Romans 12:8or he who exhorts, to his exhorting: he who gives, let him do it with liberality; he who rules, with diligence; he who shows mercy, with cheerfulness.Romans 15:16that I should be a servant of Christ Jesus to the Gentiles, serving as a priest the Good News of God, that the offering up of the Gentiles might be made acceptable, sanctified by the Holy Spirit.Romans 15:30Now I beg you, brothers, by our Lord Jesus Christ, and by the love of the Spirit, that you strive together with me in your prayers to God for me,Romans 15:31that I may be delivered from those who are disobedient in Judea, and that my service which I have for Jerusalem may be acceptable to the saints;Romans 15:32that I may come to you in joy through the will of God, and together with you, find rest.Romans 16:17Now I beg you, brothers, look out for those who are causing the divisions and occasions of stumbling, contrary to the doctrine which you learned, and turn away from them.Romans 16:18For those who are such don’t serve our Lord, Jesus Christ, but their own belly; and by their smooth and flattering speech, they deceive the hearts of the innocent.1 Corinthians 1:1Paul, called to be an apostle of Jesus Christ through the will of God, and our brother Sosthenes,1 Corinthians 1:16(I also baptized the household of Stephanas; besides them, I don’t know whether I baptized any other.)1 Corinthians 1:23but we preach Christ crucified; a stumbling block to Jews, and foolishness to Greeks,1 Corinthians 1:27but God chose the foolish things of the world that he might put to shame those who are wise. God chose the weak things of the world, that he might put to shame the things that are strong;1 Corinthians 1:28and God chose the lowly things of the world, and the things that are despised, and the things that are not, that he might bring to nothing the things that are:1 Corinthians 1:29that no flesh should boast before God.1 Corinthians 1:30But of him, you are in Christ Jesus, who was made to us wisdom from God, and righteousness and sanctification, and redemption:1 Corinthians 2:1When I came to you, brothers, I didn’t come with excellence of speech or of wisdom, proclaiming to you the testimony of God.1 Corinthians 2:2For I determined not to know anything among you, except Jesus Christ, and him crucified.1 Corinthians 2:3I was with you in weakness, in fear, and in much trembling.1 Corinthians 2:4My speech and my preaching were not in persuasive words of human wisdom, but in demonstration of the Spirit and of power,1 Corinthians 3:1Brothers, I couldn’t speak to you as to spiritual, but as to fleshly, as to babies in Christ.1 Corinthians 3:2I fed you with milk, not with meat; for you weren’t yet ready. Indeed, not even now are you ready,1 Corinthians 3:3for you are still fleshly. For insofar as there is jealousy, strife, and factions among you, aren’t you fleshly, and don’t you walk in the ways of men?1 Corinthians 3:4For when one says, “I follow Paul,” and another, “I follow Apollos,” aren’t you fleshly?1 Corinthians 3:7So then neither he who plants is anything, nor he who waters, but God who gives the increase.1 Corinthians 3:8Now he who plants and he who waters are the same, but each will receive his own reward according to his own labor.1 Corinthians 3:9For we are God’s fellow workers. You are God’s farming, God’s building.1 Corinthians 3:10According to the grace of God which was given to me, as a wise master builder I laid a foundation, and another builds on it. But let each man be careful how he builds on it.1 Corinthians 3:11For no one can lay any other foundation than that which has been laid, which is Jesus Christ.1 Corinthians 3:12But if anyone builds on the foundation with gold, silver, costly stones, wood, hay, or stubble;1 Corinthians 3:13each man’s work will be revealed. For the Day will declare it, because it is revealed in fire; and the fire itself will test what sort of work each man’s work is.1 Corinthians 3:14If any man’s work remains which he built on it, he will receive a reward.1 Corinthians 3:15If any man’s work is burned, he will suffer loss, but he himself will be saved, but as through fire.1 Corinthians 3:16Don’t you know that you are a temple of God, and that God’s Spirit lives in you?1 Corinthians 3:21Therefore let no one boast in men. For all things are yours,1 Corinthians 4:1So let a man think of us as Christ’s servants, and stewards of God’s mysteries.1 Corinthians 4:2Here, moreover, it is required of stewards, that they be found faithful.1 Corinthians 4:9For, I think that God has displayed us, the apostles, last of all, like men sentenced to death. For we are made a spectacle to the world, both to angels and men.1 Corinthians 4:10We are fools for Christ’s sake, but you are wise in Christ. We are weak, but you are strong. You have honor, but we have dishonor.1 Corinthians 4:11Even to this present hour we hunger, thirst, are naked, are beaten, and have no certain dwelling place.1 Corinthians 4:12We toil, working with our own hands. When people curse us, we bless. Being persecuted, we endure.1 Corinthians 4:13Being defamed, we entreat. We are made as the filth of the world, the dirt wiped off by all, even until now.1 Corinthians 4:15For though you have ten thousand tutors in Christ, yet not many fathers. For in Christ Jesus, I became your father through the Good News.1 Corinthians 4:21What do you want? Shall I come to you with a rod, or in love and a spirit of gentleness?1 Corinthians 9:1Am I not free? Am I not an apostle? Haven’t I seen Jesus Christ, our Lord? Aren’t you my work in the Lord?1 Corinthians 9:2If to others I am not an apostle, yet at least I am to you; for you are the seal of my apostleship in the Lord.1 Corinthians 9:3My defense to those who examine me is this.1 Corinthians 9:4Have we no right to eat and to drink?1 Corinthians 9:5Have we no right to take along a wife who is a believer, even as the rest of the apostles, and the brothers of the Lord, and Cephas?1 Corinthians 9:6Or have only Barnabas and I no right to not work?1 Corinthians 9:7What soldier ever serves at his own expense? Who plants a vineyard, and doesn’t eat of its fruit? Or who feeds a flock, and doesn’t drink from the flock’s milk?1 Corinthians 9:8Do I speak these things according to the ways of men? Or doesn’t the law also say the same thing?1 Corinthians 9:9For it is written in the law of Moses, “You shall not muzzle an ox while it treads out the grain.” Is it for the oxen that God cares,1 Corinthians 9:10or does he say it assuredly for our sake? Yes, it was written for our sake, because he who plows ought to plow in hope, and he who threshes in hope should partake of his hope.1 Corinthians 9:11If we sowed to you spiritual things, is it a great thing if we reap your fleshly things?1 Corinthians 9:12If others partake of this right over you, don’t we yet more? Nevertheless we did not use this right, but we bear all things, that we may cause no hindrance to the Good News of Christ.1 Corinthians 9:13Don’t you know that those who serve around sacred things eat from the things of the temple, and those who wait on the altar have their portion with the altar?1 Corinthians 9:14Even so the Lord ordained that those who proclaim the Good News should live from the Good News.1 Corinthians 9:15But I have used none of these things, and I don’t write these things that it may be done so in my case; for I would rather die, than that anyone should make my boasting void.1 Corinthians 9:16For if I preach the Good News, I have nothing to boast about; for necessity is laid on me; but woe is to me, if I don’t preach the Good News.1 Corinthians 9:17For if I do this of my own will, I have a reward. But if not of my own will, I have a stewardship entrusted to me.1 Corinthians 9:18What then is my reward? That, when I preach the Good News, I may present the Good News of Christ without charge, so as not to abuse my authority in the Good News.
