that no man might say, I baptised into my own name.

but the foolish things of this world hath God elected, that he might confound the wise; and the feeble things of the world hath God elected, that he might confound the mighty;

that your faith might not stand on the wisdom of men, but on the power of God.

Now we have not received the spirit of the world, but the spirit which is from God; that we might know the things that are freely given to us of God.

But these things, brethren, I have figuratively applied to myself, and Apollos for your sake; that in us ye might learn not to be attached, beyond what is written, lest one being for one [minister], ye be puffed up [with prejudice] against another.

Now ye are full, now ye have grown rich, ye have reigned without us: and I wish indeed that you may reign, that we also might reign together with you.

We are counted fools for Christ's sake, but ye are wise in Christ; we are weak, but ye are mighty; ye are honourable persons, but we despised.

if others partake of this power over you, ought not we much more? But we have not used this power, and we suffer all things, that we might not put any obstruction in the way of the gospel of Christ.

For though I be free from all men, I have made myself the servant of all, that I might gain the more.

And I became to the Jews as a Jew, that I might gain the Jews; to those under the law, as under the law, that I might gain those who are under the law;

to those who are without law, as without law (not as being without law to God, but under the law to Christ), that I might gain those who were without law.

I became to the weak as weak, that I might gain the weak; I became all things to all men, that by every means I might save some.

Now these things were examples for us, that we might not be coveters of evil things, as they also coveted.

But being judged, we are corrected by the Lord, that we might not be condemned with the world.

And there are diversities of mighty operations, but it is the same God who worketh all in all.

that there might be no schism in the body; but that the members should have the same care one for another.
