Unity Through Submitting To Helpers

1 Corinthians 16:16 - A Neville Goddard interpretation

Read 1 Corinthians 16 in context

Scripture Focus

16That ye submit yourselves unto such, and to every one that helpeth with us, and laboureth.
1 Corinthians 16:16

Biblical Context

The verse urges believers to submit to those who assist and labor with them, highlighting the value of cooperative, humble service within a community.

Neville's Inner Vision

Submission begins as an inward alignment of consciousness. 'Such' refers to the assisting workers, and 'laboreth' to their diligent acts. To submit is to acknowledge that your life and work are already implicated in a single field of awareness. When you dwell in the I AM—the universal, unconditioned awareness—you recognize that the helper and the helper’s labor are not separate from you but expressions of the one mind moving through all. The sense of separateness dissolves as you revise your state: I and my workers are one in the activity of thinking and doing. The laborer becomes a channel for your inner activity to materialize, and submission thus becomes a deliberate harmony rather than a submission to authority. In this light, cooperation, timely assistance, and unity arise as natural reflections of your inner assumption that you are joined with all who labor with you, under the same creative power that animates them and you.

Practice This Now

Close your eyes and assume the feeling: I am one with every helper in my field; I submit to their labor as my own. Then revise any sense of separation by affirming, We labor together under the I AM that animates us all.
