Galatians 1:6-12
I am amazed that you are so quickly turning away from Him who called you by the grace of Christ and are turning to a different gospel—not that there is another gospel, but there are some who are troubling you and want to change the good news about the Messiah.But even if we or an angel from heaven should preach to you a gospel other than what we have preached to you, a curse be on him!As we have said before, I now say again: If anyone preaches to you a gospel contrary to what you received, a curse be on him!For am I now trying to win the favor of people, or God? Or am I striving to please people? If I were still trying to please people, I would not be a slave of Christ.Now I want you to know, brothers, that the gospel preached by me is not based on human thought.For I did not receive it from a human source and I was not taught it, but it came by a revelation from Jesus Christ.

1 Corinthians 15 3-1 Corinthians 15 11
For I passed on to you as most important what I also received: that Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures,that He was buried, that He was raised on the third day according to the Scriptures,and that He appeared to Cephas, then to the Twelve.Then He appeared to over 500 brothers at one time; most of them are still alive, but some have fallen asleep.Then He appeared to James, then to all the apostles.Last of all, as to one abnormally born, He also appeared to me.For I am the least of the apostles, unworthy to be called an apostle, because I persecuted the church of God.But by God’s grace I am what I am, and His grace toward me was not ineffective. However, I worked more than any of them, yet not I, but God’s grace that was with me.Therefore, whether it is I or they, so we proclaim and so you have believed.

Mark 4:16-20
And these are the ones sown on rocky ground: when they hear the word, immediately they receive it with joy.But they have no root in themselves; they are short-lived. When pressure or persecution comes because of the word, they immediately stumble.Others are sown among thorns; these are the ones who hear the word,but the worries of this age, the seduction of wealth, and the desires for other things enter in and choke the word, and it becomes unfruitful.But the ones sown on good ground are those who hear the word, welcome it, and produce a crop: 30, 60, and 100 times what was sown.”

1 Corinthians 2 2-1 Corinthians 2 7
For I didn’t think it was a good idea to know anything among you except Jesus Christ and Him crucified.I came to you in weakness, in fear, and in much trembling.My speech and my proclamation were not with persuasive words of wisdom but with a powerful demonstration by the Spirit,so that your faith might not be based on men’s wisdom but on God’s power.However, we do speak a wisdom among the mature, but not a wisdom of this age, or of the rulers of this age, who are coming to nothing.On the contrary, we speak God’s hidden wisdom in a mystery, a wisdom God predestined before the ages for our glory.
-
1 Corinthians 1 4-1 Corinthians 1 8
I always thank my God for you because of God’s grace given to you in Christ Jesus,that by Him you were enriched in everything— in all speech and all knowledge.In this way, the testimony about Christ was confirmed among you,so that you do not lack any spiritual gift as you eagerly wait for the revelation of our Lord Jesus Christ.He will also strengthen you to the end, so that you will be blameless in the day of our Lord Jesus Christ.
