2 Corinthians 5 18-2 Corinthians 5 20
But all things are of God, who reconciled us to himself through Jesus Christ, and gave to us the ministry of reconciliation;namely, that God was in Christ reconciling the world to himself, not reckoning to them their trespasses, and having committed to us the word of reconciliation.We are therefore ambassadors on behalf of Christ, as though God were entreating by us: we beg you on behalf of Christ, be reconciled to God.

1 Corinthians 12 28-1 Corinthians 12 29
God has set some in the assembly: first apostles, second prophets, third teachers, then miracle workers, then gifts of healings, helps, governments, and various kinds of languages.Are all apostles? Are all prophets? Are all teachers? Are all miracle workers?

1 Corinthians 1 11-1 Corinthians 1 13
For it has been reported to me concerning you, my brothers, by those who are from Chloe’s household, that there are contentions among you.Now I mean this, that each one of you says,“ I follow Paul,”“ I follow Apollos,”“ I follow Cephas,” and,“ I follow Christ.”Is Christ divided? Was Paul crucified for you? Or were you baptized into the name of Paul?

1 Corinthians 15 12-1 Corinthians 15 34
Now if Christ is preached, that he has been raised from the dead, how do some among you say that there is no resurrection of the dead?But if there is no resurrection of the dead, neither has Christ been raised.If Christ has not been raised, then our preaching is in vain, and your faith also is in vain.Yes, we are also found false witnesses of God, because we testified about God that he raised up Christ, whom he didn’t raise up, if it is so that the dead are not raised.For if the dead aren’t raised, neither has Christ been raised.If Christ has not been raised, your faith is vain; you are still in your sins.Then they also who are fallen asleep in Christ have perished.If we have only hoped in Christ in this life, we are of all men most pitiable.But now Christ has been raised from the dead. He became the first fruits of those who are asleep.For since death came by man, the resurrection of the dead also came by man.For as in Adam all die, so also in Christ all will be made alive.But each in his own order: Christ the first fruits, then those who are Christ’s, at his coming.Then the end comes, when he will deliver up the Kingdom to God, even the Father, when he will have abolished all rule and all authority and power.For he must reign until he has put all his enemies under his feet.The last enemy that will be abolished is death.For,“ He put all things in subjection under his feet.” But when he says,“ All things are put in subjection”, it is evident that he is excepted who subjected all things to him.When all things have been subjected to him, then the Son will also himself be subjected to him who subjected all things to him, that God may be all in all.Or else what will they do who are baptized for the dead? If the dead aren’t raised at all, why then are they baptized for the dead?Why do we also stand in jeopardy every hour?I affirm, by the boasting in you which I have in Christ Jesus our Lord, I die daily.If I fought with animals at Ephesus for human purposes, what does it profit me? If the dead are not raised, then“ let’s eat and drink, for tomorrow we die.”Don’t be deceived!“ Evil companionships corrupt good morals.”Wake up righteously, and don’t sin, for some have no knowledge of God. I say this to your shame.

James 3:15-16
This wisdom is not that which comes down from above, but is earthly, sensual, and demonic.For where jealousy and selfish ambition are, there is confusion and every evil deed.

James 4:4
You adulterers and adulteresses, don’t you know that friendship with the world is hostility toward God? Whoever therefore wants to be a friend of the world makes himself an enemy of God.

Galatians 3:1-3
Foolish Galatians, who has bewitched you not to obey the truth, before whose eyes Jesus Christ was openly portrayed among you as crucified?I just want to learn this from you: Did you receive the Spirit by the works of the law, or by hearing of faith?Are you so foolish? Having begun in the Spirit, are you now completed in the flesh?

1 Corinthians 3 5-1 Corinthians 3 9
Who then is Apollos, and who is Paul, but servants through whom you believed, and each as the Lord gave to him?I planted. Apollos watered. But God gave the increase.So then neither he who plants is anything, nor he who waters, but God who gives the increase.Now he who plants and he who waters are the same, but each will receive his own reward according to his own labor.For we are God’s fellow workers. You are God’s farming, God’s building.
