For just as in one body we have many members, and not all the members serve the same function,

But we who are strong ought to bear with the failings of the weak, and not just please ourselves.

And again, “Praise the Lord all you Gentiles, and let all the peoples praise him.”

And I want you to be free from concern. An unmarried man is concerned about the things of the Lord, how to please the Lord.

And there are different results, but the same God who produces all of them in everyone.

But as a matter of fact, God has placed each of the members in the body just as he decided.

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

It is not rude, it is not self-serving, it is not easily angered or resentful.

And now these three remain: faith, hope, and love. But the greatest of these is love.

So then, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; what is old has passed away – look, what is new has come!

for the weapons of our warfare are not human weapons, but are made powerful by God for tearing down strongholds. We tear down arguments

Indeed, the signs of an apostle were performed among you with great perseverance by signs and wonders and powerful deeds.

(for he who empowered Peter for his apostleship to the circumcised also empowered me for my apostleship to the Gentiles)

So also we, when we were minors, were enslaved under the basic forces of the world.

Now the church is his body, the fullness of him who fills all in all.

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

Now what is the meaning of “he ascended,” except that he also descended to the lower regions, namely, the earth?

He, the very one who descended, is also the one who ascended above all the heavens, in order to fill all things.

But practicing the truth in love, we will in all things grow up into Christ, who is the head.

But all things being exposed by the light are made evident.
