For consider, brethren, God's call to you. Not many who are wise with merely human wisdom, not many of position and influence, not many of noble birth have been called.

To this very moment we endure both hunger and thirst, with scanty clothing and many a blow.

For if so-called gods do exist, either in Heaven or on earth--and in fact there are many such gods and many such lords--

Though free from all human control, I have made myself the slave of all in the hope of winning as many converts as possible.

Since there is one loaf, we who are many are one body; we, all of us, share in that one loaf.

That is the way that I also seek in everything the approval of all men, not aiming at my own profit, but at that of the many, in the hope that they may be saved.

That is why many among you are sickly and out of health, and why not a few die.

For just as the human body is one and yet has many parts, and all its parts, many as they are, constitute but one body, so it is with the Church of Christ.

For the human body does not consist of one part, but of many.

But, as a matter of fact, there are many parts and but one body.

for a wide door stands open before me which demands great efforts, and we have many opponents.
