AND I, when I came to you, brethren, came not with superior excellence of discourse or wisdom, preaching unto you the gospel of God.

whether Paul, or Apollos, or Cephas, or the world, or life, or death, or things present, or things to come; all things are your's;

Wherefore judge nothing before the time until the Lord come, who also will bring to light the hidden things of darkness, and will manifest the counsels of men's hearts; and then shall praise be given to each from God.

Now some are puffed up, as though I would not really come to you.

Went the word of God from you? or came it unto you only?

For since by man came death, by man came also the resurrection of the dead.

But will any man say, How are the dead raised up? and with what body do they come?

So when that which is corruptible shall have put on incorruption, and that which is mortal shall have put on immortality, then shall come to pass the saying which is written, Death is swallowed up in victory.
