Love the LORD your God with all your heart and
with all your soul and with all your mind. This
is the first and greatest commandment. And the
second is like it Love your neighbor as
yourself. All the Law and the Prophets hang on
these two commandments.Matt 2237-40
9
Submit to one another out of reverence for
Christ.Eph. 521
10
Everyone must submit himself to the governing
authorities, for there is no authority except
that which God has established.Rom. 131
11
Wives, submit to your husbands as to the
LORD.Eph. 522 and I Peter 31
12
Children, obey your parents in the LORD, for
this is right, Honor your father and mother
which is the first commandment with a promise
that it may go well with you and that you may
enjoy long life on the earth.Eph. 61-3
13
Slaves, obey your earthly masters with respect
and fear and with sincerity of heart, just as you
would obey Christ. Obey them not only to win
their favor when their eye is on you, but like
slaves of Christ, doing the will of God from your
heart.Eph. 65-6
14
Obey your leaders and submit to their authority.
They keep watch over you as men who must give an
account. Obey them so that their work will be a
joy, not a burden, for that would be of no
advantage to you.Hebrews 1317

CLOSING COMMENTS
16
My prayer is not for them alone. I pray also
for those who will believe in me through their
message, that all of them may be one, Father,
just as you are in me and I am in you May they
be brought to complete unity to let the world
know that you sent me and have loved them even as
you have loved me.John 1720-21 and 23
17
All the believers were one in heart and
mindActs 432
18
Do not be conformed any longer to the pattern of
this world, but be transformed by the renewing of
your mind. Then you will be able to test and
approve what Gods will ishis good, pleasing and
perfect will.Romans 12 2
19
If each of us will seek the mind of Christ and
LET GOD transform our minds to be like him, we
WILL have the same mind with one another.
20
So from now on we regard no one from a worldly
point of view. Though we once regarded Christ in
this way, we do so no longer. Therefore, if
anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation the
old has gone, the new has come! All this is from
God, who reconciled us to himself through Christ
and gave us the ministry of reconciliation that
God was reconciling the world to himself in
Christ, not counting mens sins against them.
And he has committed to us the message of
reconciliation.II Corinthians 516-19
21
Therefore, if you are offering your gift at the
altar and there remember that your brother has
something against you, leave your gift there in
front of the altar. First go and be reconciled
to your brother then come and offer your
gift.Matt. 523 24
22
If your brother sins against you, go and show
him his fault, just between the two of
you.Matt. 1815
23
As Gods fellow workers we urge you not to
receive Gods grace in vain. For he says, In
the time of my favor I heard you, and in the day
of salvation I helped you.I tell you, now is
the time of Gods favor, now is the day of
salvation.
24
Finally, all of you, live in harmony with one
another be sympathetic, love as brothers, be
compassionate and humble. Do not repay evil with
evil or insult with insult, but with blessing,
BECAUSE TO THIS YOU WERE CALLED SO THAT YOU MAY
INHERIT A BLESSING!I Peter 3 8-9
