For Christ sent me not to immerse, but to proclaim the Gospel; not in wisdom of speech, lest the cross of Christ should be made void.

For this cause, I sent to you Timothy, who is my child, beloved and faithful in the Lord, who will bring to your remembrance my ways which are in Christ, even as I teach everywhere in every assembly.

Even things without life giving sound, whether pipe or harp, if they give no distinction in the sounds, how shall it be known what is piped or harped?

For even if a trumpet give an uncertain sound, who will prepare for war?

in a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump; for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed.

And, when I arrive, whomsoever ye may approve, the same will I send with letters to carry your bounty to Jerusalem;

and it may be that I will remain, or even winter with you, that you may send me forward, wherever I may go.

Let no one, therefore, despise him; but send him forward in peace, that he may come to me; for I am expecting him with the brethren.
