'Uniting' in the Bible

And not for that nation only, but for the purpose of uniting in one body the children of God all over the world.

If then there is any comfort in Christ, any help given by love, any uniting of hearts in the Spirit, any loving mercies and pity,

Through him uniting all things with himself, having made peace through the blood of his cross; through him, I say, uniting all things which are on earth or in heaven.
