<p>27:31- see on Acts 15:1.</p><p><em>Paul said to the centurion and to the soldiers: Except these stay in the ship, you cannot be saved</em>-&nbsp; This sounds like the Lord's words of Jn. 15:6: &quot;If a man abide not in me, he is cast forth...&quot; . But there is a twist here in :31; as if our all remaining together in the Christ-ship is somehow related to our collective salvation. We see here the evil and collective damage of division, of trying to go our separate ways to salvation, thinking only of ourselves.</p>
