Brethren, look on your calling how that not many wise men after the flesh, not many mighty, not many of high degree are called:

But God hath chosen the foolish things of the world, to confound the wise. And God hath chosen the weak things of the world, to confound things which are mighty.

These things, brethren, I have described in mine own person, and Apollos, for your sakes - that ye might learn by us that no man count of himself beyond that which is above written: that one swell not against another for any man's cause.

Now ye are full: now ye are made rich: ye reign as kings without us: and I would to God ye did reign, that we might reign with you.

And ye swell and have not rather sorrowed, that he which hath done this deed might be put from among you.

For though I be free from all men, yet have I made myself servant unto all men, that I might win the more.

And this I do for the Gospel's sake, that I might have my part thereof.

Even as I please all men in all things not seeking mine own profit, but the profit of many, that they might be saved.

For there must be sects among you, that they which among you are perfect might be known.
