that by Him you were enriched in everything—in all speech and all knowledge.

God is faithful; you were called by Him into fellowship with His Son, Jesus Christ our Lord.

Is Christ divided? Was it Paul who was crucified for you? Or were you baptized in Paul’s name?

My speech and my proclamation were not with persuasive words of wisdom but with a powerful demonstration by the Spirit,

I gave you milk to drink, not solid food, because you were not yet ready for it. In fact, you are still not ready,

Now some are inflated with pride, as though I were not coming to you.

For though I am absent in body but present in spirit, I have already decided about the one who has done this thing as though I were present.

And some of you used to be like this. But you were washed, you were sanctified, you were justified in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ and by the Spirit of our God.

for you were bought at a price. Therefore glorify God in your body.

I wish that all people were just like me. But each has his own gift from God, one person in this way and another in that way.

Were you called while a slave? It should not be a concern to you. But if you can become free, by all means take the opportunity.

You were bought at a price; do not become slaves of men.

Now I want you to know, brothers, that our fathers were all under the cloud, all passed through the sea,

and all were baptized into Moses in the cloud and in the sea.

But God was not pleased with most of them, for they were struck down in the wilderness.

Don’t become idolaters as some of them were; as it is written, The people sat down to eat and drink, and got up to play.

Let us not test Christ as some of them did and were destroyed by snakes.

Nor should we complain as some of them did, and were killed by the destroyer.

Now these things happened to them as examples, and they were written as a warning to us, on whom the ends of the ages have come.

If we were properly evaluating ourselves, we would not be judged,

You know that when you were pagans, you used to be led off to the idols that could not speak.

For we were all baptized by one Spirit into one body—whether Jews or Greeks, whether slaves or free—and we were all made to drink of one Spirit.

If the whole body were an eye, where would the hearing be? If the whole body were an ear, where would the sense of smell be?

And if they were all the same part, where would the body be?
