Bible References

I

He who eats my flesh and drinks my blood abides with me, and I with him.

It is because of him you are united with Christ Jesus, who became wisdom to us from God, and righteousness, and sanctification, and redemption.

He made the one who knew no sin to be sin on our behalf. That way we might become the righteousness of God in him.

There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither slave nor free man, there is neither male nor female, for you are all one (united) in Christ Jesus. (John 17:21) (Ephesians 4:4-6)

We declare to you what we have seen and heard. This way you may have fellowship with us. Yes, and our fellowship is with the Father, and with his Son Jesus Christ!

No one has seen God at any time! If we love one another, God lives with us, and his love is perfected (accomplished) (matured) through us.

Made

This is for the perfecting (equipping) (preparing) of the holy ones, for the work of ministering, for the building up of the body of Christ:

Let those of us who are mature have this attitude. If you have a different attitude God will show you how to think.

We preach Christ to everyone. With all possible wisdom we warn and teach them in order to bring each one to God as a mature individual in union with Christ.

I do this that they may be filled with courage and be united (knit) together in love. I have the full assurance that only true understanding brings. In this way they will accurately know God's secret, which is Christ himself.

Above all these things, put on love, which is the bond of perfection and unity.

After you have suffered a little while, the God of all grace who called you to his eternal glory in Christ, will perfect, establish, and strengthen you.

The

All men will know that you are my disciples if you have love for one another.

And hast

Father, I desire that these whom you gave me may be with me where I am. I want them to see the glory you have given me. For you loved me before the creation of the world.

This is to the praise of the glory of his kindness, with which he freely honored us, the loved ones.

Observe the love the Father gave to us that we should be called the children of God. That is what we are! For this reason the world does not know us. This is because it did not know him.

We love, because he first loved us.

General references

He who is joined to the Lord is one (united with him in) spirit.

Diligently try to keep the unity (oneness) of the Spirit in the bond of peace.
