16 You know that you are Gods house. The spirit of God lives in you.
9 God never fails anyone. It is he who called you to belong to his Son, Jesus Christ our Lord.
20 I do not ask this for these people only; I ask it also for the people who will believe in me when they hear what these people say.
21 I do this so that the people will all be one. That is the same way with us. You, my Father, belong to me and I belong to you. I ask that they also may be joined to us. Then the world will believe that you have sent me.
22 I have made them great the way you have made me great. That makes us one, as we are one.
23 I belong to them and you belong to me, so that they all may be really one together. Then the world will know that you have sent me and that you have loved them just as you have loved me.
12 A person has only one body, and the body has many parts. It is the same with Christ.
1 We are made good people and put right with God when we believe in Jesus Christ. So now we have peace with God because of what our Lord Jesus Christ did.
2 Because we believe, Christ has brought us to the place where God can do us good. We are in that place now. We are very happy because we have the hope that we shall see Gods greatness.
20 We know that the Son of God has come. He has given us a heart to know him who is true. We belong to him who is true, because we belong to his Son Jesus Christ. He is the true God. He has the life that will live for ever.
13 He has given us of his own Spirit. That is how we know that we are in him and he is in us.
14 And to all of you I say, May the kindness and blessing of the Lord Jesus Christ be upon you. May God show you his love. May you all have the Holy Spirit with you.
16 So the Lord says, Come away from among bad people. Stay away from them. Do not touch what is not clean. And I will receive you.
24 If anyone obeys his laws, he belongs to God and God belongs to him. God has given us the Holy Spirit. That is how we know that God is with us.
20 Where two or three people meet together in my name, I am there with them.
7 So let God control you. Fight the devil and he will run away from you.
8 Come to God and he will come to you. You bad people, make your hands clean! You love what is good and what is wrong at the same time. Make your hearts clean.
3 I heard a loud voice in heaven. It said, Look! Gods house is now set up among the people. God will live with them. They will be his people and God himself will be with them.
20 Listen, I stand at the door and knock. If any one hears my voice and opens the door, I will come in to him. I will eat with him, and he will eat with me.
17 But it is God who has done all this. He sent Christ to make peace with us and to bring us back to himself. Now he has given us the work of bringing other people back to God.
18 God was in Christ. He brought the world back to himself. He forgave them for the wrong things they had done. And he gave us the message that will bring people back to himself.
19 So we are messengers for Christ. God is using us to call people. So we are standing here for Christ and begging people, Come back to God!
7 My dear brothers, we must love one another, because love comes from God. Everyone who loves others is Gods child and he knows God.
3 We tell you also what we have seen and heard. We tell you so that you also will belong with us. And we belong with the Father and the Son.
22 So let us come to him with a true heart. Let us come because we believe all these things. Let us come with our hearts washed clean from our wrong ways. Let us come with our bodies washed with clean water.
28 Now, my children, stay with Christ. Then we will not be afraid on that day when we see him again. We will not be ashamed to stand before him when he comes again.
