The Spirit Of
Adoption, whereby we cry, Abba, Father.
I Corinthians
12:12-26 KJV
12 For as the
body is one, and hath many members, and all the members of that one
body, being many, are one body: so also is Christ.
13 For by one
Spirit are we all baptized into one body, whether we be Jews or
Gentiles, whether we be bond or free; and have been all made to drink
into one Spirit.
14 For the body
is not one member, but many.
15 If the foot
shall say, Because I am not the hand, I am not of the body; is it
therefore not of the body?
16 And if the
ear shall say, Because I am not the eye, I am not of the body; is it
therefore not of the body?
17 If the whole
body were an eye, where were the hearing? If the whole were hearing,
where were the smelling?
18 But now hath
God set the members every one of them in the body, as it hath pleased
Him.
19 And if they
were all one member, where were the body?
20 But now are
they many members, yet but one body.
21 And the eye
cannot say unto the hand, I have no need of thee: nor again the head
to the feet, I have no need of you.
22 Nay, much
more those members of the body, which seem to be more feeble, are
necessary:
23 And those
members of the body, which we think to be less honorable, upon these
we bestow more abundant honor; and our uncomely parts have more
abundant comeliness.
24 For our
comely parts have no need: but God hath tempered the body together,
having given more abundant honor to that part which lacked.
25 That there
should be no schism in the body; but that the members should have the
same care one for another.
26 And whether
one member suffer, all the members suffer with it; or one member be
honored, all the members rejoice with it.
II Corinthians
6:14-18 KJV
16 "...ye
are the temple of The Living God; as God hath said, I will dwell in
them, and walk in them; and I will be their God, and they shall be My
people.
17 Wherefore
come out from among them, and be ye separate, saith The Lord, and
touch not the unclean thing; and I will receive you.
18 And will be
A Father unto you, and ye shall be My sons and daughters, saith The
Lord Almighty.

6 And because
we are His children, God has sent The Spirit Of His Son into our

God has made you His heir.

2:4-6,19-22 NLT
4 But God is so
rich in mercy, and He loved us so much,
5 that even
though we were dead because of our sins, He gave us life when He
raised Christ from the dead. (It is only by God’s grace that you
have been saved!)
6 For He raised
us from the dead along with Christ and seated us with Him in the
heavenly realms because we are united with Christ Jesus.
19 So now you
Gentiles are no longer strangers and foreigners. You are citizens
along with all of God’s holy people. You are members of God’s
family.
20 Together, we
are His house, built on the foundation of the apostles and the
prophets. And the Cornerstone is Christ Jesus Himself.
21 We are
carefully joined together in Him, becoming a holy temple for The
Lord.
22 Through Him
you Gentiles are also being made part of this dwelling where God
lives by His Spirit.
