who, for my life, surrendered their own necks; and to whom, not only I am grateful, but also all the churches of the Gentiles.

For they who are such, do not serve our Lord Jesus Messiah, but their own belly: and by bland speeches and good wishes, they beguile the hearts of the simple.

but is at this time revealed, by means of the scriptures of the prophets; and by the command of the eternal God, is made known to all the Gentiles, for the obedience of faith;)

27 [to him] who only is wise, be glory, through Jesus Messiah, for ever and ever: Amen [fn] {to him}

I thank my God at all times on your behalf, for the grace of God which is given to you in Jesus Messiah;

so that ye are not inferior in any one of his gifts; but are waiting for the manifestation of our Lord Jesus Messiah:

For concerning you, my Brethren, it hath been reported to me by the house of Chloe, that there are contentions among you.

Now was Messiah divided? Or was Paul crucified for you? Or were ye baptized in the name of Paul?

For Messiah did not send me to baptize, but to preach; not with wisdom of words, lest the cross of Messiah should be inefficient.

For a discourse concerning the cross is, to them who perish, foolishness; but to us who live, it is the energy of God.

For it is written: I will destroy the wisdom of the wise; and I will dissipate the intelligence of the sagacious.

For in the wisdom of God, because the world by wisdom knew not God, it pleased God, by the foolishness of preaching, to quicken them who believe.

Because the Jews ask for signs, and the Gentiles demand wisdom.

For look also at your calling, my Brethren; that not many among you are wise, according to the flesh; and not many among you are mighty, and not many among you are of high birth.

But we speak the wisdom of God, in a mystery; the wisdom which was hidden, and which God predetermined before the world was, for our glory:

which no one of the potentates of this world knew; for had they known it, they would not have crucified the Lord of glory.

But, as it is written: The eye hath not seen, nor hath the ear heard, nor hath it entered into the heart of man, that which God hath prepared for those who love him.

But God hath revealed it to us, by his Spirit; for the Spirit exploreth all things, even the profound things of God.

For what man is there, who knoweth that which is in a man, except it be the spirit of the man, which is in him? So also, that which is in God, no one knoweth, except the Spirit of God.

For a man in his natural self, receiveth not spirituals; for they are foolishness to him. Neither can he know them; for they are discerned by the Spirit.
