“The Holy One, the True One, the One who has the key of David, who opens and no one will close, and closes and no one opens says:

One who eats must not look down on one who does not eat, and one who does not eat must not criticize one who does, because God has accepted him.

one Lord, one faith, one baptism,

Just one thing: Live your life in a manner worthy of the gospel of Christ. Then, whether I come and see you or am absent, I will hear about you that you are standing firm in one spirit, with one mind, working side by side for the faith that comes from the gospel,

The one who has My commands and keeps them is the one who loves Me. And the one who loves Me will be loved by My Father. I also will love him and will reveal Myself to him.”
