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.

I write not these things to shame you: but as my beloved sons, I warn you.

Say I these things after the manner of men? Or sayeth not the law the same also?

But I have used none of these things. Neither wrote I these things that it should be so done unto me. For it were better for me to die than any man should take this rejoicing from me.

These are examples to us that we should not lust after evil things, as they lusted.

All these things happened upon them for examples, and were written to put us in remembrance, whom the ends of the world are come upon.

Nay, but I say, that these things which the gentiles offer, they offer to devils, and not to God. And I would not that ye should have fellowship with the devils.

and these all worketh even the self same spirit, dividing to every man several gifts even as he will.

Now abideth faith, hope, and love, even these three: but the chief of these is love.
