General Scriptures:
Romans 12:4-8 For as we
have many members in one body, and all members have not the
same office: So we, being many, are one body in Christ, and
every one members one of another. Having then gifts
differing according to the grace that is given to us,
whether prophecy, let us prophesy according to the
proportion of faith; Or ministry, let us wait on our
ministering: or he that teacheth, on teaching; Or he that
exhorteth, on exhortation: he that giveth, let him do it
with simplicity; he that ruleth, with diligence; he that
sheweth mercy, with cheerfulness.

love to us, see that ye abound in this grace also.
2 Peter 1:2-8 Grace and
peace be multiplied unto you through the knowledge of God,
and of Jesus our Lord, According as his divine power hath
given unto us all things that pertain unto life and
godliness, through the knowledge of him that hath called us
to glory and virtue: Whereby are given unto us exceeding
great and precious promises: that by these ye might be
partakers of the divine nature, having escaped the
corruption that is in the world through lust. And beside
this, giving all diligence, add to your faith virtue; and to
virtue knowledge; And to knowledge temperance; and to
temperance patience; and to patience godliness; And to
godliness brotherly kindness; and to brotherly kindness
charity. For if these things be in you, and abound, they
make you that ye shall neither be barren nor unfruitful in
the knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ.
2 Corinthians 4:8-10 We
are troubled on every side, yet not distressed; we are

Jesus might be made manifest in our body.
Romans 8:38-39 For I am
persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor

shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is
in Christ Jesus our Lord.

desire that every one of you do shew the same diligence to
the full assurance of hope unto the end:

shall never fall: For so an entrance shall be ministered
unto you abundantly into the everlasting kingdom of our Lord
and Saviour Jesus Christ.
