. But not one of them is of any value in combating the indulgence of our lower natures.

You also lived your lives in this way at one time, when you used to live among them.

Lie not one to another, seeing that ye have put off the old man with his deeds;

and have clothed yourselves with the new nature, which is being renewed in full knowledge, consistent with the image of the one who created it.

Where there is no Greek or Jew, no one with circumcision or without circumcision, no division between nations, no servant or free man: but Christ is all and in all.

Forbearing one another, and forgiving one another, if any man have a quarrel against any: even as Christ forgave you, so also do ye.

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

Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly in all wisdom; teaching and admonishing one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing with grace in your hearts to the Lord.

knowing [with all certainty] that it is from the Lord [not from men] that you will receive the inheritance which is your [greatest] reward. It is the Lord Christ whom you [actually] serve.

Epaphras, who is one of you, a servant of Christ, saluteth you, always labouring fervently for you in prayers, that ye may stand perfect and complete in all the will of God.

When this letter has been read among you, have it read also in the church of the Laodiceans, and be sure to read the one from Laodicea.

and to wait for his Son whom he raised from the dead to come back from heaven. This Jesus is the one who rescues us from the coming wrath.

For ye remember, brethren, our labour and toil: working night and day, not to be chargeable to any one of you, we have preached to you the glad tidings of God.

As ye know how we exhorted and comforted and charged every one of you, as a father doth his children,

we encouraged, comforted, and implored each one of you to walk worthy of God, who calls you into His own kingdom and glory.

because we wanted to come to you--I, Paul, {on more than one occasion}--and Satan hindered us.

so that no one will be shaken by these persecutions. For you yourselves know that we are appointed to this.

For this reason, when I was no longer able to keep quiet, I sent to get news of your faith, fearing that you might be tested by the Evil One and that our work might come to nothing.

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

That every one of you should know how to possess his vessel in sanctification and honour;

This means one must not transgress against and defraud his brother in this matter, because the Lord is an avenger of all these offenses, as we also previously told and warned you.

God has not called us to an unclean life, but to one of purity.

Consequently the one who rejects this is not rejecting human authority but God, who gives his Holy Spirit to you.

But as touching brotherly love ye need not that I write unto you: for ye yourselves are taught of God to love one another.

and to vie with one another in eagerness for peace, every one minding his own business and working with his hands, as we ordered you to do:

that ye may walk reputably towards those without, and may have need of no one.

Wherefore comfort one another with these words.

Wherefore comfort yourselves together, and edify one another, even as also ye do.

and that you esteem them very highly in love because of their work. Live in peace with one another.

See to it that no one repays evil for evil to anyone, but always pursue what is good for one another and for all.

The one who calls you is faithful, and he will continue to be faithful.

Paul, Silvanus (Silas), and Timothy,To the church of the Thessalonians in God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ:

Grace to you and peace [inner calm and spiritual well-being] from God the Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.

We are bound to thank God always for you, brethren, as it is meet, because that your faith groweth exceedingly, and the charity of every one of you all toward each other aboundeth;

For the mystery of lawlessness is already at work, but the one now restraining will do so until he is out of the way,

and then the lawless one will be revealed. The Lord Jesus will destroy him with the breath of His mouth and will bring him to nothing with the brightness of His coming.

The coming of the lawless one is based on Satan’s working, with all kinds of false miracles, signs, and wonders,

But the Lord is faithful; He will strengthen and guard you from the evil one.

nor for nought did we eat bread of any one, but in labour and in travail, night and day working, not to be chargeable to any of you;

for even when we were with you, this we did command you, that if any one is not willing to work, neither let him eat,

and if any one do not obey our word through the letter, this one note ye, and have no company with him, that he may be ashamed,

But we know that the law is good, provided one uses it legitimately.

knowing this, that the law [is] not given for a righteous [person] but for the lawless and rebellious, for the ungodly and sinners, for the unholy and totally worldly, for the one who kills his father and the one who kills his mother, for murderers,

I am grateful to the one who has strengthened me, Christ Jesus our Lord, because he considered me faithful in putting me into ministry,

one who was formerly a blasphemer, a persecutor, and an arrogant man. But I received mercy because I acted out of ignorance in unbelief.

for kings and all who are in [positions of] high authority, so that we may live a peaceful and quiet life in all godliness and dignity.

For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus;

One that ruleth well his own house, having his children in subjection with all gravity;

(and if any one his own house how to lead hath not known, how an assembly of God shall he take care of?)

Not one newly taken into the church, for fear that, through his high opinion of himself, he may come into the same sin as the Evil One.

Let no one despise your youth; instead, you should be an example to the believers in speech, in conduct, in love, in faith, in purity.

Do not say sharp words to one who has authority in the church, but let your talk be as to a father, and to the younger men as to brothers:

But the widow [who is one] truly, and is left alone, has put her hope in God and continues in her petitions and prayers night and day.

But the one who lives for pleasure is dead even while she lives.

and if any one for his own -- and especially for those of the household -- doth not provide, the faith he hath denied, and than an unbeliever he is worse.

Let not a widow be taken into the number under threescore years old, having been the wife of one man,

and has a reputation for good works: as one who has raised children, practiced hospitality, washed the feet of the saints, helped those in distress -- as one who has exhibited all kinds of good works.

So it is my desire that the younger widows may be married and have children, controlling their families, and giving the Evil One no chance to say anything against them,

Be laying hands quickly on no one, nor be having fellowship with sins of others; be keeping thyself pure;

if any one be teaching otherwise, and do not consent to sound words -- those of our Lord Jesus Christ -- and to the teaching according to piety,

the only One who has immortality,dwelling in unapproachable light;no one has seen or can see Him,to Him be honor and eternal might.Amen.

And to do good, having wealth in good works, being quick to give, taking part with one another;

That is why I suffer as I do. However, I am not ashamed, for I know the one in whom I have put my trust, and I'm convinced that he is able to protect what he has entrusted to me until the day that he comes.

Be ready to do without the comforts of life, as one of the army of Christ Jesus.

No one serving as a soldier gets entangled in the concerns of civilian life; he seeks to please the recruiter.

Moreover, no one who is an athlete wins a prize unless he competes according to the rules.

In which I put up with the hardest conditions, even prison chains, like one who has done a crime; but the word of God is not in chains.

Nevertheless the foundation of God standeth sure, having this seal, The Lord knoweth them that are his. And, Let every one that nameth the name of Christ depart from iniquity.
