Church: Unity of

A song of ascents. Of David. Behold, how good and pleasant it is when brothers live together in harmony!

I have other sheep that are not of this fold. I must bring them in as well, and they will listen to My voice. Then there will be one flock and one shepherd.

I will no longer be in the world, but they are in the world, and I am coming to You. Holy Father, protect them by Your name, the name You gave Me, so that they may be one as We are one.

…that all of them may be one, as You, Father, are in Me, and I am in You. May they also be in Us, so that the world may believe that You sent Me. …

Just as each of us has one body with many members, and not all members have the same function,

…so in Christ we who are many are one body, and each member belongs to one another.

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

There are different ministries, but the same Lord.

You are all sons of God through faith in Christ Jesus. …

…as a plan for the fullness of time, to bring all things in heaven and on earth together in Christ.

For He Himself is our peace, who has made the two one and has torn down the dividing wall of hostility …

In Him the whole building is fitted together and grows into a holy temple in the Lord.

This mystery is that through the gospel the Gentiles are fellow heirs, fellow members of the body, and fellow partakers of the promise in Christ Jesus.

…from whom every family in heaven and on earth derives its name.

There is one body and one Spirit, just as you were called to one hope when you were called; …

…to equip the saints for works of ministry and to build up the body of Christ,

…until we all reach unity in the faith and in the knowledge of the Son of God, as we mature to the full measure of the stature of Christ.

From Him the whole body, fitted and held together by every supporting ligament, grows and builds itself up in love through the work of each individual part.

Therefore each of you must put off falsehood and speak truthfully to his neighbor, for we are all members of one another.

Here there is no Greek or Jew, circumcised or uncircumcised, barbarian, Scythian, slave, or free, but Christ is all and is in all.

Let the peace of Christ rule in your hearts, for to this you were called as members of one body. And be thankful.
