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

I do not write these things to shame you, but to admonish you as my beloved children.

I am not speaking these things according to human judgment, am I? Or does not the Law also say these things?

But I have used none of these things. And I am not writing these things so that it will be done so in my case; for it would be better for me to die than have any man make my boast an empty one.

Now these things happened as examples for us, so that we would not crave evil things as they also craved.

Now these things happened to them as an example, and they were written 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.

and those members of the body which we deem less honorable, on these we bestow more abundant honor, and our less presentable members become much more presentable,

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