¹² What I mean is that each of you says, “I belong to Paul,” or “I belong to Apollos,” or “I belong to Cephas,” or “I belong to Christ.”

²¹ So let no one boast about people.^[a] For all things are yours,^{(A) 22} whether Paul or Apollos or Cephas or the world or life or death or the present or the future—all are yours, ²³ and you are Christ’s, and Christ is God’s.^(B)

⁴² He brought Simon^[a] to Jesus, who looked at him and said, “You are Simon son of John. You are to be called Cephas”^[b] (which is translated Peter^[c]).^(A)

⁹ And call no one your father on earth, for you have one Father, the one in heaven.^{(A) 10} Nor are you to be called instructors, for you have one instructor, the Messiah.^[a]

⁶ The point is this: the one who sows sparingly will also reap sparingly, and the one who sows bountifully will also reap bountifully.^(A)

¹² Now concerning our brother Apollos, I strongly urged him to visit you with the other brothers and sisters, but he was not at all willing to come now. He will come when he has the opportunity.^(A)

⁵⁰ What I am saying, brothers and sisters, is this: flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God, nor does the perishable inherit the imperishable.^(A)
