  2. 12 For as the body is one, and hath many members, and all the members of that one body, being many, are one body: so also is Christ. 13 For by one Spirit are we all baptized into one body, whether we be Jews or Gentiles, whether we be bond or free; and have been all made to drink into one Spirit. 14 For the body is not one member, but many.

They are in conflict with each other, so that you do not do what you want.” (Gal 5:17) And Jesus’s...

    So what we find, then, is that the body is the place of our direct power. It is the little ​“power pack” that God has assigned to us as the field of our freedom and development.
