To the present hour we are hungry and thirsty, poorly clothed, brutally treated, and without a roof over our heads.

But you yourselves wrong and cheat, and you do this to your brothers and sisters!

And there are different ministries, but the same Lord.

Do not give offense to Jews or Greeks or to the church of God,

also to submit to people like this, and to everyone who cooperates in the work and labors hard.

My conversation and my preaching were not with persuasive words of wisdom, but with a demonstration of the Spirit and of power,

Like the one made of dust, so too are those made of dust, and like the one from heaven, so too those who are heavenly.

Indeed, the spirits of the prophets are subject to the prophets,

Grace and peace to you from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ!

For Jews demand miraculous signs and Greeks ask for wisdom,

But to those who are called, both Jews and Greeks, Christ is the power of God and the wisdom of God.

And I was with you in weakness and in fear and with much trembling.

and all were baptized into Moses in the cloud and in the sea,

That is why many of you are weak and sick, and quite a few are dead.

But the one who prophesies speaks to people for their strengthening, encouragement, and consolation.

and that he was buried, and that he was raised on the third day according to the scriptures,

because a door of great opportunity stands wide open for me, but there are many opponents.

God chose what is low and despised in the world, what is regarded as nothing, to set aside what is regarded as something,

those with tears like those not weeping, those who rejoice like those not rejoicing, those who buy like those without possessions,

Do we not have the right to the company of a believing wife, like the other apostles and the Lord’s brothers and Cephas?
