I always thank my God for you because of God’s grace given to you in Christ Jesus,

Now we have not received the spirit of the world, but the Spirit who comes from God, so that we may understand what has been freely given to us by God.

What then is Apollos? And what is Paul? They are servants through whom you believed, and each has the role the Lord has given.

So then neither the one who plants nor the one who waters is anything, but only God who gives the growth.

to one is given a message of wisdom
through the Spirit,
to another, a message of knowledge
by the same Spirit,

And if I donate all my goods to feed the poor,
and if I give my body in order to boast
but do not have love, I gain nothing.

But God gives it a body as He wants, and to each of the seeds its own body.

But thanks be to God, who gives us the victory
through our Lord Jesus Christ!
