Textbook Read and copy the three Bible passages from the text (pages 25 – 26) into your notebooks.

1 Corinthians 6:15 “Do you not know that your bodies are members of Christ?” Not only is our mind part of the Church, our bodies act as a vehicle for God’s works. Imagine if a group of students formed a pyramid. What would happen if one of the base people left the pyramid?

1 Corinthians 6:19 “Do you not know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit within you, which you have from God, and that you are not your own?” The Holy Spirit can enter into the world through our actions.

Ephesians 2:10 “We are God’s work of art, created in Christ Jesus, for the good works which God already designated to make up our way of life” God has a plan for our strengths and weaknesses.
