'Things' in the Bible

Instead, God has chosen what is foolish in the world to shame the wise, and God has chosen what is weak in the world to shame the strong.

God has chosen what is insignificant and despised in the world—what is viewed as nothing—to bring to nothing what is viewed as something,

Now God has revealed these things to us by the Spirit, for the Spirit searches everything, even the depths of God.

We also speak these things, not in words taught by human wisdom, but in those taught by the Spirit, explaining spiritual things to spiritual people.

So no one should boast in human leaders, for everything is yours—

whether Paul or Apollos or Cephas or the world or life or death or things present or things to come—everything is yours,

Now, brothers, I have applied these things to myself and Apollos for your benefit, so that you may learn from us the saying: “Nothing beyond what is written.” The purpose is that none of you will be inflated with pride in favor of one person over another.

when we are slandered, we respond graciously. Even now, we are like the world’s garbage, like the dirt everyone scrapes off their sandals.

Don’t you know that we will judge angels—not to mention ordinary matters?

Now in response to the matters you wrote about: “It is good for a man not to have relations with a woman.”

I want you to be without concerns. An unmarried man is concerned about the things of the Lord—how he may please the Lord.

But a married man is concerned about the things of the world—how he may please his wife—

and his interests are divided. An unmarried woman or a virgin is concerned about the things of the Lord, so that she may be holy both in body and in spirit. But a married woman is concerned about the things of the world—how she may please her husband.

yet for us there is one God, the Father.All things are from Him,and we exist for Him.And there is one Lord, Jesus Christ.All things are through Him,and we exist through Him.

If we have sown spiritual things for you, is it too much if we reap material benefits from you?

To the weak I became weak, in order to win the weak. I have become all things to all people, so that I may by every possible means save some.

Now these things became examples for us, so that we will not desire evil things as they did.

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.

just as I also try to please all people in all things, not seeking my own profit, but the profit of many, so that they may be saved. >

Now I praise you because you always remember me and keep the traditions just as I delivered them to you.

For just as woman came from man, so man comes through woman, and all things come from God.

It bears all things, believes all things,hopes all things, endures all things.

When I was a child,I spoke like a child,I thought like a child,I reasoned like a child.When I became a man,I put aside childish things.

Even inanimate things that produce sounds—whether flute or harp—if they don’t make a distinction in the notes, how will what is played on the flute or harp be recognized?

What then is the conclusion, brothers? Whenever you come together, each one has a psalm, a teaching, a revelation, another language, or an interpretation. All things must be done for edification.
