Ephesians 4:11-12. And he himself gave some to be apostles, some prophets, some evangelists, and some pastors and teachers for the equipping of the saints for the work of ministry, for the edifying of the body of Christ. So again, we have to be interacting, to edify pastors and teachers to pass things on. John 13:34-35. A new commandment I give to you, that you love one another as I have loved you, that you also love one another. By this all will know that you are my disciples, if you have love for one another.
And of course, we can't show love for one another if we're not being around each other.
