2 Corinthians 5 18-2 Corinthians 5 20
Everything is from God, who reconciled us to Himself through Christ and gave us the ministry of reconciliation:That is, in Christ, God was reconciling the world to Himself, not counting their trespasses against them, and He has committed the message of reconciliation to us.Therefore, we are ambassadors for Christ, certain that God is appealing through us. We plead on Christ’s behalf,“ Be reconciled to God.”

1 Corinthians 12 28-1 Corinthians 12 29
And God has placed these in the church: first apostles, second prophets, third teachers, next miracles, then gifts of healing, helping, managing, various kinds of languages.Are all apostles? Are all prophets? Are all teachers? Do all do miracles?

1 Corinthians 1 11-1 Corinthians 1 13
For it has been reported to me about you, my brothers, by members of Chloe’s household, that there is rivalry among you.What I am saying is this: Each of you says,“ I’m with Paul,” or“ I’m with Apollos,” or“ I’m with Cephas,” or“ I’m with Christ.”Is Christ divided? Was it Paul who was crucified for you? Or were you baptized in Paul’s name?

1 Corinthians 15 12-1 Corinthians 15 34
Now if Christ is proclaimed as raised from the dead, how can some of you say,“ There is no resurrection of the dead”?But if there is no resurrection of the dead, then Christ has not been raised;and if Christ has not been raised, then our proclamation is without foundation, and so is your faith.In addition, we are found to be false witnesses about God, because we have testified about God that He raised up Christ— whom He did not raise up if in fact the dead are not raised.For if the dead are not raised, Christ has not been raised.And if Christ has not been raised, your faith is worthless; you are still in your sins.Therefore, those who have fallen asleep in Christ have also perished.If we have put our hope in Christ for this life only, we should be pitied more than anyone.But now Christ has been raised from the dead, the firstfruits of those who have fallen asleep.For since death came through a man, the resurrection of the dead also comes through a man.For as in Adam all die, so also in Christ all will be made alive.But each in his own order: Christ, the firstfruits; afterward, at His coming, those who belong to Christ.Then comes the end, when He hands over the kingdom to God the Father, when He abolishes all rule and all authority and power.For He must reign until He puts all His enemies under His feet.The last enemy to be abolished is death.For God has put everything under His feet. But when it says“ everything” is put under Him, it is obvious that He who puts everything under Him is the exception.And when everything is subject to Christ, then the Son Himself will also be subject to the One who subjected everything to Him, so that God may be all in all.Otherwise what will they do who are being baptized for the dead? If the dead are not raised at all, then why are people baptized for them?Why are we in danger every hour?I affirm by the pride in you that I have in Christ Jesus our Lord: I die every day!If I fought wild animals in Ephesus with only human hope, what good did that do me? If the dead are not raised, Let us eat and drink, for tomorrow we die.Do not be deceived:“ Bad company corrupts good morals.”Come to your senses and stop sinning, for some people are ignorant about God. I say this to your shame.

James 3:15-16
Such wisdom does not come from above but is earthly, unspiritual, demonic.For where envy and selfish ambition exist, there is disorder and every kind of evil.

James 4:4
Adulteresses! Don’t you know that friendship with the world is hostility toward God? So whoever wants to be the world’s friend becomes God’s enemy.

Galatians 3:1-3
You foolish Galatians! Who has hypnotized you, before whose eyes Jesus Christ was vividly portrayed as crucified?I only want to learn this from you: Did you receive the Spirit by the works of the law or by hearing with faith?Are you so foolish? After beginning with the Spirit, are you now going to be made complete by the flesh?

1 Corinthians 3 5-1 Corinthians 3 9
What then is Apollos? And what is Paul? They are servants through whom you believed, and each has the role the Lord has given.I planted, Apollos watered, but God gave the growth.So then neither the one who plants nor the one who waters is anything, but only God who gives the growth.Now the one planting and the one watering are one in purpose, and each will receive his own reward according to his own labor.For we are God’s coworkers. You are God’s field, God’s building.
