How the Church can be in Unity

Jhn 17:11
And now I am no more in the world, but these are in the world, and I come to thee. Holy Father, keep through thine own name those whom thou hast given me, that they may be one, as we [are].

Jhn 17:12
While I was with them in the world, I kept them in thy name: those that thou gavest me I have kept, and none of them is lost, but the son of perdition; that the scripture might be fulfilled.

Jhn 17:13
And now come I to thee; and these things I speak in the world, that they might have my joy fulfilled in themselves.

Jhn 17:14
I have given them thy word; and the world hath hated them, because they are not of the world, even as I am not of the world.

Jhn 17:15
I pray not that thou shouldest take them out of the world, but that thou shouldest keep them from the evil.

Jhn 17:16
They are not of the world, even as I am not of the world.

Jhn 17:17
Sanctify them through thy truth: thy word is truth.

Jhn 17:18
As thou hast sent me into the world, even so have I also sent them into the world.

Jhn 17:19
And for their sakes I sanctify myself, that they also might be sanctified through the truth.

Jhn 17:20
Neither pray I for these alone, but for them also which shall believe on me through their word;

Jhn 17:21
That they all may be one; as thou, Father, [art] in me, and I in thee, that they also may be one in us: that the world may believe that thou hast sent me.

Jhn 17:22
And the glory which thou gavest me I have given them; that they may be one, even as we are one:

Jhn 17:23
I in them, and thou in me, that they may be made perfect in one; and that the world may know that thou hast sent me, and hast loved them, as thou hast loved me

Psa 133:1
[[A Song of degrees of David.]] Behold, how good and how pleasant [it is] for brethren to dwell together in unity!

Psa 133:2
[It is] like the precious ointment upon the head, that ran down upon the beard, [even] Aaron's beard: that went down to the skirts of his garments;

Psa 133:3
As the dew of Hermon, [and as the dew] that descended upon the mountains of Zion: for there the LORD commanded the blessing, [even] life for evermore.

But speaking the truth in love, may grow up into him in all things, which is the head, [even] Christ:

Eph 4:16
From whom the whole body fitly joined together and compacted by that which every joint supplieth, according to the effectual working in the measure of every part, maketh increase of the body unto the edifying of itself in love.
