Matthew 16
18And I tell you that you are Peter, and on this rock I will
build my church, and the gates of Hades will not overcome it.
Colossians 1
18And he is the head of the body, the church; he is the beginning
and the firstborn from among the dead, so that in everything he might have the
supremacy.
Ephesians 5
23For the husband is the head of the wife as Christ is the head
of the church, his body, of which he is the Savior. 24Now as the
church submits to Christ, so also wives should submit to their husbands in
everything.
25Husbands, love your wives, just as Christ loved the church and gave
himself up for her
1 Corinthians 12
12The body is a unit, though it is made up of many parts; and though
all its parts are many, they form one body. So it is with Christ. 13For
we were all baptized by one Spirit into one body--whether Jews or Greeks, slave
or free--and we were all given the one Spirit to drink.
14Now the body is not made up of one part but of many.
2 Timothy 2
19Nevertheless, God's solid foundation stands firm, sealed with
this inscription: "The Lord knows those who are his," and, "Everyone who
confesses the name of the Lord must turn away from wickedness."
Acts 2
The Fellowship of the Believers
42They devoted themselves to the apostles' teaching and to the
fellowship, to the breaking of bread and to prayer.
1 Peter 2
5you also, like living stones, are being built into a spiritual
house to be a holy priesthood, offering spiritual sacrifices acceptable to God
through Jesus Christ. 6For in Scripture it says: "See, I lay a stone in Zion, a chosen and precious cornerstone, and the one who trusts in him will never be put to shame." 7Now to you who believe, this
stone is precious. But to those who do not believe, "The stone the builders rejected has become the capstone, " 8and, "A stone that causes men to stumble and a rock that makes them fall." They stumble because they disobey the
message--which is also what they were destined for.
9But you are a chosen people, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a
people belonging to God, that you may declare the praises of him who called you
out of darkness into his wonderful light.
Hebrews 10
25Let us not give up meeting together, as some are in the habit
of doing, but let us encourage one another--and all the more as you see the Day
approaching.
