For behold your calling, brethren, that not many wise after the flesh, not many mighty, not many noble, are called :

for ye are yet carnal: for whereas there is among you jealousy and strife, are ye not carnal, and do ye not walk after the manner of men?

Yet I would that all men were even as I myself. Howbeit each man hath his own gift from God, one after this manner, and another after that.

But she is happier if she abide as she is, after my judgment: and I think that I also have the Spirit of God.

Do I speak these things after the manner of men? or saith not the law also the same?

but I buffet my body, and bring it into bondage: lest by any means, after that I have preached to others, I myself should be rejected.

In like manner also the cup, after supper, saying, This cup is the new covenant in my blood: this do, as often as ye drink it , in remembrance of me.

Follow after love; yet desire earnestly spiritual gifts , but rather that ye may prophesy.

If after the manner of men I fought with beasts at Ephesus, what doth it profit me? If the dead are not raised, let us eat and drink, for to-morrow we die.
