Grace be unto you, and peace, from God our Father, and from the Lord Jesus Christ.

I thank my God always on your behalf, for the grace of God which is given you by Jesus Christ;

so that you are not lacking in any spiritual gift [which comes from the Holy Spirit], as you eagerly wait [with confident trust] for the revelation of our Lord Jesus Christ [when He returns].

Is there a division in Christ? was Paul nailed to the cross for you? or were you given baptism in the name of Paul?

For Christ sent me not to baptize, but to preach the gospel: not with wisdom of words, lest the cross of Christ should be made of none effect.

For the preaching of the cross is to them that perish foolishness; but unto us which are saved it is the power of God.

But we give the good news of Christ on the cross, a hard thing to the Jews, and a foolish thing to the Gentiles;

For I had made the decision to have knowledge of nothing among you but only of Jesus Christ on the cross.

Of which not one of the rulers of this world had knowledge: for if they had, they would not have put the Lord of glory on the cross:

But we did not receive the spirit of the world, but the Spirit which is from God, that we might know the things that have been given to us by the grace of God;

What is Paul? What thing is Apollos? Only ministers are they, by whom ye believed: even as the Lord gave every man grace.

According to the grace of God which is given unto me, as a wise masterbuilder, I have laid the foundation, and another buildeth thereon. But let every man take heed how he buildeth thereupon.

Now if any one build upon this foundation, gold, silver, precious stones, wood, grass, straw,

But [as for me personally] it matters very little to me that I may be judged by you or any human court [on this point]; in fact, I do not even judge myself.

for, although I am not conscious of having anything against me, that does not clear me. It is the Lord who cross-questions me on the matter.

This is my defense to those who would put me on trial and interrogate me [concerning my authority as an apostle]:

For if I by grace be a partaker, why am I evil spoken of for that for which I give thanks?

Now there are [distinctive] varieties of spiritual gifts [special abilities given by the grace and extraordinary power of the Holy Spirit operating in believers], but it is the same Spirit [who grants them and empowers believers].

and those which we deem less honorable we clothe with more abundant honor; and so our ungraceful parts come to have a more abundant grace, while our graceful parts have everything they need.

But by the grace of God I am what I am: and his grace which was bestowed upon me was not in vain; but I laboured more abundantly than they all: yet not I, but the grace of God which was with me.

And grace to God, giving us the victory by our Lord Jesus Christ.

And when I be present, whom ye approve by letters, these will I send to carry your grace to Jerusalem.

The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you.

The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you.
