in him you have received a wealth of all blessing, full power to speak of your faith and full insight into its meaning,

so that your faith might not rest on any human 'wisdom' but on the power of God.

Who is Apollos? Who is Paul? They are simply used by God to give you faith, each as the Lord assigns his task.

one man in the same Spirit has the gift of faith, another in the one Spirit has gifts of healing;

I may prophesy, fathom all mysteries and secret lore, I may have such absolute faith that I can move hills from their place, but if I have no love, I count for nothing;

Thus 'faith and hope and love last on, these three,' but the greatest of all is love.

the gospel by which you are saved ??provided you adhere to my statement of it ??unless indeed your faith was all haphazard.

and if Christ did not rise, then our preaching has gone for nothing, and your faith has gone for nothing too.

and if Christ did not rise, your faith is futile, you are still in your sins.

Watch, stand firm in the faith, play the man, be strong!
