God is faithful: by whom you are called unto the fellowship of his Son, Jesus Christ our Lord.

I give God thanks, that I baptized none of you but Crispus and Caius:

For the word of the cross, to them indeed that perish, is foolishness: but to them that are saved, that is, to us, it is the power of God.

Where is the wise? Where is the scribe? Where is the disputer of this world? Hath not God made foolish the wisdom of this world?

For, seeing that in the wisdom of God, the world, by wisdom, knew not God, it pleased God, by the foolishness of our preaching, to save them that believe.

But to us God hath revealed them by his Spirit. For the Spirit searcheth all things, yea, the deep things of God.

For what man knoweth the things of a man, but the spirit of a man that is in him? So the things also that are of God, no man knoweth, but the Spirit of God.

Now, we have received not the spirit of this world, but the Spirit that is of God: that we may know the things that are given us from God.

I have planted, Apollo watered: but God gave the increase.

Therefore, neither he that planteth is any thing, nor he that watereth: but God that giveth the increase.

According to the grace of God that is given to me, as a wise architect, I have laid the foundation: and another buildeth thereon. But let every man take heed how he buildeth thereupon.
