'Think' in the Bible

Now I have applied these things [that is, the analogies about factions] to myself and Apollos for your benefit, believers, so that you may learn from us not to go beyond what is written [in Scripture], so that none of you will become arrogant and boast in favor of one [minister or teacher] against the other.

[You behave as if] you are already filled [with spiritual wisdom and in need of nothing more]. Already you have become rich [in spiritual gifts]! You [in your conceit] have ascended your thrones and become kings without us; and how I wish [that it were true and] that you did reign as kings, so that we might reign with you.

I think then that because of the impending distress [that is, the pressure of the current trouble], it is good for a man to remain as he is.

But in my opinion a widow is happier if she stays as she is. And I think that I also have the Spirit of God [in this matter].

I am speaking as to wise and sensible people; judge [carefully and thoughtfully consider] for yourselves what I say.
