Matthew 16:18

2. 12For just as the body is one and has
many members, and all the members of
the body, though many, are one body,
so it is with Christ.
13For in one Spirit we were all
baptized into one body—Jews or Greeks,
slaves or free—and all were made to
drink of one Spirit.
14For the body does not consist of one
member but of many.
15If the foot should say, “Because I
am not a hand, I do not belong to the
1 Cor 12:12-20

3. 16And if the ear should say, “Because
I am not an eye, I do not belong to
the body,” that would not make it any
less a part of the body.
17If the whole body were an eye, where
would be the sense of hearing? If the
whole body were an ear, where would be
the sense of smell?
18But as it is, God arranged the
members in the body, each one of them,
as he chose.
19If all were a single member, where
would the body be?
1 Cor 12:12-20

18And I tell you, you are Peter, and
on this rock I will build my church
(ekklesia) , and the gates of hell
shall not prevail against it.
John 1:12-13 (New Living Translation)

become children of God. 13 They are
reborn—not with a physical birth
resulting from human passion or plan,
but a birth that comes from God.
