'One' in the Bible

so that no one can say you were baptized in my name.

so that no one can boast in His presence.

in order that, as it is written: The one who boasts must boast in the Lord.

For who among men knows the thoughts of a man except the spirit of the man that is in him? In the same way, no one knows the thoughts of God except the Spirit of God.

So then neither the one who plants nor the one who waters is anything, but only God who gives the growth.

Now the one planting and the one watering are one in purpose, and each will receive his own reward according to his own labor.

According to God’s grace that was given to me, I have laid a foundation as a skilled master builder, and another builds on it. But each one must be careful how he builds on it.

For no one can lay any other foundation than what has been laid down. That foundation is Jesus Christ.

No one should deceive himself. If anyone among you thinks he is wise in this age, he must become foolish so that he can become wise.

So no one should boast in human leaders, for everything is yours—

In this regard, it is expected of managers that each one of them be found faithful.

For I am not conscious of anything against myself, but I am not justified by this. The One who evaluates me is the Lord.

Therefore don’t judge anything prematurely, before the Lord comes, who will both bring to light what is hidden in darkness and reveal the intentions of the hearts. And then praise will come to each one from God.

Now, brothers, I have applied these things to myself and Apollos for your benefit, so that you may learn from us the saying: “Nothing beyond what is written.” The purpose is that none of you will be inflated with pride in favor of one person over another.

turn that one over to Satan for the destruction of the flesh, so that his spirit may be saved in the Day of the Lord.

I say this to your shame! Can it be that there is not one wise person among you who is able to arbitrate between his brothers?

Therefore, to have legal disputes against one another is already a moral failure for you. Why not rather put up with injustice? Why not rather be cheated?

Don’t you know that anyone joined to a prostitute is one body with her? For Scripture says, The two will become one flesh.

But anyone joined to the Lord is one spirit with Him.

Do not deprive one another sexually—except when you agree for a time, to devote yourselves to prayer. Then come together again; otherwise, Satan may tempt you because of your lack of self-control.

I wish that all people were just like me. But each has his own gift from God, one person in this way and another in that way.

However, each one must live his life in the situation the Lord assigned when God called him. This is what I command in all the churches.

About virgins: I have no command from the Lord, but I do give an opinion as one who by the Lord’s mercy is trustworthy.

About eating food offered to idols, then, we know that “an idol is nothing in the world,” and that “there is no God but one.”

yet for us there is one God, the Father.All things are from Him,and we exist for Him.And there is one Lord, Jesus Christ.All things are through Him,and we exist through Him.

For if someone sees you, the one who has this knowledge, dining in an idol’s temple, won’t his weak conscience be encouraged to eat food offered to idols?

To the Jews I became like a Jew, to win Jews; to those under the law, like one under the law—though I myself am not under the law—to win those under the law.

To those who are without that law, like one without the law—not being without God’s law but within Christ’s law—to win those without the law.

Don’t you know that the runners in a stadium all race, but only one receives the prize? Run in such a way to win the prize.

Now everyone who competes exercises self-control in everything. However, they do it to receive a crown that will fade away, but we a crown that will never fade away.

Therefore I do not run like one who runs aimlessly or box like one beating the air.

Because there is one bread, we who are many are one body, for all of us share that one bread.

No one should seek his own good, but the good of the other person.

If one of the unbelievers invites you over and you want to go, eat everything that is set before you, without raising questions of conscience.

But if someone says to you, “This is food offered to an idol,” do not eat it, out of consideration for the one who told you, and for conscience’ sake.

But every woman who prays or prophesies with her head uncovered dishonors her head, since that is one and the same as having her head shaved.

Therefore, when you come together, it is not really to eat the Lord’s Supper.

For at the meal, each one eats his own supper ahead of others. So one person is hungry while another gets drunk!

Therefore, my brothers, when you come together to eat, wait for one another.

Therefore I am informing you that no one speaking by the Spirit of God says, “Jesus is cursed,” and no one can say, “Jesus is Lord,” except by the Holy Spirit.

to one is given a message of wisdomthrough the Spirit,to another, a message of knowledgeby the same Spirit,

to another, faith by the same Spirit,to another, gifts of healing by the one Spirit,

But one and the same Spirit is active in all these, distributing to each person as He wills.

For as the body is one and has many parts, and all the parts of that body, though many, are one body—so also is Christ.

For we were all baptized by one Spirit into one body—whether Jews or Greeks, whether slaves or free—and we were all made to drink of one Spirit.

So the body is not one part but many.

But now God has placed each one of the parts in one body just as He wanted.

Now there are many parts, yet one body.

So if one member suffers, all the members suffer with it; if one member is honored, all the members rejoice with it.

For the person who speaks in another language is not speaking to men but to God, since no one understands him; however, he speaks mysteries in the Spirit.

What then is the conclusion, brothers? Whenever you come together, each one has a psalm, a teaching, a revelation, another language, or an interpretation. All things must be done for edification.

For you can all prophesy one by one, so that everyone may learn and everyone may be encouraged.

Then He appeared to over 500 brothers at one time;most of them are still alive,but some have fallen asleep.

Last of all, as to one abnormally born,He also appeared to me.

Foolish one! What you sow does not come to life unless it dies.

Not all flesh is the same flesh; there is one flesh for humans, another for animals, another for birds, and another for fish.

Therefore, no one should look down on him. Send him on his way in peace so he can come to me, for I am expecting him with the brothers.

All the brothers greet you. Greet one another with a holy kiss.

For every one of God’s promises is “Yes” in Him. Therefore, the “Amen” is also spoken through Him by us for God’s glory.

Now it is God who strengthens us, with you, in Christ and has anointed us.

For if I cause you pain, then who will cheer me other than the one being hurt by me?

As a result, you should instead forgive and comfort him. Otherwise, this one may be overwhelmed by excessive grief.

We know that the One who raised the Lord Jesus will raise us also with Jesus and present us with you.

Indeed, we groan in this body, desiring to put on our dwelling from heaven,

And the One who prepared us for this very purpose is God, who gave us the Spirit as a down payment.

For Christ’s love compels us, since we have reached this conclusion: If One died for all, then all died.

And He died for all so that those who live should no longer live for themselves, but for the One who died for them and was raised.

He made the One who did not know sin to be sin for us, so that we might become the righteousness of God in Him.

Accept us. We have wronged no one, corrupted no one, defrauded no one.

So even though I wrote to you, it was not because of the one who did wrong, or because of the one who was wronged, but in order that your diligence for us might be made plain to you in the sight of God.

For if the eagerness is there, it is acceptable according to what one has, not according to what he does not have.

We are taking this precaution so no one can criticize us about this large sum administered by us.

Now the One who provides seed for the sower and bread for food will provide and multiply your seed and increase the harvest of your righteousness.

So the one who boasts must boast in the Lord.

For it is not the one commending himself who is approved, but the one the Lord commends.

For I am jealous over you with a godly jealousy, because I have promised you in marriage to one husband—to present a pure virgin to Christ.

I repeat: No one should consider me a fool. But if you do, at least accept me as a fool, so I too may boast a little.

Are they servants of Christ?I’m talking like a madman—I’m a better one:with far more labors,many more imprisonments,far worse beatings, near death many times.

Five times I received 39 lashes from Jews.

The God and Father of the Lord Jesus, who is praised forever, knows I am not lying.

For if I want to boast, I will not be a fool, because I will be telling the truth. But I will spare you, so that no one can credit me with something beyond what he sees in me or hears from me,

Greet one another with a holy kiss. All the saints greet you.

know that no one is justified by the works of the law but by faith in Jesus Christ. And we have believed in Christ Jesus so that we might be justified by faith in Christ and not by the works of the law, because by the works of the law no human being will be justified.

Now it is clear that no one is justified before God by the law, because the righteous will live by faith.

But the law is not based on faith; instead, the one who does these things will live by them.

Brothers, I’m using a human illustration. No one sets aside or makes additions to even a human covenant that has been ratified.

Now the promises were spoken to Abraham and to his seed. He does not say “and to seeds,” as though referring to many, but referring to one, and to your seed, who is Christ.

Now a mediator is not for just one person, but God is one.

There is no Jew or Greek, slave or free, male or female; for you are all one in Christ Jesus.

For it is written that Abraham had two sons, one by a slave and the other by a free woman.

But the one by the slave was born according to the impulse of the flesh, while the one by the free woman was born as the result of a promise.

These things are illustrations, for the women represent the two covenants. One is from Mount Sinai and bears children into slavery—this is Hagar.

But just as then the child born according to the flesh persecuted the one born according to the Spirit, so also now.

For you were called to be free, brothers; only don’t use this freedom as an opportunity for the flesh, but serve one another through love.

For the entire law is fulfilled in one statement: Love your neighbor as yourself.

But if you bite and devour one another, watch out, or you will be consumed by one another.

We must not become conceited, provoking one another, envying one another.

Carry one another’s burdens; in this way you will fulfill the law of Christ.

The one who is taught the message must share all his good things with the teacher.

because the one who sows to his flesh will reap corruption from the flesh, but the one who sows to the Spirit will reap eternal life from the Spirit.
