Behold, how good and pleasant it
is when brothers dwell in unity!
It is like the precious oil on the
head, running down on the beard,
on the beard of Aaron, running
down on the collar of his robes!
It is like the dew of Hermon,
which falls on the mountains of
Zion! For there the Lord has
commanded the blessing, life
forevermore.
(Psalm 133:1-3)
ESV
Do two walk together, unless they
have agreed to meet?
(Amos 3:3)
ESV
That they may all be one, just as
you, Father, are in me, and I in
you, that they also may be in us,
so that the world may believe that
you have sent me.
(John 17:21)
ESV
But Peter and the apostles
answered, “We must obey God rather
than men.
(Acts 5:29)
ESV
I appeal to you, brothers, to
watch out for those who cause
divisions and create obstacles
contrary to the doctrine that you
have been taught; avoid them.
(Romans 16:17)
ESV
I appeal to you, brothers, by the
name of our Lord Jesus Christ,
that all of you agree, and that
there be no divisions among you,
but that you be united in the same
mind and the same judgment. For it
has been reported to me by Chloe's
people that there is quarreling
among you, my brothers. What I
mean is that each one of you says,
“I follow Paul,” or “I follow
Apollos,” or “I follow Cephas,” or
“I follow Christ.” Is Christ
divided? Was Paul crucified for
you? Or were you baptized in the
name of Paul?
(1 Corinthians 1:10-13)
ESV
Do not be unequally yoked with
unbelievers. For what partnership
has righteousness with
lawlessness? Or what fellowship
has light with darkness? What
accord has Christ with Belial? Or
what portion does a believer share
with an unbeliever? What agreement
has the temple of God with idols?
For we are the temple of the
living God; as God said, “I will
make my dwelling among them and
walk among them, and I will be
their God, and they shall be my
people. Therefore go out from
their midst, and be separate from
them, says the Lord, and touch no
unclean thing; then I will welcome
you, and I will be a father to
you, and you shall be sons and
daughters to me, says the Lord
Almighty.
(2 Corinthians 6:14-18)
ESV
Eager to maintain the unity of the
Spirit in the bond of peace. There
is one body and one Spirit—just as
you were called to the one hope
that belongs to your call— one
Lord, one faith, one baptism, one
God and Father of all, who is over
all and through all and in all.
(Ephesians 4:3-6)
ESV
So that we may no longer be
children, tossed to and fro by the
waves and carried about by every
wind of doctrine, by human
cunning, by craftiness in
deceitful schemes.
(Ephesians 4:14)
ESV
Take no part in the unfruitful
works of darkness, but instead
expose them.
(Ephesians 5:11)
ESV
If anyone teaches a different
doctrine and does not agree with
the sound words of our Lord Jesus
Christ and the teaching that
accords with godliness, he is
puffed up with conceit and
understands nothing. He has an
unhealthy craving for controversy
and for quarrels about words,
which produce envy, dissension,
slander, evil suspicions, and
constant friction among people who
are depraved in mind and deprived
of the truth, imagining that
godliness is a means of gain.
(1 Timothy 6:3-5)
ESV
As for a person who stirs up
division, after warning him once
and then twice, have nothing more
to do with him,
(Titus 3:10)
ESV
Obey your leaders and submit to
them, for they are keeping watch
over your souls, as those who will
have to give an account. Let them
do this with joy and not with
groaning, for that would be of no
advantage to you.
(Hebrews 13:17)
ESV
For many deceivers have gone out
into the world, those who do not
confess the coming of Jesus Christ
in the flesh. Such a one is the
deceiver and the antichrist. Watch
yourselves, so that you may not
lose what we have worked for, but
may win a full reward. Everyone
who goes on ahead and does not
abide in the teaching of Christ,
does not have God. Whoever abides
in the teaching has both the
Father and the Son. If anyone
comes to you and does not bring
this teaching, do not receive him
into your house or give him any
greeting, for whoever greets him
takes part in his wicked works.
(2 John 1:7-11)
