Chapter 27: Of the Communion of Saints

1. All saints that are united to Jesus Christ, their
   head, by his Spirit, and faith, although they are not
   made thereby one person with him, have fellowship in
   his graces, sufferings, death, resurrection, and
   glory; and, being united to one another in love, they
   have communion in each others gifts and graces, and
   are obliged to the performance of such duties, public
   and private, in an orderly way, as do conduce to
   their mutual good, both in the inward and outward
   man.
   (1 John 1:3; John 1:16; Phil. 3:10; Romans
   6:5, 6; Eph. 4:15, 16; 1 Cor. 12:7; 1
   Cor. 3:21-23; 1 Thess. 5:11, 14; Romans
   1:12; 1 John 3:17, 18; Gal. 6:10)

2. Saints by profession are bound to maintain an
   holy fellowship and communion in the worship of God,
   and in performing such other spiritual services as
   tend to their mutual edification; as also in
   relieving each other in outward things according to
   their several abilities, and necessities; which
   communion, according to the rule of the gospel,
   though especially to be exercised by them, in the
   relation wherein they stand, whether in families, or
   churches, yet, as God offereth opportunity, is to be
   extended to all the household of faith, even all
   those who in every place call upon the name of the
   Lord Jesus; nevertheless their communion one with
   another as saints, doth not take away or infringe the
   title or propriety which each man hath in his goods
   and possessions.
   (Heb. 10:24, 25; Heb. 3:12, 13; Acts 11:29,
   30; Eph. 6:4; 1 Cor. 12:14-27; Acts 5:4;
   Eph. 4:28)
