'One' in the Bible

And because the revelations were so very great, in order that I might not be overmuch lifted up, there was given to me a thorn in the flesh, one sent from Satan to give me pain.

For what is there in which you were made less than the other churches, but in the one thing that I was not a trouble to you? Let me have forgiveness for this wrong.

Let this be my last word, brothers; be glad; be complete; be comforted; be of the same mind; be at peace with one another: and the God of love and peace will be with you.

Give one another a holy kiss.

Only it came to their ears that he who at one time was cruel to us is now preaching the faith which before had been attacked by him;

Give me an answer to this one question, Did the Spirit come to you through the works of the law, or by the hearing of faith?

Brothers, as men would say, even a man's agreement, when it has been made certain, may not be put on one side, or have additions made to it.

Now to Abraham were the undertakings given, and to his seed. He says not, And to seeds, as of a great number; but as of one, he says, And to your seed, which is Christ.

Now a go-between is not a go-between of one; but God is one.

There is no Jew or Greek, servant or free, male or female: because you are all one in Jesus Christ.

Because it is in the Writings, that Abraham had two sons, one by the servant-woman, and one by the free woman.

Which things have a secret sense; because these women are the two agreements; one from the mountain of Sinai, giving birth to servants, which is Hagar.

Because you, brothers, were marked out to be free; only do not make use of your free condition to give the flesh its chance, but through love be servants one to another.

For all the law is made complete in one word, even in this, Have love for your neighbour as for yourself.

But if you are given to fighting with one another, take care that you are not the cause of destruction one to another.

For the flesh has desires against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh; because these are opposite the one to the other; so that you may not do the things which you have a mind to do.

Let us not be full of self-glory, making one another angry, having envy of one another.

Brothers, if a man is taken in any wrongdoing, you who are of the Spirit will put such a one right in a spirit of love; keeping watch on yourself, for fear that you yourself may be tested.

Take on yourselves one another's troubles, and so keep the law of Christ.

To the praise of the glory of his grace, which he freely gave to us in the Loved One:

Among whom we all at one time were living in the pleasures of our flesh, giving way to the desires of the flesh and of the mind, and the punishment of God was waiting for us even as for the rest.

But now in Christ Jesus you who at one time were far off are made near in the blood of Christ.

For he is our peace, who has made the two into one, and by whom the middle wall of division has been broken down,

Having in his flesh put an end to that which made the division between us, even the law with its rules and orders, so that he might make in himself, of the two, one new man, so making peace;

And that the two might come into agreement with God in one body through the cross, so putting an end to that division.

Because through him the two of us are able to come near in one Spirit to the Father.

With all gentle and quiet behaviour, taking whatever comes, putting up with one another in love;

There is one body and one Spirit, even as you have been marked out by God in the one hope of his purpose for you;

One Lord, one faith, one baptism,

One God and Father of all, who is over all, and through all, and in all.

But to every one of us has grace been given in the measure of the giving of Christ.

And so, putting away false words, let everyone say what is true to his neighbour: for we are parts one of another.

And do not give way to the Evil One.

And be kind to one another, full of pity, having forgiveness for one another, even as God in Christ had forgiveness for you.

Being certain of this, that no man who gives way to the passions of the flesh, no unclean person, or one who has desire for the property of others, or who gives worship to images, has any heritage in the kingdom of Christ and God.

For you at one time were dark, but now are light in the Lord: let your behaviour be that of children of light

And do not take overmuch wine by which one may be overcome, but be full of the Spirit;

Joining with one another in holy songs of praise and of the Spirit, using your voice in songs and making melody in your heart to the Lord;

Letting yourselves be ruled by one another in the fear of Christ.

And might take it for himself, a church full of glory, not having one mark or fold or any such thing; but that it might be holy and complete.

For this cause will a man go away from his father and mother and be joined to his wife, and the two will become one flesh.

Take up God's instruments of war, so that you may be able to keep your position against all the deceits of the Evil One.

And most of all, using faith as a cover to keep off all the flaming arrows of the Evil One.

Only let your behaviour do credit to the good news of Christ, so that if I come and see you or if I am away from you, I may have news of you that you are strong in one spirit, working together with one soul for the faith of the good news;

Make my joy complete by being of the same mind, having the same love, being in harmony and of one mind;

Brothers, it is clear to me that I have not come to that knowledge; but one thing I do, letting go those things which are past, and stretching out to the things which are before,

And you, who in the past were cut off and at war with God in your minds through evil works, he has now made one

Take care that no one takes you away by force, through man's wisdom and deceit, going after the beliefs of men and the theories of the world, and not after Christ:

Do not make false statements to one another; because you have put away the old man with all his doings,

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.

Being gentle to one another and having forgiveness for one another, if anyone has done wrong to his brother, even as the Lord had forgiveness for you:

And let the peace of Christ be ruling in your hearts, as it was the purpose of God for you to be one body; and give praise to God at all times.

Let the word of Christ be in you in all wealth of wisdom; teaching and helping one another with songs of praise and holy words, making melody to God with grace in your hearts.

And with him I have sent Onesimus, the true and well-loved brother, who is one of you. They will give you word of everything which is taking place here.

Epaphras, who is one of you, a servant of Christ Jesus, sends you his love, ever taking thought for you in his prayers, that you may be complete and fully certain of all the purpose of God.

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 give you increase of love in fullest measure to one another and to all men, even as our love to you;

So that every one of you may keep his body holy and in honour;

But about loving the brothers, there is no need for me to say anything to you in this letter: for you have the teaching of God that love for one another is right and necessary;

So then, give comfort to one another with these words.

So then, go on comforting and building up one another, as you have been doing.

Let no one give evil for evil; but ever go after what is good, for one another and for all.

It is right for us to give praise to God at all times for you, brothers, because of the great increase of your faith, and the wealth of your love for one another;

For the secret of evil is even now at work: but there is one who is keeping back the evil till he is taken out of the way.

And then will come the revelation of that evil one, whom the Lord Jesus will put to death with the breath of his mouth, and give to destruction by the revelation of his coming;

Even the one whose coming is marked by the working of Satan, with all power and signs and false wonders,

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

The Bishop, then, is to be a man of good name, the husband of one wife, self-controlled, serious-minded, having respect for order, opening his house freely to guests, a ready teacher;

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.

And he is to have a good name among those outside the church, so that nothing may be said against him and he may not be taken by the designs of the Evil One.

Let Deacons be husbands of one wife, ruling their children and their houses well.

Let no one make little of you because you are young, but be an example to the church in word, in behaviour, in love, in faith, in holy living.

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:

If anyone has no care for his family and those in his house, he is false to the faith, and is worse than one who has no faith.

Let no woman be numbered among the widows who is under sixty years old, and only if she has been the wife of one man,

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,

Do not take as true any statement made against one in authority, but only if two or three give witness to it.

I give you orders before God and Christ Jesus and the angels of God's selection, to keep these orders without giving thought to one side more than another.

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

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

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.

And so they may get themselves free from the net of the Evil One, being made the prisoners of the Lord's servant, for the purpose of God.

At my first meeting with my judges, no one took my part, but all went away from me. May it not be put to their account.

Men having a good record, husbands of one wife, whose children are of the faith, children of whom it may not be said that they are given to loose living or are uncontrolled.

One of their prophets has said, The men of Crete are ever false, evil beasts, lovers of food, hating work.

For in the past we were foolish, hard in heart, turned from the true way, servants of evil desires and pleasures, living in bad feeling and envy, hated and hating one another.

For he who makes holy and those who are made holy are all of one family; and for this reason it is no shame for him to give them the name of brothers,

And because the children are flesh and blood, he took a body himself and became like them; so that by his death he might put an end to him who had the power of death, that is to say, the Evil One;

My brothers, take care that there is not by chance in any one of you an evil heart without belief, turning away from the living God:

But give comfort to one another every day as long as it is still Today; so that no one among you may be made hard by the deceit of sin:

For in one place he has said of the seventh day, And God had rest from all his works on the seventh day;

Because of this, let us have a strong desire to come into that rest, and let no one go after the example of those who went against God's orders.

For we have not a high priest who is not able to be touched by the feelings of our feeble flesh; but we have one who has been tested in all points as we ourselves are tested, but without sin.

As for those who at one time saw the light, tasting the good things from heaven, and having their part in the Holy Spirit,

Now at the present time, men over whom death has power take the tenth; but then it was taken by one of whom it is witnessed that he is living.

So the law which went before is put on one side, because it was feeble and without profit.

(For those were made priests without an oath, but this one was made a priest with an oath by him who says of him, The Lord gave his oath, which he will not take back, that you are a priest for ever);

It was right for us to have such a high priest, one who is holy and without evil, doing no wrong, having no part with sinners, and made higher than the heavens:

For Christ did not go into a holy place which had been made by men's hands as the copy of the true one; but he went into heaven itself, and now takes his place before the face of God for us.

But when Jesus had made one offering for sins for ever, he took his place at the right hand of God;
