For I myself, though absent in body, have been present with you in spirit, and in the name of our Lord Jesus I have already passed judgment, just as if I had been present, upon the man who has acted in this way.

I should wish every one to be just what I am myself. But every one has his own gift from God-one in one way, and one in another.

For just as woman came from man, so man comes by means of woman; and all things come from God.

You know that there was a time when you were Gentiles, going astray after idols that could not speak, just as you happened to be led.

For just as the human body is one whole, and yet has many parts, and all its parts, many though they are, form but one body, so it is with the Christ;

But in fact God has placed each individual part just where he thought fit in the body.
