Of the

The God of patience and consolation give unto every one of you, that ye be like likeminded one towards another after the example of Jesus Christ:

God forbid. How shall we that are dead, as touching sin, live any longer therein?

And thereto the hand of God was in Judah, to make them of one accord to do the commandment of the king and the captains, which was according to the word of the LORD.

And I will give them one heart, and one way, that they may fear me all the days of their life, that they and their children after them may prosper.

And the multitude of them that believed, were of one heart; And of one soul. Also, none of them said that any of the things which he possessed was his own: But had all things common.

I beseech you, brethren, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that all speak one thing and that there be no dissension among you: but be ye perfect in one mind, and one meaning.

Only let your conversation be, as it becometh the gospel of Christ: that whether I come and see you, or else be absent, I may yet hear of you, that ye continue in one spirit, and in one soul laboring as we do to maintain the faith of the gospel,

fulfil my joy, that ye draw one way, having one love, being of one accord, and of one mind,

Nevertheless in that whereunto we are come, let us proceed by one rule, that we may be of one accord.

I pray Euodia, and beseech Syntyche that they be of one accord in the Lord.

In conclusion, be ye all of one mind, one suffer with another, love as brethren, be pitiful, be courteous,

Mind

{A song of the stairs} LORD, I am not high-minded; I have no proud looks. I do not exercise myself in great matters which are too high for me.

And seekest thou yet promotion? Look not for it, and desire it not. For I will bring a miserable plague upon all flesh, sayeth the LORD. But thy life will I give thee for a prey, wheresoever thou goest."

The same time the disciples came to Jesus saying, "Who is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven?"

And he said unto her, "What wilt thou have?" She said unto him, "Grant that these my two sons may sit, the one on thy right hand, and the other on thy left hand in thy kingdom."

And the devil said unto him, "All this power will I give thee every whit, and the glory of them: for that is delivered to me, and to whosoever I will I give it:

And there was a strife among them, which of them should be taken for the greatest.

Not as though ye were lords over the parishes: but that ye be an example to the flock.

I wrote unto the congregation: but Diotrephes which loveth to have the preeminence among them, receiveth us not,

And it was given unto him to make war with the saints, and to overcome them. And power was given him over all kindred, tongue, and nation:

Condescend to men of low estate

Did I ever think scorn to do right unto my servants and maidens, when they had any matter against me?

"Behold, God casteth not away the mighty, for he himself is mighty in power and wisdom.

Whoso laugheth the poor to scorn, blasphemeth his maker; and he that is glad of another man's hurt, shall not be unpunished.

As for the poor, he is hated among all his brethren; yea, his own friends forsake him, and he that giveth credence unto words, getteth nothing.

Therefore I say unto you, be not careful for your life what ye shall eat, or what ye shall drink, nor yet for your body, what raiment ye shall put on. Is not the life more worth than meat? and the body more of value than raiment?

The blind see, the halt go, the lepers are cleansed, the deaf hear, the dead are risen again, and the glad tidings is preached to the poor.

For ye shall have poor folk always with you: but me shall ye not have always.

And he lifted up his eyes upon the disciples, and said, "Blessed be ye poor: for yours is the kingdom of God.

Let your conversation be without covetousness, and be content with that ye have already. For he verily said, "I will not fail thee, neither forsake thee."

Hearken, my dear beloved brethren, hath not God chosen the poor of this world, which are rich in faith, and heirs of the kingdom, which he promised to them that love him?

Be not

I would not that this secret should be hid from you my brethren, lest ye should be wise in your own conceits: that partly blindness is happened in Israel, until the fullness of the gentiles be come in.

Be not wise in thine own conceit, but fear the LORD, and depart from evil:

If thou seest a man that is wise in his own conceit, there is more hope in a fool than in him.

Woe be unto them that are wise in their own sight, and think themselves to have understanding.

Let no man deceive himself. If any man seem wise among you, let him be a fool in this world, that he may be wise.

We are fools for Christ's sake, and ye are wise through Christ: we are weak, and ye are strong. Ye are honorable, and we are despised.

This I say to your shame. Is there utterly no wise man among you? What, not one at all? That can judge between brother and brother?

If any man think that he knoweth anything, he knoweth nothing yet as he ought to know.

If any man be wise and endued with learning among you, let him show the works of his good conversation in meekness that is coupled with wisdom.
