Bible verses about "individuality" | VIN

³¹ So whether you eat or drink or whatever you do, do it all to the glory of God.

¹⁴ For the body is not made up of one member but of many. ¹⁵ If the foot should say, "Because I am not a hand, I do not belong to the body," it would not for that reason be any less a part of the body. ¹⁶ And if the ear should say, "Because I am not an eye, I do not belong to the body," it would not for that reason be any less a part of the body. ¹⁷ If the whole body were an eye, where would the sense of hearing be? If the whole body were an ear, where would the sense of smell be? ¹⁸ But now God has arranged the members in the body, each one of them, just as he desired. ¹⁹ If they were all one part, where would the body be?

⁸ "My thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways," declares the LORD.

³⁰ And even the very hairs of your head are all numbered.

⁷ And even the very hairs of your head are all numbered. So do not be afraid; you are worth more than many sparrows.

¹⁹ Though I am free of obligation to anyone, I make myself a slave to everyone, to win as many as possible. ²⁰ To the Jews I became like a Jew, to win the Jews. To those under the Law I became like one under the Law (though I myself am not under the Law), to win those under the Law. ²¹ To those without the Law I became like one without the Law (though I am not outside the law of God but am under the law of Christ), to win those without the Law. ²² To the weak I became weak, to win the weak. I have become all things to all men, so that by all possible means I might save some of them. ²³ I do all this for the sake of the gospel, so that I may share in its blessings.

²⁰ As it is, there are many parts, but one body.

¹ Brothers, if someone is caught in a trespass, you who are spiritual should restore him with a spirit of gentleness. But watch yourself, or you also may be tempted. ² Carry one another’s burdens, and in this way you will fulfill the Law of Christ. ³ If anyone thinks he is something when he is nothing, he deceives himself. ⁴ Each one should test his own work. Then he will have reason to boast in himself alone, and not in someone else. ⁵ For each one should carry his own load. ⁶ However, the one who receives instruction in the word must share in all good things with his instructor. ⁷ Do not be deceived. God is not mocked! A man will harvest what he sows. ⁸ The one who sows to please his flesh, from the flesh will reap destruction; but the one who sows to please the Spirit, from the Spirit will reap eternal life. ⁹ And let us not grow weary in doing good, for at the proper time we will reap, if we do not give up. ¹⁰ Therefore, as we have opportunity, let us do good to all men, especially to those who belong to the household of faith. ¹¹ See what large letters I make as I write to you with my own hand. ¹² Those who want to make a good impression outwardly are trying to compel you to be circumcised. They only do this to avoid persecution for the cross of Christ. ¹³ For not even they who are circumcised obey the law; but they want you to be circumcised so that they may boast over your flesh. ¹⁴ But as for me, may I never boast except in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ, through which the world has been crucified to me, and I to the world. ¹⁵ For neither circumcision nor uncircumcision means anything. What counts is a new creation. ¹⁶ Peace and mercy to all who walk by this rule, even to the Israel of God. ¹⁷ Finally, let no one cause me trouble, for I carry on my body the marks of Jesus. ¹⁸ The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirit, brothers. Amen.

⁴ Just as each of us has one body with many members, and not all members have the same function, ⁵ so in Christ we who are many are one body, and each member belongs to one another. ⁶ We have different gifts according to the grace given us. If someone’s gift is prophecy, let him use it in proportion to his faith; ⁷ if it is serving, let him serve; if it is teaching, let him teach; ⁸ if it is encouraging, let him encourage; if it is giving, let him give generously; if it is leading, let him lead with diligence; if it is showing mercy, let him do it cheerfully.

⁷ Even in the case of lifeless instruments, such as the flute or harp, how will anyone recognize the tune they are playing unless the notes are distinct?

¹⁴ For the body is not made up of one member but of many. ¹⁵ If the foot should say, "Because I am not a hand, I do not belong to the body," it would not for that reason be any less a part of the body. ¹⁶ And if the ear should say, "Because I am not an eye, I do not belong to the body," it would not for that reason be any less a part of the body. ¹⁷ If the whole body were an eye, where would the sense of hearing be? If the whole body were an ear, where would the sense of smell be? ¹⁸ But now God has arranged the members in the body, each one of them, just as he desired. ¹⁹ If they were all one part, where would the body be? ²⁰ As it is, there are many parts, but one body.

⁵ “Before I formed you in the womb, I knew you. Before you were born, I sanctified you. I have appointed you a prophet to the nations.”

⁴ Each one should test his own work. Then he will have reason to boast in himself alone, and not in someone else.

¹³ For you formed my inmost being. You knit me together in my mother's womb. ¹⁴ I praise you, because I am fearfully and wonderfully made. Wonderful are your works, and my soul knows it well. ¹⁵ My frame wasn’t hidden from you, when I was made in secret, woven together in the depths of the earth. ¹⁶ Your eyes saw my embryo and all were written in your book; the days ordained for me. Even this before one had taken place.
