Apostle Paul
4
Ephesians 527

• Christ died for the church to make her holy,
  cleansing her by the washing with water through
  the word, 27and to present her to himself as a
  radiant church, without stain or wrinkle or any
  other blemish, but holy and blameless.

5
1 Peter 29

• You are a chosen people, a royal priesthood, a
  holy nation, a people belonging to God, that you
  may declare the praises of him who called you out
  of darkness into his wonderful light.

2 Corinthians 107-11

• 7Look at what is before your eyes. If anyone is
  confident that he is Christs, let him remind
  himself that just as he is Christs, so also are
  we. 8For even if I boast a little too much of our
  authority, which the Lord gave for building you
  up and not for destroying you, I will not be
  ashamed.

8
2 Corinthians 107-11
9I do not want to appear to be frightening you
with my letters. 10For they say, "His letters are
weighty and strong, but his bodily presence is
weak, and his speech of no account." 11Let such a
person understand that what we say by letter when
absent, we do when present.
9
1 Corinthians 419-21

• But I will come to you soon, if the Lord wills,
  and I will find out not the talk of these
  arrogant people but their power. For the kingdom
  of God does not consist in talk but in power.
  What do you wish? Shall I come to you with a rod,
  or with love in a spirit of gentleness?

10
1 Corinthians 51-2

• 1It is actually reported that there is sexual
  immorality among you, and of a kind that is not
  tolerated even among pagans, for a man has his
  fathers wife. 2And you are arrogant! Ought you
  not rather to mourn? Let him who has done this be
  removed from among you.

11
Galatians 61

• Brothers, if someone is caught in a sin, you who
  are spiritual should restore him gently.

12
1 Corinthians 53

• 3For though absent in body, I am present in
  spirit and as if present, I have already
  pronounced judgment on the one who did such a
  thing.

13
1 Corinthians 54-5

• 4When you are assembled in the name of the Lord
  Jesus and my spirit is present, with the power of
  our Lord Jesus, 5you are to deliver this man to
  Satan for the destruction of the flesh, so that
  his spirit may be saved in the day of the Lord.

14
1 Corinthians 56

• 6 Your boasting is not good. Do you not know that
  a little leaven leavens the whole lump?

15
Jesus

• 6"Be careful, be on your guard against the yeast
  of the Pharisees and Sadducees.
• 12Then they understood that he was not telling
  them to guard against the yeast used in bread,
  but against the teaching of the Pharisees and
  Sadducees.

16
2 Corinthians 1311

• Aim for perfection, listen to my appeal, be of
  one mind, live in peace. And the God of love and
  peace will be with you.

17
1 Corinthians 57

• 7Cleanse out the old leaven that you may be a new
  lump, as you really are unleavened.
• Christ, our Passover lamb, has been sacrificed.

18
1 Corinthians 58

• 8Let us therefore celebrate the festival, not
  with the old leaven, the leaven of malice and
  evil, but with the unleavened bread of sincerity
  and truth.

•  9I wrote to you in my letter not to associate
  with sexually immoral people 10 not at all

  then you would need to go out of the world.

2 Corinthians 6

• Or what fellowship can light have with darkness?
  15What harmony is there between Christ and
  Belial? What does a believer have in common with
  an unbeliever? 16What agreement is there between
  the temple of God and idols?

2 Corinthians 6

• For we are the temple of the living God. As God
  has said "I will live with them and walk among
  them, and I will be their God, and they will be
  my people." 17"Therefore come out from them
        and be separate, says the Lord.

  judge?
