1 Corinthians 12:13-18 KJV 13 For by one Spirit are we all baptized into one body, whether we be Jews or Gentiles, whether we be bond or free; and have been all made to drink into one Spirit. 14 For the body is not one member, but many. 15 If the foot shall say, Because I am not the hand, I am not of the body; is it therefore not of the body? 16 And if the ear shall say, Because I am not the eye, I am not of the body; is it therefore not of the body? 17 If the whole body were an eye, where were the hearing? If the whole were hearing, where were the smelling? 18 But now hath God set the members every one of them in the body, as it hath pleased him.

thank you for adding to the thread, in the manner you have.
in order to add to the scriptures you shared, from the same scriptures context...
John 8:27-31 "....so Jesus said "when you have lifted up the Son of man then you will know I am who I claim to be and that I do nothing on my own, but speak just what the Father has taught me. The One who sent me is with me; He has not left me alone, for I always do what pleases Him. Even as He spoke, many put their faith in Him. To those who had believed in Him, Jesus said " IF YOU HOLD TO MY TEACHING; YOU ARE REALLY MY DISCIPLES. THEN YOU WILL KNOW THE TRUTH AND THE TRUTH WILL SET YOU FREE" ....(then v34-35)
Galatians 5:16-21 " So I say Live by the spirit, and you will not gratify the desires of the sinful nature. for the sinful nature desires what is contrary to the spirit, and the spirit what is contrary to the sinful nature. they are in conflict with each other, so that you do not do what you want ( romans 7:14-24) But IF you are LED by the spirit (*romans 8:1-11) you are not under Law. the acts of the sinful natureare obvious ; sexual immorality, impurity and debauchery, idolatry and witchcraft, hatred, discord, jealousy, fits of rage, SELFISH ambiton, dissention, factions and envy, drunkenness AND THE LIKE. I warn you AS I DID BEFORE those who LIVE like this will not inherit the Kingdom of God."
galatians 5:24 " those who belong to Christ have crucified the sinful nature with its passions and desires since we live by the spirit, let us KEEP in step with the spirit."
1 john 2:28-29 "and now dear children, CONTINUE IN HIM, so that when He appears we may be confident and unashamed before Him at His coming. If you know that He is righteous, you know that everyone who DOES WHAT IS RIGHT has been born of Him ( your scriptures in 1 john go here) v3 everyone who has this hope in Him purifies himself, Just as HE is pure. v4 everyone who sins breaks the law, in fact sin is lawlessness. But you know that he appeared SO THAT he might TAKE AWAY our sins and in HIM is no sin."
1 john 3:7 -8 " Dear children do not let anyone lead you astray, He who does what is right is righteous, just as He is righteous, He who does what is sinful is of the devil, because the devil has been sinning from the beginning. The reason the SON of God appeared was to destroy the devils work"
God bless you Bruce. as you are led into the presence of Jesus Christ
Bless the Lord, he is surely good That was a good one bikerchaz! Amen to that!
I will try off of yours,
Just as it says, all scripture is also (in 2 Tim 3:16) given for reproof
Prov 1:23 Turn you at my reproof: behold, I will pour out my spirit unto you, I will make known my words unto you.
As of the prophecy,,
2 Peter 1:21 For the prophecy came not in old time by the will of man: but holy men of God spake as they were moved by the Holy Ghost.
And again,
Behold, I will pour out my spirit unto you, I will make known my words unto you.
And just as
The inspiration of the Almighty giveth them understanding (Job 3:28)
Jesus breathed on them, and saith unto them,
Receive ye the Holy Ghost
1 Cr 2:16...But we have the mind of Christ.
Again,
All scripture is given by the inspiration of God,
And we are given to know,
Job 32:8 But there is a spirit in man: and the inspiration of the Almighty giveth them understanding.
In Jesus Christ it shows
Luke 24:25 Then opened he their understanding, that they might understand the scriptures,
The gift of God by Christ
1 Peter 4:10 As every man hath received the gift,even so minister the same one to another, as good stewards of the manifold grace of God.
1 Peter 4:11 If any man speak, let him speak as the oracles of God; if any man minister, let him do it as of the ability which God giveth:
For this reason,
that God in all things may be glorified through Jesus Christ, to whom be praise and dominion for ever and ever. Amen.
And again.
2Ti 3:16 All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness
Purpose,
That the man of God may be perfect, throughly furnished unto all good works.
And His teachers taught this...
1 John 2:27 But the anointing which ye have received of him abideth in you, and ye need not that any man teach you: but as the same anointing teacheth you of all things, and is truth, and is no lie, and even as it hath taught you, ye shall abide in him.
That is usually pitted against the teachers, but at least there is an example of the same teaching ye need not (in that anointing) received any man teach you.
God bless you, peace

[h=3]First we do this, be this;
Psalm 1[/h][SUP]1 [/SUP]Blessed is the one
who does not walk in step with the wicked
or stand in the way that sinners take
or sit in the company of mockers,
[SUP]2 [/SUP]but whose delight is in the law of the Lord,
and who meditates on his law day and night.
[SUP]3 [/SUP]That person is like a tree planted by streams of water,
which yields its fruit in season
and whose leaf does not wither—
whatever they do prospers.
[SUP]4 [/SUP]Not so the wicked!
They are like chaff
that the wind blows away.
[SUP]5 [/SUP]Therefore the wicked will not stand in the judgment,
nor sinners in the assembly of the righteous.
[SUP]6 [/SUP]For the Lord watches over the way of the righteous,
but the way of the wicked leads to destruction.
Because of this;
[h=3]Psalm 2[/h][SUP]1 [/SUP]Why do the nations conspire[SUP][a][/SUP]
and the peoples plot in vain?
[SUP]2 [/SUP]The kings of the earth rise up
and the rulers band together
against the Lord and against his anointed, saying,
[SUP]3 [/SUP]“Let us break their chains
and throw off their shackles.”
[SUP]4 [/SUP]The One enthroned in heaven laughs;
the Lord scoffs at them.
[SUP]5 [/SUP]He rebukes them in his anger
and terrifies them in his wrath, saying,
[SUP]6 [/SUP]“I have installed my king
on Zion, my holy mountain.”
[SUP]7 [/SUP]I will proclaim the Lord’s decree:
He said to me, “You are my son;
today I have become your father.
[SUP]8 [/SUP]Ask me,
and I will make the nations your inheritance,
the ends of the earth your possession.
[SUP]9 [/SUP]You will break them with a rod of iron[SUP][b][/SUP];
you will dash them to pieces like pottery.”
[SUP]10 [/SUP]Therefore, you kings, be wise;
be warned, you rulers of the earth.
[SUP]11 [/SUP]Serve the Lord with fear
and celebrate his rule with trembling.
[SUP]12 [/SUP]Kiss his son, or he will be angry
and your way will lead to your destruction,
for his wrath can flare up in a moment.
Blessed are all who take refuge in him.
Psalm 1[/h][SUP]1 [/SUP]Blessed is the one
who does not walk in step with the wicked
or stand in the way that sinners take
or sit in the company of mockers,
[SUP]2 [/SUP]but whose delight is in the law of the Lord,
and who meditates on his law day and night.
[SUP]3 [/SUP]That person is like a tree planted by streams of water,
which yields its fruit in season
and whose leaf does not wither—
whatever they do prospers.
[SUP]4 [/SUP]Not so the wicked!
They are like chaff
that the wind blows away.
[SUP]5 [/SUP]Therefore the wicked will not stand in the judgment,
nor sinners in the assembly of the righteous.
[SUP]6 [/SUP]For the Lord watches over the way of the righteous,
but the way of the wicked leads to destruction.
Because of this;
[h=3]Psalm 2[/h][SUP]1 [/SUP]Why do the nations conspire[SUP][a][/SUP]
and the peoples plot in vain?
[SUP]2 [/SUP]The kings of the earth rise up
and the rulers band together
against the Lord and against his anointed, saying,
[SUP]3 [/SUP]“Let us break their chains
and throw off their shackles.”
[SUP]4 [/SUP]The One enthroned in heaven laughs;
the Lord scoffs at them.
[SUP]5 [/SUP]He rebukes them in his anger
and terrifies them in his wrath, saying,
[SUP]6 [/SUP]“I have installed my king
on Zion, my holy mountain.”
[SUP]7 [/SUP]I will proclaim the Lord’s decree:
He said to me, “You are my son;
today I have become your father.
[SUP]8 [/SUP]Ask me,
and I will make the nations your inheritance,
the ends of the earth your possession.
[SUP]9 [/SUP]You will break them with a rod of iron[SUP][b][/SUP];
you will dash them to pieces like pottery.”
[SUP]10 [/SUP]Therefore, you kings, be wise;
be warned, you rulers of the earth.
[SUP]11 [/SUP]Serve the Lord with fear
and celebrate his rule with trembling.
[SUP]12 [/SUP]Kiss his son, or he will be angry
and your way will lead to your destruction,
for his wrath can flare up in a moment.
Blessed are all who take refuge in him.
