2. Colossians 3:1 (ESV)
3 If then you have been raised with Christ, seek the things that are above, where Christ is, seated at the right hand of God. 2 Set your minds on things that are above, not on things that are on earth. 3 For you have died, and your life is hidden with Christ in God. 4 When Christ who is your life appears, then you also will appear with him in glory… 9 Do not lie to one another, seeing that you have put off the old self with its practices

3. Colossians 3:1 (ESV)
10 and have put on the new self, which is being renewed in knowledge after the image of its creator. 11 Here there is not Greek and Jew, circumcised and uncircumcised, barbarian, Scythian, slave, free; but Christ is all, and in all.

5. “Every act of self-control of the Christian is also an act of service to the fellowship… On the other hand, there is no sin in thought, word, or deed, no matter how personal or secret, that does not inflict injury upon the whole fellowship. An element of sickness gets into the body; perhaps nobody knows where it comes from or in what member it has lodged, but the body is infected.” -Dietrich Bonhoeffer

7. Ephesians 6:18 (ESV)
18 …[pray] at all times in the Spirit, with all prayer and supplication. To that end, keep alert with all perseverance, making supplication for all the saints…

9. “A Christian fellowship lives and exists by the intercession of its members one for another, or it collapses. I can no longer condemn or hate a brother for whom I pray, no matter how much trouble he causes me.” -Dietrich Bonhoeffer
