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

For Christ did not send me to baptize, but to preach the gospel, not in cleverness of speech, so that the cross of Christ would not be made void.

so that your faith would not rest on the wisdom of men, but on the power of God.

the wisdom which none of the rulers of this age has understood; for if they had understood it they would not have crucified the Lord of glory;

For if you were to have countless tutors in Christ, yet you would not have many fathers, for in Christ Jesus I became your father through the gospel.

You have become arrogant and have not mourned instead, so that the one who had done this deed would be removed from your midst.

I did not at all mean with the immoral people of this world, or with the covetous and swindlers, or with idolaters, for then you would have to go out of the world.

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.

But if we judged ourselves rightly, we would not be judged.

If the whole body were an eye, where would the hearing be? If the whole were hearing, where would the sense of smell be?

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

Now I wish that you all spoke in tongues, but even more that you would prophesy; and greater is one who prophesies than one who speaks in tongues, unless he interprets, so that the church may receive edifying.
