- 2 My purpose is that they may be encouraged in heart and united in love,
so that they may have the full riches of complete understanding, in
order that they may know the mystery of God, namely, Christ,

- 5 May the God who gives endurance and encouragement give you a spirit of
unity among yourselves as you follow Christ Jesus, 6 so that with one
heart and mouth you may glorify the God and Father of our Lord Jesus
Christ.
- 7 Accept one another, then, just as Christ accepted you, in order to
bring praise to God. 8 For I tell you that Christ has become a servant
of the Jews on behalf of God's truth, to confirm the promises made to
the patriarchs 9 so that the Gentiles
may glorify God for his mercy, as it is written:
"Therefore I will praise you among the
Gentiles;
I will sing hymns to your
name."

- One in Christ
- 11 Therefore, remember that formerly you who are Gentiles by birth and
called "uncircumcised" by those who call themselves "the
circumcision" (that done in the body by the hands of men)— 12
remember that at that time you were separate from Christ, excluded from
citizenship in Israel and foreigners to the covenants of the promise, without
hope and without God in the world.
13 But now in Christ Jesus you who once were far away have been
brought near through the blood of Christ.

- 14 For he himself is our peace, who has made the two one and has destroyed
the barrier, the dividing wall of hostility, 15 by abolishing in his
flesh the law with its commandments and regulations. His purpose was to
create in himself one new man out of the two, thus making peace, 16 and
in this one body to reconcile both of them to God through the cross, by
which he put to death their hostility. 17 He came and preached peace to
you who were far away and peace to those who were near. 18 For through
him we both have access to the Father by one Spirit.

- 19 Consequently, you are no longer foreigners and aliens, but fellow citizens
with God's people and members of God's household, 20 built on the
foundation of the apostles and prophets, with Christ Jesus himself as
the chief cornerstone. 21 In him the whole building is joined together
and rises to become a holy temple in the Lord. 22 And in him you too are being
built together to become a dwelling in which God lives by his Spirit.

- 5 "I am the vine; you are the branches. If a man remains in me and
I in him, he will bear much fruit; apart from me you can do nothing. 6
If anyone does not remain in me, he is like a branch that is thrown away
and withers; such branches are picked up, thrown into the fire and
burned. 7 If you remain in me and my words remain in you, ask whatever
you wish, and it will be given you. 8 This is to my Father's glory, that
you bear much fruit, showing yourselves to be my disciples.

- 9"As the Father has loved me, so have I loved you. Now remain
in my love. 10 If you obey my commands, you will remain in my love, just
as I have obeyed my Father's commands and remain in his love. 11 I have
told you this so that my joy may be in you and that your joy may be
complete. 12 My command is this: Love each other as I have loved you.

and your minds in Christ Jesus.

the future of the wicked
will be cut off.

he is their stronghold in
time of trouble.

- 8 I will listen to what God the LORD will say;
he promises peace to his
people, his saints—

folly.

our land.

each other.

The zeal of the LORD
Almighty
will accomplish this.

and by his wounds we
are healed.
