This world's wisdom is "foolishness" in God's sight; for it is written, "He snares the wise with their own cunning."

Do you not know that God's people will sit in judgement upon the world? And if you are the court before which the world is to be judged, are you unfit to deal with these petty matters?

In the same way, when the meal was over, He also took the cup. "This cup," He said, "is the new Covenant of which my blood is the pledge. Do this, every time that you drink it, in memory of me."

Foolish man! the seed you yourself sow has no life given to it unless it first dies;

and to each kind of seed a body of its own.

and I shall make some stay with you perhaps, or even spend the winter with you, in order that you may help me forward, whichever way I travel.
