21 in order that they may all be one; just-as you, Father, are in me and I in you; in order that they may also be one in us; in order that the world may believe that you sent me.

John 17:21
Ephesians 4:1-13
1 Therefore, I, the prisoner in the Lord, am encouraging you to walk worthily of the calling in which you were called,
2 with all humility and meekness, with patience tolerating one another in love.
3 Be diligent to keep the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace.
4 There is one body and one Spirit, just-as you were also called in one hope of your calling;
5 one Lord, one faith, one immersion,
6 one God and Father of all, who is over all and through all and in us all.
7 Now the grace was given to each one of us according to the measure of the gift of the Christ. 8 Hence he says, ‘When he ascended onto high, he captured captivity and gave presents to men.’ 9 Now this saying, He ascended, (what is it saying?) except that he also came down into the downward parts of the earth first? 10 He who came down is also the same as he who ascended up above all the heavens, in order that he might fill all things.
11 And he gave some to be : the apostles, and the prophets, and the evangelists, and the shepherds and teachers 12 for the equipping of the holy-ones, for the work of the service, for the building up of the body of the Christ, 13 till we all might achieve to the unity of the faith and of the full knowledge of the Son of God, to a mature man, to the measure of the stature of the fullness of the Christ,

1 Corinthians 11:19
19 For it is essential for sects to be also among you, in order that those who are the approved ones may become apparent among you.
Galatians 3:20
20 Now the intermediary is not of just one, but God is one.
Matthew 16:18
18 But I also say to you, that you are {F} Peter and upon this, the rock, I will be building my congregation of believers, and the gates of Hades will not be prevailing against her.
Romans 12:4-21
4 For just-as we have many members in one body, and all the members do not have the same function;
5 so we, the many, are one body in Christ, and every one members of one another.
6 Now having assorted gifts according to the grace which was given to us; if prophecy, then prophesy according to the analogy of the faith;
7 if service, in the service; if he who is teaching, in the teaching;
8 if he who is encouraging, in the encouragement; he who is giving, in liberality; he who is governing, do in diligence; he who is showing-mercy to others, do with joyfulness.
9 Let the love be non-pretended, abhorring evil things, joining yourselves to what is the good thing. 10 Be tenderly loving to one another in the love of the brethren; being the leader for one another in honor; 11 not lazy in your diligence being zealous in your spirit; serving the Lord; 12 rejoicing in the hope; enduring in your affliction; persevering in your prayer; 13 sharing in the needs of the holy-ones; pursuing your hospitality. 14 Speak well of those who are persecuting you; speak well and do not curse. 15 Ready to rejoice with the ones rejoicing and to weep with the ones weeping. 16 Being mindful of the same things toward one another and not being mindful of the exalted things, but involve yourself with the humble. Do not become too prudent with yourselves. 17 Repay to no one evil in exchange-for evil. Plan-for good things in the sight of all men. 18 If possible, what is from you should be at peace with all men.
19 Beloved, do not be avenging yourselves, but give a chance for the wrath of God; for it has been written, ‘Vengeance is for me. I will be repaying, says the Lord.’ 20 Therefore, if your enemy hungers, feed him; if he is thirsty, give him a drink; for while doing this, you will be piling up hot-coals of fire upon his head. 21 Do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good.

1 Corinthians 1:13
13 Has Christ been divided? Paul was not crucified on your behalf, was he? Or were you immersed into the name of Paul?
Matthew 12:25
25 But Jesus knowing their contemplations said to them, Every kingdom divided against itself is made desolate, and every city or house divided against itself will not stand.
John 17:20-26
20 I am not requesting concerning these only, but concerning those who also believe in me through their word;
21 in order that they may all be one; just-as you, Father, are in me and I in you; in order that they may also be one in us; in order that the world may believe that you sent me.
22 And the glory which you have given me I have given to them; they may be one, just-as we are one;
23 I am in them and you are in me, in order that they may be completed into one and the world may know that you sent me and you loved them, just-as you loved me.
24 Father, I wish that they, whom you have given me, may also be with me where I am, in order that they may view my glory, which you gave me, because you loved me before the conception of the world.
25 O righteous Father, the world did not know you, but I knew you, and these knew that you sent me;
26 and I made known to them your name and will be making it known; in order that the love in which you loved me may be in them and I am in them.
1 Corinthians 3:4-7
4 For whenever someone says, I am indeed of Paul, but a different one, I am of Apollos, are you not fleshly?
5 Therefore, who is Paul? And who is Apollos? But servants through whom you believed, even as the Lord gave to each.
6 I planted, Apollos watered, but God was causing the growth.
7 So-then neither is the one who is planting anything, nor the one who is watering, but God who is causing the growth.
Titus 2:1
1 But as for you, speak the things which are suitable to the sound teaching.
2 John 1:9
9 Everyone who transgresses and is not abiding in the teaching of the Christ, does not have God. He who abides in the teaching of Christ, this one has both the Father and the Son.
Galatians 1:6-10
6 I marvel that you are so quickly transferring yourselves from the one who called you by the favor of Christ to a different good-news;
7 which is not another good-news, except now there are some who are disturbing you and wish to pervert the good-news of the Christ.
8 But even if we or a messenger from heaven, should proclaim to you any good-news contrary to what we proclaimed to you, let him be accursed.
9 As we have said before, so now I am saying again, if anyone proclaims to you any good-news contrary to what you received, let him be accursed.
10 For am I now persuading men or God? Or am I seeking to please men? For if I was still pleasing men, I myself would not be a bondservant of Christ.
1 Corinthians 12:12-31
12 For just-as the body is one and has many members and all the members of the one body, being many, are one body; so also is the Christ.
13 For also, we were all immersed into one body, in one Spirit, whether Jews or Greeks, whether bondservants or free men, and all were made to drink into one Spirit.
14 For the body is not one member, but many.
15 If the foot says, Because I am not the hand, I am not from the body; contrary to this, is it not from the body?
16 And if the ear says, Because I am not the eye, I am not from the body; contrary to this, is it not from the body?
17 If the whole body were an eye, where is the hearing? If the whole body were hearing, where is the sense of smell?
18 But now God has placed the members in the body, each one of them, just-as he willed.
19 Now if they were all one member, where is the body?
20 But now they are indeed many members, but one body.
21 Now the eye is not able to say to the hand, I have no need of you; or again the head to the feet, I have no need of you.
22 But much rather now, those members of the body that seem to be weaker are necessary;
23 and those things of the body which we think to be more dishonored, we place even-more honor upon these, and our indecent parts have even-more decency;
24 but our decent parts have no need. But God mixed the body together, having given even-more honor to the ones which are lacking;
25 in order that no splits should be in the body, but in order that the members should have the same anxiety on behalf of one another.
26 And if one member is suffering, all the members are suffering together with it. If one member is glorified, all the members are rejoicing together with it.
27 Now you are the body of Christ and members individually.
28 And indeed God placed some in the congregation of believers, first apostles, second prophets, third teachers, thereafter miracles, thereafter gifts of healing, helps, those who pilot others, those with varieties of languages.
29 All are not apostles, are they? All are not prophets, are they? All are not teachers, are they? All are not workers of miracles, are they?
30 All do not have gifts of healing, do they? All do not speak with foreign languages, do they? All do not translate, do they?
31 But be zealous for the better gifts. And I will show to you still a surpassingly-better way.
Ephesians 4:4-5
Romans 16:17
17 Now brethren, I am encouraging you, to note those making the dissensions and the offenses contrary to the teaching which you learned and are practicing, and shun away from them.
1 Corinthians 1:12-13
1 Corinthians 1:10
10 Now brethren, I am pleading with you through the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, in order that you all should speak the same thing and there should be no splits among you, but you should be framed together in the same mind and in the same viewpoint.
