The unity of the church is one of the most prevalent subjects in the book. It requires effort. We should expect division. An improper balance among covenantal institutions The Church, family, state, and individual are entities that are recognized and regulated by God's covenants. Many today in a zeal to emphasize one's need to have a personal relationship with Christ stress the individual at the expense of the others.
Some parents expect the state or the church to educate and raise their children.
And one could continue to enumerate any number of other examples where one institution infringes on the responsibilities and privileges of the others. Paul recognizes the individual. Any good lie takes a portion of the truth and twists and distorts it. Any one of these proper institutions can and has been improperly exalted or denigrated. Paul sought to recognize and educate God's people to function appropriately in all of these spheres.
