Philippians 2:1-4
So does belonging to Christ help you in any way? Does his love comfort you at all? Do you share anything in common because of the Holy Spirit? Has Christ ever been gentle and loving toward you?If any of these things has happened to you, then agree with one another. Have the same love. Be one in spirit and in the way you think and act. By doing this, you will make my joy complete.Don’t do anything only to get ahead. Don’t do it because you are proud. Instead, be humble. Value others more than yourselves.None of you should look out just for your own good. Each of you should also look out for the good of others.

James 3:13-18
Is anyone among you wise and understanding? That person should show it by living a good life. A wise person isn’t proud when they do good deeds.But suppose your hearts are jealous and bitter. Suppose you are concerned only about getting ahead. Then don’t brag about it. And don’t say no to the truth.Wisdom like this doesn’t come down from heaven. It belongs to the earth. It doesn’t come from the Holy Spirit. It comes from the devil.Are you jealous? Are you concerned only about getting ahead? Then your life will be a mess. You will be doing all kinds of evil things.But the wisdom that comes from heaven is pure. That’s the most important thing about it. And that’s not all. It also loves peace. It thinks about others. It obeys. It is full of mercy and good fruit. It is fair. It doesn’t pretend to be what it is not.Those who make peace plant it like a seed. They will harvest a crop of right living.

The Holy Spirit makes you one in every way. So try your best to remain as one. Let peace keep you together.There is one body and one Spirit. You were appointed to one hope when you were chosen.There is one Lord, one faith and one baptism.There is one God and Father of all. He is over everything. He is through everything. He is in everything.But each one of us has received a gift of grace. These gifts are given to us by Christ.

2 Corinthians 12 19

1 Corinthians 14 12-1 Corinthians 14 17
It’s the same with you. You want the gifts of the Spirit. So try to do your best in using gifts that build up the church.So here is what the person who speaks in languages they had not known before should do. They should pray that they can explain what they say.If I pray in another language, my spirit prays. But my mind does not pray.So what should I do? I will pray with my spirit. But I will also pray with my understanding. I will sing with my spirit. But I will also sing with my understanding.Suppose you are praising God in the Spirit. And suppose there are visitors among you who want to know what’s going on. How can they say“ Amen” when you give thanks? They don’t know what you are saying.You are certainly giving thanks. But no one else is being built up.

1 Corinthians 7 15
But if the unbeliever leaves, let that person go. In that case, the believer does not have to stay married to the unbeliever. God wants us to live in peace.
