Hosea 10:1

John 15:1-6

[Jesus continued], "I am the real vine, and my Father is the owner of the vineyard.

Romans 14:7-8

For none of us lives for his own benefit [only], and none of us dies for his own benefit [only].

So, from now on we will not regard any person by worldly standards, even though we [once] regarded Christ that way. But we will not regard Him [that way] anymore. [Note: Paul seems to be saying that before his conversion he viewed Christ on the basis of His family, His education, His position, etc., but since his conversion he does not view Him that way anymore].

Philippians 2:21

For everyone else is looking out for his own interests, not for those of Jesus Christ.
