(Philippians 2:2) make full my joy, that ye be of the same mind, having the same love, being of one accord, of one mind; (2:3) [doing] nothing through faction or through vainglory, but in lowliness of mind each counting other better than himself; (2:4) not looking each of you to his own things, but each of you also to the things of others.
(John 15:12) This is my commandment, that ye love one another, even as I have loved you. (15:13) Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends.
(2 Corinthians 12:9) And he hath said unto me, My grace is sufficient for thee: for [my] power is made perfect in weakness. Most gladly therefore will I rather glory in my weaknesses, that the power of Christ may rest upon me. (12:10) Wherefore I take pleasure in weaknesses, in injuries, in necessities, in persecutions, in distresses, for Christ's sake: for when I am weak, then am I strong.
(1 Corinthians 2:4-14) And my speech and my preaching were not in persuasive words of wisdom, but in demonstration of the Spirit and of power: (2:5) that your faith should not stand in the wisdom of men, but in the power of God.
(2:6) We speak wisdom, however, among them that are fullgrown: yet a wisdom not of this world, nor of the rulers of this world, who are coming to nought: (2:7) but we speak God's wisdom in a mystery, [even] the [wisdom] that hath been hidden, which God foreordained before the worlds unto our glory: (2:8) which none of the rulers of this world hath known: for had they known it, they would not have crucified the Lord of glory: (2:9) but as it is written, Things which eye saw not, and ear heard not, And [which] entered not into the heart of man, Whatsoever things God prepared for them that love him.
2:10) But unto us God revealed [them] through the Spirit: for the Spirit searcheth all things, yea, the deep things of God. (2:11) For who among men knoweth the things of a man, save the spirit of the man, which is in him? even so the things of God none knoweth, save the Spirit of God. (2:12) But we received, not the spirit of the world, but the spirit which is from God; that we might know the things that were freely given to us of God. (2:13) Which things also we speak, not in words which man's wisdom teacheth, but which the Spirit teacheth; combining spiritual things with spiritual [words]. (2:14) Now the natural man receiveth not the things of the Spirit of God: for they are foolishness unto him; and he cannot know them, because they are spiritually judged.

“If we would follow the Lord wholly, we must go right away into the wilderness and leave the carnal world behind us. We must leave its maxims, pleasures, and religion and go far away to the place where the Lord calls His sanctified ones. When the town is on fire, our house cannot be too far from the flames. To all true believers, let the trumpet call be sounded.” ~ Charles Haddon Spurgeon
"Come ye out from among them; be ye separate" (2 Corinthians 6:17).
