- But God
-
- Do not lift up your horn on high, do
not speak with insolent pride. For not from the east, nor from the west, nor
from the desert comes exaltation; but God is the Judge; He puts down one and
exalts another…You are those who justify yourselves in the sight of men, but
God knows your hearts; for that which is highly esteemed among men is
detestable in the sight of God…But God demonstrates His own love toward us, in
that while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us…But God raised Him up
again, putting an end to the agony of death, since it was impossible for Him
to be held in its power…But God will redeem my soul from the power of Sheol,
for He will receive me…My flesh and my heart may fail, but God is the strength
of my heart and my portion forever…But God, being rich in mercy, because of
His great love with which He loved us, even when we were dead in our
transgressions, made us alive together with Christ (by grace you have been
saved), and raised us up with Him, and seated us with Him in the heavenly
places in Christ Jesus, so that in the ages to come He might show the
surpassing riches of His grace in kindness toward us in Christ Jesus…but God
has chosen the foolish things of the world to shame the wise, and God has
chosen the weak things of the world to shame the things which are strong…I
planted, Apollos watered, but God was causing the growth. So then neither the
one who plants nor the one who waters is anything, but God who causes the
growth…but just as we have been approved by God to be entrusted with the
gospel, so we speak, not as pleasing men, but God who examines our hearts.
