16The cup of blessing which we bless, isn`t it a communion of the blood of Christ? The bread which we break, isn`t it a communion of the body of Christ?

17Seeing that we, who are many, are one bread, one body; for we all partake of the one bread.

17But in giving you this command, I don`t praise you, that you come together not for the better but for the worse.

18For first of all, when you come together in the assembly, I hear that divisions exist among you, and I partly believe it.

19For there must be also factions among you, that those who are approved may be revealed among you.

20When therefore you assemble yourselves together, it is not possible to eat the Lord`s supper.

21For in your eating each one takes his own supper before others. One is hungry, and another is drunken.

22What, don`t you have houses to eat and to drink in? Or do you despise God`s assembly, and put them to shame who don`t have? What will I tell you? Will I praise you? In this I don`t praise you.

12For as the body is one, and has many members, and all the members of the body, being many, are one body; so also is Christ.

13For in one Spirit were we all baptized into one body, whether Jews or Greeks, whether bond or free; and were all made to drink into one Spirit.

14For the body is not one member, but many.

15If the foot would say, "Because I`m not the hand, I`m not part of the body," it is not therefore not part of the body.

16If the ear would say, "Because I`m not the eye, I`m not part of the body," it`s not therefore not part of the body.

17If the whole body were an eye, where would the hearing be? If the whole were hearing, where would the smelling be?

18But now God has set the members, each one of them, in the body, just as he desired.

19If they were all one member, where would the body be?

20But now they are many members, but one body.

21The eye can`t tell the hand, "I have no need for you," or again the head to the feet, "I have no need for you."

22No, much rather, those members of the body which seem to be weaker are necessary.

23Those parts of the body which we think to be less honorable, on those we bestow more abundant honor; and our unpresentable parts have more abundant propriety;

24whereas our presentable parts have no such need. But God composed the body together, giving more abundant honor to the inferior part,

25that there should be no division in the body, but that the members should have the same care for one another.

26When one member suffers, all the members suffer with it. Or when one member is honored, all the members rejoice with it.

27Now you are the body of Christ, and members individually.

1Brothers, I couldn`t speak to you as to spiritual, but as to fleshly, as to babes in Christ.

2I fed you with milk, not with meat; for you weren`t yet ready. Indeed, not even now are you ready,

3for you are still fleshly. For insofar as there is jealousy, strife, and factions among you, aren`t you fleshly, and don`t you walk in the ways of men?

4For when one says, "I follow Paul," and another, "I follow Apollos," aren`t you fleshly?

5Who then is Apollos, and who is Paul, but servants through whom you believed; and each as the Lord gave to him?

6I planted. Apollos watered. But God gave the increase.

7So then neither he who plants is anything, nor he who waters, but God who gives the increase.

8Now he who plants and he who waters are the same, but each will receive his own reward according to his own labor.

9For we are God`s fellow workers. You are God`s farming, God`s building.

21Therefore let no one boast in men. For all things are yours,

22whether Paul, or Apollos, or Cephas, or the world, or life, or death, or things present, or things to come. All are yours,

23and you are Christ`s, and Christ is God`s.

14For he is our peace, who made both one, and broke down the middle wall of partition,

15having abolished in the flesh the hostility, the law of commandments contained in ordinances, that he might create in himself one new man of the two, making peace;

16and might reconcile them both in one body to God through the cross, having killed the hostility thereby.

17He came and preached peace to you who were far off, and peace to those who were near.

18For through him we both have our access in one Spirit to the Father.

19So then you are no longer strangers and sojourners, but you are fellow citizens with the saints, and of the household of God,

6that the Gentiles are fellow heirs, and fellow members of the body, and fellow partakers of the promise in Christ Jesus through the gospel,

13until we all attain to the unity of the faith, and of the knowledge of the Son of God, to a full grown man, to the measure of the stature of the fullness of Christ;

14that we may no longer be children, tossed back and forth and carried about with every wind of doctrine, by the trickery of men, in craftiness, after the wiles of error;

15but speaking truth in love, we may grow up in all things into him, who is the head, Christ;

16from whom all the body, being fitted and knit together through that which every joint supplies, according to the working in measure of each individual part, makes the body increase to the building up of itself in love.

1I therefore, the prisoner in the Lord, beg you to walk worthily of the calling with which you were called,

2with all lowliness and humility, with longsuffering, bearing with one another in love;

3being eager to keep the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace.

4There is one body, and one Spirit, even as you also were called in one hope of your calling;

5one Lord, one faith, one baptism,

6one God and Father of all, who is over all, and through all, and in us all.

32Be kind to one another, tenderhearted, forgiving each other, just as God also in Christ forgave you.

11But when Peter came to Antioch, I resisted him to the face, because he stood condemned.

12For before some people came from James, he ate with the Gentiles. But when they came, he drew back and separated himself, fearing those who were of the circumcision.

13The rest of the Jews joined him in his hypocrisy; so much that even Barnabas was carried away with their hypocrisy.

14But when I saw that they didn`t walk uprightly according to the truth of the gospel, I said to Cephas before them all, "If you, being a Jew, live as the Gentiles do, and not as the Jews do, why do you compel the Gentiles to live as the Jews do?

26For you are all sons of God, through faith in Christ Jesus.

27For as many of you as were baptized into Christ have put on Christ.

28There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither slave nor free man, there is neither male nor female; for you are all one in Christ Jesus.

29If you are Christ`s, then you are Abraham`s seed, heirs according to promise.

13For you, brothers, were called for freedom. Only don`t use your freedom for gain to the flesh, but through love be servants to one another.

14For the whole law is fulfilled in one word, in this: "You shall love your neighbor as yourself."

15But if you bite and devour one another, be careful that you don`t consume one another.

10So then, as we have opportunity, let us work that which is good toward all men, and especially toward those who are of the household of the faith.

1Brothers, even if a man is caught in some fault, you who are spiritual must restore such a one in a spirit of gentleness; looking to yourself so that you also aren`t tempted.

2Bear one another`s burdens, and so fulfill the law of Christ.

3For if a man thinks himself to be something when he is nothing, he deceives himself.

4But let each man test his own work, and then he will take pride in himself and not in his neighbor.

5For each man will bear his own burden.

27Only let your manner of life be worthy of the gospel of Christ, that, whether I come and see you or am absent, I may hear of your state, that you stand firm in one spirit, with one soul striving for the faith of the gospel;

14Do all things without murmurings and disputes,

1If there is therefore any exhortation in Christ, if any consolation of love, if any fellowship of the Spirit, if any tender mercies and compassion,

2make my joy full, that you be of the same mind, having the same love, being of one accord, of one mind;

3doing nothing through rivalry or through conceit, but in humility, each counting others better than himself;

4each of you not just looking to his own things, but each of you also to the things of others.

15Let us therefore, as many as are perfect, think this way. If in anything you think otherwise, this God will also reveal that to you.

16Nevertheless, to the extent that we have already attained, let us walk by the same rule. Let us be of the same mind.

2I exhort Euodia, and I exhort Syntyche, to think the same way in the Lord.

3Yes, I beg you also, true yoke-fellow, help these women, for they labored with me in the gospel, with Clement also, and the rest of my fellow workers, whose names are in the book of life.

9The things which you learned, received, heard, and saw in me: do these things, and the God of peace will be with you.

16no longer as a slave, but more than a slave, a beloved brother, specially to me, but how much rather to you, both in the flesh and in the Lord.

17If then you count me a partner, receive him as you would receive me.

2to the beloved Apphia, to Archippus, our fellow soldier, and to the assembly in your house:

25The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirit. Amen.

6that the fellowship of your faith may become effective, in the knowledge of every good thing which is in us, in Christ Jesus.

7For we have much joy and comfort in your love, because the hearts of the saints have been refreshed through you, brother.

1Therefore I beg you, brothers, by the mercies of God, to present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable to God, which is your spiritual service.

2Don`t be fashioned according to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, so that you may prove what is the good and acceptable and perfect will of God.

1But receive him who is weak in faith, not for judging thoughts.

19So then, let us follow after things which make for peace, and things whereby we may build one another up.

2Let each one of us please his neighbor for that which is good, to be building him up.

7Therefore receive one another, even as Christ also received you, to the glory of God.
