16- And if the ear should say, Because I am not an eye, I do not belong to the body, it would not for that reason cease to be part of the body.

18- But in fact God has arranged the parts in the body, every one of them, just as he wanted them to be.
19- If they were all one part, where would the body be?
20- As it is, there are many parts, but one body.
21- The eye cannot say to the hand, I don't need you! And the head cannot say to the feet, I don't need you!
22- On the contrary, those parts of the body that seem to be weaker are indispensable,
23- and the parts that we think are less honourable we treat with special honour. And the parts that are unpresentable are treated with special modesty,
24- while our presentable parts need no special treatment. But God has combined the members of the body and has given greater honour to the parts that lacked it,
25- so that there should be no division in the body, but that its parts should have equal concern for each other.
26- If one part suffers, every part suffers with it; if one part is honoured, every part rejoices with it.
27- Now you are the body of Christ, and each one of you is a part of it.

8- through glory and dishonour, bad report and good report; genuine, yet regarded as impostors;
9- known, yet regarded as unknown; dying, and yet we live on; beaten, and yet not killed;
10- sorrowful, yet always rejoicing; poor, yet making many rich; having nothing, and yet possessing everything.
11- We have spoken freely to you, Corinthians, and opened wide our hearts to you.
12- We are not withholding our affection from you, but you are withholding yours from us.
13- As a fair exchange— I speak as to my children— open wide your hearts also.
14- Do not be yoked together with unbelievers. For what do righteousness and wickedness have in common? Or what fellowship can light have with darkness?
15- What harmony is there between Christ and Belial? What does a believer have in common with an unbeliever?
16- What agreement is there between the temple of God and idols? For we are the temple of the living God. As God has said: I will live with them and walk among them, and I will be their God, and they will be my people.

7-But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus, his Son, purifies us from all sin.
Revelation 21:2,9
2- I saw the Holy City, the new Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God, prepared as a bride beautifully dressed for her husband.

of the Saints.

4- so he got up from the meal, took off his outer clothing, and wrapped a towel round his waist.
5- After that, he poured water into a basin and began to wash his disciples' feet, drying them with the towel that was wrapped round him.
6- He came to Simon Peter, who said to him, Lord, are you going to wash my feet?
7- Jesus replied, You do not realise now what I am doing, but later you will understand.
8- No, said Peter, you shall never wash my feet. Jesus answered, Unless I wash you, you have no part with me.
9- Then, Lord, Simon Peter replied, not just my feet but my hands and my head as well!
10- Jesus answered, A person who has had a bath needs only to wash his feet; his whole body is clean. And you are clean, though not every one of you.
11- For he knew who was going to betray him, and that was why he said not every one was clean.
12- When he had finished washing their feet, he put on his clothes and returned to his place. Do you understand what I have done for you? he asked them.
13- You call me 'Teacher' and 'Lord', and rightly so, for that is what I am.

Tithes and Offerings continuation...

Hebrews 7:1-21
Melchizedek the Priest
1-This Melchizedek was king of Salem and priest of God Most High. He met Abraham returning from the defeat of the kings and blessed him,
2-and Abraham gave him a tenth of everything. First, his name means "king of righteousness"; then also, "king of Salem" means "king of peace."
3-Without father or mother, without genealogy, without beginning of days or end of life, like the Son of God he remains a priest forever.
4-Just think how great he was: Even the patriarch Abraham gave him a tenth of the plunder! 5-Now the law requires the descendants of Levi who become priests to collect a tenth from the people—that is, their brothers—even though their brothers are descended from Abraham.
6-This man, however, did not trace his descent from Levi, yet he collected a tenth from Abraham and blessed him who had the promises.
7-And without doubt the lesser person is blessed by the greater.

8-In the one case, the tenth is collected by men who die; but in the other case, by him who is declared to be living.
9-One might even say that Levi, who collects the tenth, paid the tenth through Abraham,
10-because when Melchizedek met Abraham, Levi was still in the body of his ancestor.Jesus Like Melchizedek
11-If perfection could have been attained through the Levitical priesthood (for on the basis of it the law was given to the people), why was there still need for another priest to come—one in the order of Melchizedek, not in the order of Aaron?
12-For when there is a change of the priesthood, there must also be a change of the law.
13-He of whom these things are said belonged to a different tribe, and no one from that tribe has ever served at the altar.
14-For it is clear that our Lord descended from Judah, and in regard to that tribe Moses said nothing about priests.
15-And what we have said is even more clear if another priest like Melchizedek appears,
16-one who has become a priest not on the basis of a regulation as to his ancestry but on the basis of the power of an indestructible life.
17-For it is declared:
"You are a priest forever,
in the order of Melchizedek."[a]
18-The former regulation is set aside because it was weak and useless
19-(for the law made nothing perfect), and a better hope is introduced, by which we draw near to God.
20-And it was not without an oath! Others became priests without any oath, 21but he became a priest with an oath when God said to him:
"The Lord has sworn
and will not change his mind:
'You are a priest forever.'

"Restitution Where Possible
Matthew 3:8
Produce fruit in keeping with repentance.
Luke 19:8 to 9

9-They will be punished with everlasting destruction and shut out from the presence of the Lord and from the majesty of his power

The Rider on the White Horse
11-I saw heaven standing open and there before me was a white horse, whose rider is called Faithful and True. With justice he judges and makes war.
12-His eyes are like blazing fire, and on his head are many crowns. He has a name written on him that no one knows but he himself.
13-He is dressed in a robe dipped in blood, and his name is the Word of God.
14-The armies of heaven were following him, riding on white horses and dressed in fine linen, white and clean.
15-Out of his mouth comes a sharp sword with which to strike down the nations. "He will rule them with an iron scepter." He treads the winepress of the fury of the wrath of God Almighty.
16-On his robe and on his thigh he has this name written:

KING OF KINGS AND
LORD OF LORDS

17-And I saw an angel standing in the sun, who cried in a loud voice to all the birds flying in midair, "Come, gather together for the great supper of God,
18-so that you may eat the flesh of kings, generals, and mighty men, of horses and their riders, and the flesh of all people, free and slave, small and great."
19-Then I saw the beast and the kings of the earth and their armies gathered together to make war against the rider on the horse and his army.
20-But the beast was captured, and with him the false prophet who had performed the miraculous signs on his behalf. With these signs he had deluded those who had received the mark of the beast and worshiped his image. The two of them were thrown alive into the fiery lake of burning sulfur.
21-The rest of them were killed with the sword that came out of the mouth of the rider on the horse, and all the birds gorged themselves on their flesh.
