For be looking at the calling of you, brethren, - that there were not many wise, according to flesh. Not many powerful, not many high-born:

And, the low-born things of the world, and the things that are despised, hath God chosen, - and the things that are not, - that, the things that are, he might bring to nought;

for as the woman was taken from the man, so man is born of the woman: and all are from God.

Last of all, as to one abnormally born,
He also appeared to me.

Yes, and we are being proved to have borne false testimony about God; for we testified of God that he raised the Christ, whom he did not raise, if, indeed, the dead do not rise!

So also has been written, The first man Adam was born into a living soul; and the last Adam into a spirit making alive.

And, even as we have borne the image of the man of earth, let us also bear the image of the man of heaven.

Be on guard; stand firm in your faith [in God, respecting His precepts and keeping your doctrine sound]. Act like [mature] men and be courageous; be strong.
