through which also ye are being saved, in what words I proclaimed good news to you, if ye hold fast, except ye did believe in vain,

but in an assembly I wish to speak five words through my understanding, that others also I may instruct, rather than myriads of words in an unknown tongue.

and again, 'The Lord doth know the reasonings of the wise, that they are vain.'

and by the grace of God I am what I am, and His grace that is towards me came not in vain, but more abundantly than they all did I labour, yet not I, but the grace of God that is with me;

and if Christ hath not risen, vain is your faith, ye are yet in your sins;

so that, my brethren beloved, become ye stedfast, unmovable, abounding in the work of the Lord at all times, knowing that your labour is not vain in the Lord.
