So when I came to you, brothers, I did not come and tell you the secret purpose of God in superior, philosophical language,

For my part, I came among you in weakness and with a great deal of fear and trembling,

Therefore, I must tell you that no one who is speaking under the influence of the Spirit of God ever says, "Curse Jesus!" and no one can say, "Jesus is Lord!" without being under the influence of the holy Spirit.

Even inanimate things, like the flute or the harp, may produce sound, but if there is no difference in the notes, how can you tell what is being played?

But I can tell you this, brothers: flesh and blood cannot share in the Kingdom of God, and decay will not share in what is imperishable.

I will tell you a secret. We shall not all fall asleep, but we shall all be changed,
