You have rent the Christ in pieces! Was it Paul who was crucified for you? or were you baptized into the Faith of Paul?

So that no one can say that you were baptized into my Faith.

So that your faith should be based, not on the philosophy of man, but on the power of God.

Yet there is a philosophy that we teach to those whose faith is matured, but it is not the philosophy of to-day, nor that of the leaders of to-day-men whose downfall is at hand.

But I, Brothers, could not speak to you as men with spiritual insight, but only as worldly-minded-mere infants in the Faith of Christ.

What, I ask, is Apollos? or what is Paul? Servants through whom you were led to accept the Faith; and that only as the Lord helped each of you.

Though you may have thousands of instructors in the Faith of Christ, yet you have not many fathers. It was I who, through union with Christ Jesus, became your father by means of the Good News.

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.

To another faith by the same Spirit; to another power to cure diseases by the one Spirit; to another supernatural powers;

Even though I have the gift of preaching, and fathom all hidden truths and all the depths of knowledge; even though I have such faith as might move mountains, yet have not Love, I am nothing!

Meanwhile Faith, Hope, and Love endure-these three, but the greatest of these is Love.

But he who preaches is speaking to his fellow men words that will build up faith, and give them comfort and encouragement.

He who, when speaking, uses the gift of 'tongues' builds up his own faith, while he who preaches builds up the faith of the Church.

Now I want you all to speak in 'tongues,' but much more I wish that you should preach. A Preacher is of more account than he who speaks in 'tongues,' unless he interprets his words, so that the faith of the Church may be built up.

And so with you; since your are striving for spiritual gifts, be eager to excel in such as will build up the faith of the Church.

What do I suggest, then, Brothers? Whenever you meet for worship, each of you comes, either with a hymn, or a lesson, or a revelation, or the gift of 'tongues,' or the interpretation of them; let everything be directed to the building up of faith.

And, if Christ has not been raised, then our proclamation is without meaning, and our faith without meaning also!

And, if Christ has not been raised, your faith is folly-your sins are on you still!

Be watchful; stand firm in your faith; show yourselves men; be strong.
