“For God is not the author of confusion but of peace, as in all the churches of the saints.”
‭‭I Corinthians‬ ‭14‬:‭33‬ ‭NKJV‬‬

“You adulterous people! Do you not know that friendship with the world is enmity with God? Therefore whoever wishes to be a friend of the world makes himself an enemy of God. Or do you suppose it is to no purpose that the Scripture says, “He yearns jealously over the spirit that he has made to dwell in us”? But he gives more grace. Therefore it says, “God opposes the proud but gives grace to the humble.” Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you. Draw near to God, and he will draw near to you. Cleanse your hands, you sinners, and purify your hearts, you double-minded. Be wretched and mourn and weep. Let your laughter be turned to mourning and your joy to gloom. Humble yourselves before the Lord, and he will exalt you.”
‭‭James‬ ‭4‬:‭4‬-‭10‬ ‭ESV‬‬

“for you were bought with a price. So glorify God in your body.”
‭‭1 Corinthians‬ ‭6‬:‭20‬ ‭ESV‬‬

“See what kind of love the Father has given to us, that we should be called children of God; and so we are. The reason why the world does not know us is that it did not know him.”
‭‭1 John‬ ‭3‬:‭1‬ ‭ESV‬‬

“And he alone is the leader and source of everything needed in the church. God has put everything beneath the authority of Jesus Christ and has given him the highest rank above all others. And now we, his church, are his body on the earth and that which fills him who is being filled by it!”
‭‭Ephesians‬ ‭1‬:‭22‬-‭23‬ ‭TPT‬‬

“Furthermore, he gave some people as emissaries, some as prophets, some as proclaimers of the Good News, and some as shepherds and teachers. Their task is to equip God’s people for the work of service that builds the body of the Messiah, until we all arrive at the unity implied by trusting and knowing the Son of God, at full manhood, at the standard of maturity set by the Messiah’s perfection. …..Under his control, the whole body is being fitted and held together by the support of every joint, with each part working to fulfill its function; this is how the body grows and builds itself up in love.”
‭‭Ephesians (Eph)‬ ‭4‬:‭11‬-‭13‬, ‭16‬ ‭CJB‬‬

“Always be humble, gentle and patient, bearing with one another in love, and making every effort to preserve the unity the Spirit gives through the binding power of shalom. There is one body and one Spirit, just as when you were called you were called to one hope. And there is one Lord, one trust, one immersion, and one God, the Father of all, who rules over all, works through all and is in all.”
‭‭Ephesians (Eph)‬ ‭4‬:‭2‬-‭6‬ ‭CJB‬‬

“Therefore, pay careful attention to how you conduct your life — live wisely, not unwisely. Use your time well, for these are evil days. So don’t be foolish, but try to understand what the will of the Lord is. Don’t get drunk with wine, because it makes you lose control. Instead, keep on being filled with the Spirit — sing psalms, hymns and spiritual songs to each other; sing to the Lord and make music in your heart to him; always give thanks for everything to God the Father in the name of our Lord Yeshua the Messiah.”
‭‭Ephesians (Eph)‬ ‭5‬:‭15‬-‭20‬ ‭CJB‬‬

“Keep persisting in prayer, staying alert in it and being thankful.”
‭‭Colossians (Col)‬ ‭4‬:‭2‬ ‭CJB‬‬
