Chapter 27: Of the Communion of Saints

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 graces, sufferings, death, resurrection and glory: and being united to one another in love, they have communion in each other's gifts and grace, and are obliged to the performance of such duties, public and private, as do conduce to their mutual good, both in the inward and outward man.

All saints are bound to maintain a 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, though especially to be exercised by them in the relations wherein they stand, whether in families or churches, yet as God offers opportunity, is to be extended to all those who in every place call upon the name of the Lord Jesus.
