John 17:21-22
21 that all of them may be one, Father, just as you are in me and I am in you. May they also be in us so that the world may believe that you have sent me. 22 I have given them the glory that you gave me, that they may be one as we are one: 1 Peter 4:8 Above all, love each other deeply, because love covers over a multitude of sins. James 4:7 Submit yourselves, then, to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you. Matthew 6:14-15 For if you forgive men when they sin against you, your heavenly Father will also forgive you. But if you do not forgive men their sins, your Father will not forgive your sins. Ephesians 4:32 Be kind and compassionate to one another, forgiving each other, just as in Christ God forgave you. |
1 Corinthians 8:1-3 1 Now about food sacrificed to idols: We know that we all possess knowledge. Knowledge puffs up, but love builds up.
2 The man who thinks he knows something does not yet know as he ought to know. 3 But the man who loves God is known by God. Romans 12:2 Do not conform any longer to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God's will is — his good, pleasing and perfect will. Matthew 9:17 Neither do men pour new wine into old wineskins. If they do, the skins will burst, the wine will run out and the wineskins will be ruined. No, they pour new wine into new wineskins, and both are preserved." Matthew 5:48 Be perfect, therefore, as your heavenly Father is perfect. |
