¹⁵ Now if the foot should say, “Because I am not a hand, I do not belong to the body,” it would not for that reason stop being 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 stop being 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 in fact God [YAHUAH] has placed the parts in the body, every one of them, just as he wanted them to be.¹⁹ If they were all one part, where would the body be? ²⁰ As it is, there are many parts, but one body.

 ²¹ The eye cannot say to the hand, “I don’t need you!” And the head cannot say to the feet, “I don’t need you!” ²² On the contrary, those parts of the body that seem to be weaker are indispensable, ²³ and the parts that we think are less honorable we treat with special honor. And the parts that are unpresentable are treated with special modesty, ²⁴ while our presentable parts need no special treatment. But God has put the body together, giving greater honor to the parts that lacked it, ²⁵ so that there should be no division in the body, but that its parts should have equal concern for each other. ²⁶ If one part suffers, every part suffers with it; if one part is honored, every part rejoices with it.

 ²⁷ Now you are the body of Christ, and each one of you is a part of it. ²⁸ And God [YAHUAH] has placed in the church first of all apostles, second prophets, third teachers, then miracles, then gifts of healing, of helping, of guidance, and of different kinds of tongues. ²⁹ Are all apostles? Are all prophets? Are all teachers? Do all work miracles? ³⁰ Do all have gifts of healing? Do all speak in tongues? Do all interpret? ³¹ Now eagerly desire the greater gifts.  And yet I will show you the most excellent way.  Note: see the page on love to read Paul's teaching on the most excellent way.

Galatians 5:19-21

The acts of the flesh are obvious: sexual immorality, impurity and debauchery; ²⁰ idolatry and witchcraft; hatred, discord, jealousy, fits of rage, selfish ambition, dissensions, factions ²¹ and envy; drunkenness, orgies, and the like. I warn you, as I did before, that those who live like this will not inherit the kingdom of God [YAHUAH].  Note: The ancient Greek manuscripts use the words "divisions and sects" instead of "dissensions and factions".  Sect is the Greek word " hairesis" (Strong's # 139) which means sect, party, or group.  The same word is translated as "party" in Acts 5:17 Then the high priest and all his associates, who were members of the party of the Sadducees, were filled with jealousy. Also in Acts 15:5 Then some of the believers who belonged to the party of the Pharisees. Today we call them denominations! 

Acts 26:5

They have known me for a long time and can testify, if they are willing, that I conformed to the strictest sect of our religion, living as a Pharisee.  Note: Even the old testament Jews allowed man's reasoning into their highest levels of YAHUAH's elect, causing the creation of two sects (Pharisee and Sadducee).

2 Peter 2:2

Many will follow their depraved conduct and will bring the way of truth into disrepute.

Ephesians 3:6

This mystery is that through the gospel the Gentiles are heirs together with Israel, members together of one body, and sharers together in the promise in Christ Jesus [Yahushua].

Ephesians 4:3-6

Make every effort to keep the unity of the Spirit through the bond of peace. ⁴ There is one body and one Spirit, just as you were called to one hope when you were called; ⁵ one Lord [Yahushua], one faith, one baptism; ⁶one God and Father [YAHUAH] of all, who is over all and through all and in all.

Philippians 1:27

John 17:20-23

1 Timothy 6:20-21

Timothy, guard what has been entrusted to your care. Turn away from godless chatter and the opposing ideas of what is falsely called knowledge, 

²¹ which some have professed and in so doing have departed from the faith.
