- For as in one body we have many members, and the members do not all have the same function, so we, though many, are one body in Christ, and individually members one of another.
- For just as the body is one and has many members, and all the members of the body, though many, are one body, so it is with Christ.
- Do not present your members to sin as instruments for unrighteousness, but present yourselves to God as those who have been brought from death to life, and your members to God as instruments for righteousness.
- If your right eye causes you to sin, tear it out and throw it away. For it is better that you lose one of your members than that your whole body be thrown into hell.
- So then you are no longer strangers and aliens, but you are fellow citizens with the saints and members of the household of God, built on the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Christ Jesus himself being the cornerstone.
- But if anyone does not provide for his relatives, and especially for members of his household, he has denied the faith and is worse than an unbeliever.
- Put to death therefore what is earthly in you: sexual immorality, impurity, passion, evil desire, and covetousness, which is idolatry.
- And let the peace of Christ rule in your hearts, to which indeed you were called in one body. And be thankful.
- So then, as we have opportunity, let us do good to everyone, and especially to those who are of the household of faith.
He only is my rock and my salvation,
my fortress; I shall not be shaken. Do not be deceived: God is not mocked, for whatever one sows, that will he also reap.Next verse!With image
