For you see your calling, brothers, that not many wise men according to the flesh are called, not many mighty, not many noble.

For though you have ten thousand instructors in Christ, yet you do not have many fathers; for I have begotten you in Christ Jesus through the gospel.

For though there are those who are called gods, whether in Heaven or in earth (as there are many gods and many lords),

But with many of them God was not well pleased, for they were scattered in the wilderness.

For we, the many, are one bread and one body; for we are all partakers of that one bread.

even as I please all men in all things, not seeking my own profit, but the profit of the many, so that they may be saved.

For this cause many among you are weak and sickly, and many sleep.

For as the body is one and has many members, and all the members of that one body, being many, are one body; so also is Christ.

For the body is not one member, but many.

But now indeed many are the members, yet only one body.

So it may be many kinds of sounds are in the world, and not one is without a distinct sound.

For a great and effective door opened to me, and many are opposing.
