Exo. 28:15-17, 21 (15, 17a, 21)
15And you shall make a breastplate of judgment, the work of a skillful workman; like the work of the ephod you shall make it; of gold, of blue and purple and scarlet strands, and of fine twined linen you shall make it.
16It shall be square and doubled; a span its length and a span its width.
17And you shall enclose in it enclosures of stones, four rows of stones: the first row shall be a row of a sardius, a topaz, and an emerald;
21And the stones shall be according to the names of the sons of Israel, twelve, according to their names; they shall be like the engravings of a signet, each according to its name, for the twelve tribes.
1 Cor. 12:12-13, 18, 20, 25
12For even as the body is one and has many members, yet all the members of the body, being many, are one body, so also is the Christ.
13For also in one Spirit we were all baptized into one Body, whether Jews or Greeks, whether slaves or free, and were all given to drink one Spirit.
18But now God has placed the members, each one of them, in the body, even as He willed.
20But now the members are many, but the body one.
25That there would be no division in the body, butthatthe members would have the same care for one another.
Rom. 8:14
14For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, these are sons of God.

18Because we do not regard the things which are seen but the things which are not seen; for the things which are seen are temporary, but the things which are not seen are eternal.

Phil. 3:7-16
7But what things were gains to me, these I have counted as loss on account of Christ.
8But moreover I also count all things to be loss on account of the excellency of the knowledge of Christ Jesus my Lord, on account of whom I have suffered the loss of all things and countthem as refuse that I may gain Christ
9And be found in Him, not having my own righteousness which is out of the law, but that which is through faith in Christ, the righteousness which is out of God and based on faith,
10To know Him and the power of His resurrection and the fellowship of His sufferings, being conformed to His death,
11If perhaps I may attain to the out-resurrection from the dead.
12Not that I have already obtained or am already perfected, but I pursue, if even I may lay hold of that for which I also have been laid hold of by Christ Jesus.
13Brothers, I do not account of myself to have laid hold; but one thing I do: Forgetting the things which are behind and stretching forward to the things which are before,
14I pursue toward the goal for the prize to which God in Christ Jesus has calledmeupward.
15Let us therefore, as many as are full-grown, have this mind; and if in anything you are otherwise minded, this also God will reveal to you.
16Nevertheless whereunto we have attained, by the same rule let us walk.
