These things, brethren, I have by a figure transferred to myself and Apollos, for your sakes; that ye may learn in us, not to think of men above what is here written, that ye may not be puffed up for one above another.

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

Do I speak these things as a man? Doth not the law also speak the same?

But I have used none of these things; nor have I written thus, that it might be done so unto me: for it were better for me to die, than that any man should make this my glorying void.

Now these things were for our example, that we might not desire evil things, as they desired.

Now all these things happened to them for examples, and they are written for our admonition, on whom the ends of the ages are come.

But one and the same Spirit worketh all these, dividing to every one severally as he willeth.

And those which we think to be the less honourable parts of the body, these we surround with more abundant honour, and our uncomely parts have more abundant comeliness.

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