    24For our comely parts have no need: but God hath tempered the body together, having given more abundant honour to that part which lacked:

    25That there should be no schism in the body; but that the members should have the same care one for another.

    12But when ye sin so against the brethren, and wound their weak conscience, ye sin against Christ.

    13Wherefore, if meat make my brother to offend, I will eat no flesh while the world standeth, lest I make my brother to offend.

Selected passage

2:5Let this mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus:

2:6Who, being in the form of God, thought it not robbery to be equal with God:

2:7But made himself of no reputation, and took upon him the form of a servant, and was made in the likeness of men:

2:8And being found in fashion as a man, he humbled himself, and became obedient unto death, even the death of the cross.

2:9Wherefore God also hath highly exalted him, and given him a name which is above every name:

2:10That at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of things in heaven, and things in earth, and things under the earth;

2:11And that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.
