So, brothers and sisters, I could not speak to you as spiritual people, but instead as people of the flesh, as infants in Christ.

If anyone builds on the foundation with gold, silver, precious stones, wood, hay, or straw,

Already you are satisfied! Already you are rich! You have become kings without us! I wish you had become kings so that we could reign with you!

For I do not want you to be unaware, brothers and sisters, that our fathers were all under the cloud and all passed through the sea,

and all were baptized into Moses in the cloud and in the sea,

It is not glad about injustice, but rejoices in the truth.

I was glad about the arrival of Stephanus, Fortunatus, and Achaicus because they have supplied the fellowship with you that I lacked.
