is above all, and through all, and in you all. But unto
every one of us is given grace according to the measure of the gift of
Christ. That we may grow up into him in all things, which is the head,
even Christ: from whom the whole body fitly joined together and
compacted by that which every joint supplieth'--ministers and people
in the use of all appointed means--'according to the effectual working
in the measure of every part, maketh increase of the body to the
edifying of itself in love.' Eph. 4:1, etc.

"'I am the vine, ye are the branches; he that abideth in me and I
in him, the same bringeth forth much fruit; for without me ye can do
nothing.' John 15:5, 7.

"'And Moses said, The Lord heareth your murmurings that ye murmur
against him; and what are we? your murmurings are not against us, but
against the Lord. And Moses said, This is the bread which the Lord
hath given you to eat. And the children of Israel did eat manna until
they came unto the borders of the land of Canaan.' Exodus 16.

"'I am the living bread which came down from heaven: if any man
eat of this bread, he shall live for ever: and the bread that I will
give is my flesh, which I will give for the life of the world. He that
eateth my flesh, and drinketh my blood, dwelleth in me, and I in him.
The words that I speak unto you, they are spirit, and they are life.'
John 6:51, etc.

"'For of him are ye in Christ Jesus, who of God is made unto us
wisdom, and righteousness, and sanctification, and redemption.' 1 Cor.
1:30.

"'Seeing then that we have a great High-priest, who is passed
into the heavens, Jesus the Son of God, let us hold fast our
profession. For we have not a High-priest who cannot be touched with
the feeling of our infirmities; but was in all points tempted like as
we are, yet without sin. Let us therefore come boldly unto the throne
of grace, that we may obtain mercy, and find grace to help in time of
need.' Heb. 4:14. 'For this is the covenant that I will make with the
house of Israel after those days, saith the Lord: I will put my laws
into their mind, and write them in their hearts; and I will be to them
a God, and they shall be to me a people: and they shall not teach
every man his neighbor, and every man his brother, saying, Know the
Lord; for all shall know me, from the least to the greatest. For I
will be merciful to their unrighteousness, and their sins and their
iniquities will I remember no more. In
