Now these things, brethren, I have figuratively applied to myself and Apollos for your benefit, so that in us you may learn not to go beyond what is written, so that no one of you will become arrogant in favor of one against the other.

But I will come to you soon, if the Lord wills, and I will find out, not the words of these arrogant people, but their power.

But I have not used any of these rights. And I am not writing this in the hope that you will do such things for me. I would rather die than have anyone deprive me of my ground for boasting.

Now these things are examples for us, not to desire evil things as they did.

Now these things happened to them as an example, and they were written down for our instruction, upon whom the ends of the ages have come.

But one and the same Spirit works all these things, distributing to each one individually just as he wills.

So now faith, hope, love abide, these three; but the greatest of these is love.
