Christ has been divided up! But was it Paul who was crucified for you? Or were you baptized in the name of Paul?

so that no one could say that you were baptized in my name.

For consider, brothers, what happened when God called you. Not many of you were what men call wise, not many of you were influential, not many were of high birth.

and my teaching and message were not put in plausible, philosophical language, but they were attended with convincing spiritual power,

I fed you with milk, not solid food, for you were not ready for it. Why, you are not ready for it now,

If you were a slave when you were called, never mind. Even if you can gain your freedom, make the most of your present condition instead.

and those who mourn as though they did not mourn, and those who are glad as though they were not glad, and those who buy anything as though they did not own it,

and those who mix in the world, as though they were not absorbed in it. For the present shape of the world is passing away.

For I would not have you forget, brothers, that though our forefathers were all protected by the cloud, and all passed safely through the sea,

and in the cloud and the sea all, as it were, accepted baptism as followers of Moses,

and drank the same supernatural drink??for they used to drink from a supernatural rock which attended them, and the rock was really Christ??5 still most of them disappointed God, for they were struck down in the desert.

Let us not try the Lord's patience too far, as some of them did, for they were killed for it by the snakes.

You must not grumble, as some of them did, for they were destroyed for it by the destroying angel.

These things happened to them as a warning to others, but they were written down to instruct us, in whose days the ages have reached their climax.

You know that when you were heathen you would stray off, as impulse directed, to idols that could not speak.

If all the body were eye, how would we hear? If it were all ear, how could we have a sense of smell?

If they were all one part, where would the body be?

and finally he was seen by me also, as though I were born at the wrong time.
