And thus there is no gift in which you are deficient, while waiting for the Appearing of our Lord Jesus Christ.

No, it is a divine philosophy that we teach, one concerned with the hidden purpose of God-that long-hidden philosophy which God, before time began, destined for our glory.

In fulfillment of the charge which God had entrusted to me, I laid the foundation like a skillful master-builder; but another man is now building upon it. Let every one take care how he builds;

If any man's work, which he has built upon that foundation, still remains, he will gain a reward.

This is my reason for sending Timothy to you. He is my own dear faithful child in the Master's service, and he will remind you of my methods of teaching the Faith of Christ Jesus-methods which I follow everywhere in every Church.

Again, do not you know that your body is a shrine of the Holy Spirit that is within you-the Spirit which you have from God?
