'One' in the Bible

Now I mean this, that each one of you is saying, “I am of Paul,” and “I of Apollos,” and “I of Cephas,” and “I of Christ.”

For who among men knows the thoughts of a man except the spirit of the man which is in him? Even so the thoughts of God no one knows except the Spirit of God.

For when one says, “I am of Paul,” and another, “I am of Apollos,” are you not mere men?

What then is Apollos? And what is Paul? Servants through whom you believed, even as the Lord gave opportunity to each one.

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

Now he who plants and he who waters are one; but each will receive his own reward according to his own labor.

For no man can lay a foundation other than the one which is laid, which is Jesus Christ.

For the wisdom of this world is foolishness before God. For it is written, “He is the one who catches the wise in their craftiness”;

So then let no one boast in men. For all things belong to you,

In this case, moreover, it is required of stewards that one be found trustworthy.

For I am conscious of nothing against myself, yet I am not by this acquitted; but the one who examines me is the Lord.

Now these things, brethren, I have figuratively applied to myself and Apollos for your sakes, so that in us you may learn not to exceed what is written, so that no one of you will become arrogant in behalf of one against the other.

You have become arrogant and have not mourned instead, so that the one who had done this deed would be removed from your midst.

I have decided to deliver such a one to Satan for the destruction of his flesh, so that his spirit may be saved in the day of the Lord Jesus.

But actually, I wrote to you not to associate with any so-called brother if he is an immoral person, or covetous, or an idolater, or a reviler, or a drunkard, or a swindler—not even to eat with such a one.

Does any one of you, when he has a case against his neighbor, dare to go to law before the unrighteous and not before the saints?

I say this to your shame. Is it so, that there is not among you one wise man who will be able to decide between his brethren,

Actually, then, it is already a defeat for you, that you have lawsuits with one another. Why not rather be wronged? Why not rather be defrauded?

Or do you not know that the one who joins himself to a prostitute is one body with her? For He says, “The two shall become one flesh.”

But the one who joins himself to the Lord is one spirit with Him.

Stop depriving one another, except by agreement for a time, so that you may devote yourselves to prayer, and come together again so that Satan will not tempt you because of your lack of self-control.

Yet I wish that all men were even as I myself am. However, each man has his own gift from God, one in this manner, and another in that.

Yet if the unbelieving one leaves, let him leave; the brother or the sister is not under bondage in such cases, but God has called us to peace.

Only, as the Lord has assigned to each one, as God has called each, in this manner let him walk. And so I direct in all the churches.

Now concerning virgins I have no command of the Lord, but I give an opinion as one who by the mercy of the Lord is trustworthy.

But I want you to be free from concern. One who is unmarried is concerned about the things of the Lord, how he may please the Lord;

but one who is married is concerned about the things of the world, how he may please his wife,

and his interests are divided. The woman who is unmarried, and the virgin, is concerned about the things of the Lord, that she may be holy both in body and spirit; but one who is married is concerned about the things of the world, how she may please her husband.

Therefore concerning the eating of things sacrificed to idols, we know that there is no such thing as an idol in the world, and that there is no God but one.

yet for us there is but one God, the Father, from whom are all things and we exist for Him; and one Lord, Jesus Christ, by whom are all things, and we exist through Him.

But I have used none of these things. And I am not writing these things so that it will be done so in my case; for it would be better for me to die than have any man make my boast an empty one.

Do you not know that those who run in a race all run, but only one receives the prize? Run in such a way that you may win.

Nor let us act immorally, as some of them did, and twenty-three thousand fell in one day.

Since there is one bread, we who are many are one body; for we all partake of the one bread.

Let no one seek his own good, but that of his neighbor.

If one of the unbelievers invites you and you want to go, eat anything that is set before you without asking questions for conscience’ sake.

But if anyone says to you, “This is meat sacrificed to idols,” do not eat it, for the sake of the one who informed you, and for conscience’ sake;

But every woman who has her head uncovered while praying or prophesying disgraces her head, for she is one and the same as the woman whose head is shaved.

But if one is inclined to be contentious, we have no other practice, nor have the churches of God.

for in your eating each one takes his own supper first; and one is hungry and another is drunk.

So then, my brethren, when you come together to eat, wait for one another.

Therefore I make known to you that no one speaking by the Spirit of God says, “Jesus is accursed”; and no one can say, “Jesus is Lord,” except by the Holy Spirit.

But to each one is given the manifestation of the Spirit for the common good.

For to one is given the word of wisdom through the Spirit, and to another the word of knowledge according to the same Spirit;

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

But one and the same Spirit works all these things, distributing to each one individually just as He wills.

For even as the body is one and yet has many members, and all the members of the body, though they are many, are one body, so also is Christ.

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

For the body is not one member, but many.

But now God has placed the members, each one of them, in the body, just as He desired.

If they were all one member, where would the body be?

But now there are many members, but one body.

so that there may be no division in the body, but that the members may have the same care for one another.

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

For one who speaks in a tongue does not speak to men but to God; for no one understands, but in his spirit he speaks mysteries.

But one who prophesies speaks to men for edification and exhortation and consolation.

One who speaks in a tongue edifies himself; but one who prophesies edifies the church.

Now I wish that you all spoke in tongues, but even more that you would prophesy; and greater is one who prophesies than one who speaks in tongues, unless he interprets, so that the church may receive edifying.

If then I do not know the meaning of the language, I will be to the one who speaks a barbarian, and the one who speaks will be a barbarian to me.

Therefore let one who speaks in a tongue pray that he may interpret.

Otherwise if you bless in the spirit only, how will the one who fills the place of the ungifted say the “Amen” at your giving of thanks, since he does not know what you are saying?

What is the outcome then, brethren? When you assemble, each one has a psalm, has a teaching, has a revelation, has a tongue, has an interpretation. Let all things be done for edification.

If anyone speaks in a tongue, it should be by two or at the most three, and each in turn, and one must interpret;

For you can all prophesy one by one, so that all may learn and all may be exhorted;

After that He appeared to more than five hundred brethren at one time, most of whom remain until now, but some have fallen asleep;

and last of all, as to one untimely born, He appeared to me also.

When all things are subjected to Him, then the Son Himself also will be subjected to the One who subjected all things to Him, so that God may be all in all.

All flesh is not the same flesh, but there is one flesh of men, and another flesh of beasts, and another flesh of birds, and another of fish.

There are also heavenly bodies and earthly bodies, but the glory of the heavenly is one, and the glory of the earthly is another.

There is one glory of the sun, and another glory of the moon, and another glory of the stars; for star differs from star in glory.

On the first day of every week each one of you is to put aside and save, as he may prosper, so that no collections be made when I come.

So let no one despise him. But send him on his way in peace, so that he may come to me; for I expect him with the brethren.

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