11 And He Himself gave some to be apostles, some prophets, some evangelists,
and some pastors and teachers,

12 for the equipping of the saints for the work of ministry, for the edifying of the body of Christ,

13 till we all come to the unity of the faith
and of the knowledge of the Son of God,
to a perfect man,
to the measure of the stature of the fullness of Christ;

14 that we should no longer be children,
tossed to and fro and carried about with every wind of doctrine, by the trickery of men, in the cunning craftiness of deceitful plotting,

15 but, speaking the truth in love, may grow up in all things
into Him who is the head — Christ —

16 from whom the whole body, joined and knit together
by what every joint supplies, according to the effective working by which every part does its share, causes growth of the body

for the edifying of itself in love. NKJV

Therefore if there is any consolation in Christ, if any comfort of love,

if any fellowship of the Spirit, if any affection and mercy,

3 Let nothing be done through selfish ambition or conceit,
but
in lowliness of mind
let each esteem others better than himself.

4 Let each of you look out not only for his own interests,
but also for
the interests of others.
NKJV

not the things which are of Christ Jesus. NKJV

For I say, through the grace given to me,
to everyone who is among you,
not to think of himself more highly than he ought to think, but to think soberly,
as God has dealt to each one a measure of faith.

4 For as we have many members in one body, but
all the members do not have the same function,

5 so we, being many, are one body in Christ, and
individually members of one another. NKJV

1 Peter 3:8-9

Finally, all of you be of one mind, having compassion for one another; love as brothers,

blessing,
knowing that you were called to this,
that you may inherit a blessing.
NKJV

"I do not pray for these alone, but also for
those who will believe in Me through their word;

are in Me,

and I in You;
that they also may be one in Us,
that the world may believe that You sent Me.

22 And the glory which You gave Me I have given them,
that they may be one
just as We are one:

23 I in them,
and You in Me;
that they may be made perfect in one, and that

the world may know that You have sent Me, and
have loved them
as You have loved Me.
NKJV

And one who sows discord among brethren.
