For consider, brothers, the way God called you; that not many of you, in accordance with human standards, were wise, not many influential, not many of high birth.

For though you have ten thousand teachers in the Christian life, you certainly could not have many fathers. For it was I myself who became your father through your union with Christ Jesus, which resulted from my telling you the good news.

Yes, indeed, though I am free from any human power, I have made myself a slave to everybody, to win as many as possible.

Because there is only one loaf, so we, though many, are only one body, for we all partake of one loaf.

just as I myself am in the habit of pleasing everybody in everything, not aiming at my own welfare but at that of as many people as possible, in order that they may be saved.

This is why many of you are sick and feeble, and a considerable number are falling asleep.

For just as the human body is one and yet has many parts, and all the parts of the body, many as they are, constitute but one body, so it is with Christ.

For the body does not consist of one part but of many.

But as it now is, there are many parts, but one body.

There are, supposedly, ever so many languages in the world, and not one is without its own meaning.

For I have an opportunity here that is great and calls for work, and it has many opponents.
