9Therefore, it is better for two to be together, than for one to be alone. For they have the advantage of their companionship. 10If one falls, he shall be supported by the other. Woe to one who is alone. For when he falls, he has no one to lift him up. 11And if two are sleeping, they warm one another.

16For in him, the whole body is joined closely together, by every underlying joint, through the function allotted to each part, bringing improvement to the body, toward its edification in charity.
18how I struck you with a burning wind, and a mildew, and a hailstorm, all the works of your hand, yet there was no one among you who returned to me, says the Lord.
2with all humility and meekness, with patience, supporting one another in charity. 3Be anxious to preserve the unity of the Spirit within the bonds of peace.
