'One' in the Bible

He rendered the Law inoperative, along with its commandments and regulations, thus creating in himself one new humanity from the two, thereby making peace,

and reconciling both groups to God in one body through the cross, on which he eliminated the hostility.

For through him, both of us have access to the Father by one Spirit.

Now to the one who can do infinitely more than all we can ask or imagine according to the power that is working among us

demonstrating all expressions of humility, gentleness, and patience, accepting one another in love.

There is one body and one Spirit. Likewise, you were called to the one hope of your calling.

There is one Lord, one faith, one baptism,

one God and Father of all, who is above all, through all, and in all.

Now to each one of us grace has been given proportionate to the measure of the Messiah's gift.

The one who went down is the same one who went up above all the heavens so that all things would be fulfilled.

Instead, by speaking the truth in love, we will grow up completely and become one with the head, that is, one with the Messiah,

Therefore, stripping off falsehood, "let each of us speak the truth to his neighbor," for we belong to one another.

And be kind to one another, compassionate, forgiving one another just as God has forgiven you in the Messiah.

Then you will recite to one another psalms, hymns, and spiritual songs; you will sing and make music to the Lord with your hearts;

and you will submit to one another out of reverence for the Messiah.

For no one has ever hated his own body, but he nourishes and tenderly cares for it, as the Messiah does the church.

"That is why a man will leave his father and mother and be united with his wife, and the two will become one flesh."

In addition to having clothed yourselves with these things, having taken up the shield of faith, with which you will be able to put out all the flaming arrows of the evil one,

always praying joyfully in every one of my prayers for all of you

I am convinced of this, that the one who began a good action among you will bring it to completion by the Day of the Messiah Jesus.

The only thing that matters is that you continue to live as good citizens in a manner worthy of the gospel of the Messiah. Then, whether I come to see you or whether I stay away, I may hear all about you that you are standing firm in one spirit, struggling with one mind for the faith of the gospel,

then fill me with joy by having the same attitude, sharing the same love, being united in spirit, and keeping one purpose in mind.

Then every tongue in one accord, will say that Jesus the Messiah is Lord, while God the Father praising.

Indeed, he was sick to the point of death, but God had mercy on him, and not only on him but also on me, so that I would not have one sorrow on top of another.

and be found in him, not having a righteousness of my own that comes from the Law, but one that comes through the faithfulness of the Messiah, the righteousness that comes from God and that depends on faith.

Brothers, I do not consider myself to have embraced it yet. But this one thing I do: Forgetting what lies behind and straining forward to what lies ahead,

I say this so that no one will mislead you with nice-sounding rhetoric.

See to it that no one enslaves you through philosophy and empty deceit according to human tradition, according to the basic principles of the world, and not according to the Messiah,

Therefore, let no one judge you in matters of food and drink or with respect to a festival, a New Moon, or Sabbath days.

Let no one who delights in humility and the worship of angels cheat you out of the prize by rejoicing about what he has seen. Such a person is puffed up for no reason by his carnal mind.

Do not lie to one another, for you have stripped off the old nature with its practices

and have clothed yourselves with the new nature, which is being renewed in full knowledge, consistent with the image of the one who created it.

Be tolerant of one another and forgive each other if anyone has a complaint against another. Just as the Lord has forgiven you, you also should forgive.

Let the peace of the Messiah also rule in your hearts, to which you were called in one body, and be thankful.

Let the word of the Messiah inhabit you richly with wisdom, teaching and admonishing one another with psalms, hymns, and spiritual songs, and singing to God with thankfulness in your hearts.

He is coming with Onesimus, that faithful and dear brother, who is one of you. They will tell you everything that is happening here.

Epaphras, who is one of you, a servant of the Messiah Jesus, sends you his greetings. He is always wrestling in his prayers for you, so that you may stand mature, completely convinced of the entire will of God.

When this letter has been read among you, have it read also in the church of the Laodiceans, and be sure to read the one from Laodicea.

and to wait for his Son whom he raised from the dead to come back from heaven. This Jesus is the one who rescues us from the coming wrath.

so that no one would be shaken by these persecutions, for which you are aware that we were destined.

So then, encourage one another with these words.

So then, encourage one another and build each other up, as you are doing.

Make sure that no one pays back evil for evil. Instead, always pursue what is good for each other and for everyone else.

The one who calls you is faithful, and he will continue to be faithful.

Brothers, at all times we are obligated to thank God for you. It is right to do this because your faith is growing all the time and the love every one of you has for each other is increasing.

Then the lawless one will be revealed, whom the Lord will destroy with the breath of his mouth, rendering him powerless by the manifestation of his coming.

The coming of the lawless one will be accompanied by the power of Satan. He will use every kind of power, including miraculous signs, lying wonders,

But the Lord is faithful and will strengthen you and protect you from the evil one.

There is one God. There is also one mediator between God and human beings a human, the Messiah Jesus.

This is a trustworthy saying: The one who would an elder be, a noble task desires he.

Therefore, an elder must be blameless, the husband of one wife, stable, sensible, respectable, hospitable to strangers, and teachable.

Ministers must be husbands of one wife and must manage their children and their families well.

A widow may be put on the widows' list if she is at least sixty years old and has been the wife of one husband.

He alone has endless life and lives in inaccessible light. No one has ever seen him, nor can anyone see him. Honor and eternal power belong to him! Amen.

For God did not give us a spirit of timidity but one of power, love, and self-discipline.

That is why I suffer as I do. However, I am not ashamed, for I know the one in whom I have put my trust, and I'm convinced that he is able to protect what he has entrusted to me until the day that he comes.

No one serving in the military gets mixed up in civilian matters, for his aim is to please his commanding officer.

Moreover, no one who is an athlete wins a prize unless he competes according to the rules.

At my first trial no one came to my defense. Everyone abandoned me. May it not be held against them!

An elder must be blameless. He must be the husband of one wife and have children who are believers and who are not accused of having wild lifestyles or of being rebellious.

One of their very own prophets said, "Liars ever, men of Crete, savage brutes that live to eat."

After all, we ourselves were once foolish, disobedient, and misled. We were slaves to many kinds of lusts and pleasures, spending our days in malice and jealousy. We were despised, and we hated one another.

because both the one who sanctifies and those who are being sanctified all have the same Father. That is why Jesus is not ashamed to call them brothers

Therefore, since the children have flesh and blood, he himself also shared the same things, so that by his death he might destroy the one who has the power of death (that is, the Devil)

He was faithful to the one who appointed him, just as Moses was in all God's household,

Instead, continue to encourage one another every day, as long as it is called "Today," so that none of you may be hardened by the deceitfulness of sin,

because the one who enters God's rest has himself rested from his own actions, just as God did from his.

Let us, therefore, make every effort to enter that rest, so that no one may fail by following their example of disobedience.

No creature can hide from him, but everyone is exposed and helpless before the eyes of the one to whom we must give a word of explanation.

For we do not have a high priest who is unable to sympathize with our weaknesses. Instead, we have one who in every respect has been tempted as we are, yet he never sinned.

No one takes this honor upon himself but he is called to it by God, just as Aaron was.

As a mortal man, he offered up prayers and appeals with loud cries and tears to the one who was able to save him from death, and he was heard because of his devotion to God.

For when God made his promise to Abraham, he swore an oath by himself, since he had no one greater to swear by.

One might even say that Levi, who collects the tenth, paid the tenth through Abraham,

Now if perfection could have been attained through the Levitical priesthood for on this basis the people received the Law what further need would there be to speak of appointing another kind of priest according to the order of Melchizedek, not one according to the order of Aaron?

For the person we are talking about belonged to a different tribe, and no one from that tribe has ever served at the altar.

There have been many priests, since each one of them had to stop serving in office when he died.

We need such a high priest one who is holy, innocent, pure, set apart from sinners, exalted above the heavens.

They serve in a sanctuary that is a copy, a shadow of the heavenly one. This is why Moses was warned when he was about to build the tent: "See to it that you make everything according to the pattern that was shown you on the mountain."

If the first covenant had been faultless, there would have been no need to look for a second one,

In speaking of a "new" covenant, he has made the first one obsolete, and what is obsolete and aging will soon disappear.

For where there is a will, the death of the one who made it must be established.

For a will is in force only when somebody has died, since it never takes effect as long as the one who made it is alive.

For the Messiah did not go into a sanctuary made by human hands that is merely a copy of the true one, but into heaven itself, to appear now in God's presence on our behalf.

But when this priest had offered for all time one sacrifice for sins, "he sat down at the right hand of God."

Let us continue to hold firmly to the hope that we confess without wavering, for the one who made the promise is faithful.

And let us continue to consider how to motivate one another to love and good deeds,

not neglecting to meet together, as is the habit of some, but encouraging one another even more as you see the day of the Lord coming nearer.

For we know the one who said, "Vengeance belongs to me; I will pay them back," and again, "The Lord will judge his people."

For "in a very little while the one who is coming will return he will not delay;

but my righteous one will live by faith, and if he turns back, my soul will take no pleasure in him."

By faith Enoch was taken away without experiencing death. He could not be found, because God had taken him away. For before he was taken, he won approval as one who pleased God.

By faith Sarah, even though she was old and barren, received the strength to conceive, because she was convinced that the one who had made the promise was faithful.

Abraham was as good as dead, yet from this one man came descendants as numerous as the stars in the sky and as countless as the sand on the seashore.

Instead, they were longing for a better country, that is, a heavenly one. That is why God is not ashamed to be called their God, because he has prepared a city for them.

By faith he left Egypt, without being afraid of the king's anger, and he persevered because he saw the one who is invisible.

Think about the one who endured such hostility from sinners, so that you may not become tired and give up.

For the Lord disciplines the one he loves, and he punishes every son he accepts."

Pursue peace with everyone, as well as holiness, without which no one will see the Lord.

See to it that no one fails to obtain the grace of God and that no bitter root grows up and causes you trouble, or many of you will become defiled.
