Only One Gospel
6 I marvel that you are turning away so soon (A)from Him who called you in the grace of Christ, to a different gospel, 7 (B)which is not another; but there are some (C)who trouble you and want to (D)pervert[a] the gospel of Christ. 8 But even if (E)we, or an angel from heaven, preach any other gospel to you than what we have preached to you, let him be [b]accursed. 9 As we have said before, so now I say again, if anyone preaches any other gospel to you (F)than what you have received, let him be accursed.
10 For (G)do I now (H)persuade men, or God? Or (I)do I seek to please men? For if I still pleased men, I would not be a bondservant of Christ.
Call to Apostleship(J)
11 (K)But I make known to you, brethren, that the gospel which was preached by me is not according to man. 12 For (L)I neither received it from man, nor was I taught it, but it came (M)through the revelation of Jesus Christ.

1 Corinthians 15:3-11
New King James Version
3 For (A)I delivered to you first of all that (B)which I also received: that Christ died for our sins (C)according to the Scriptures, 4 and that He was buried, and that He rose again the third day (D)according to the Scriptures, 5 (E)and that He was seen by [a]Cephas, then (F)by the twelve. 6 After that He was seen by over five hundred brethren at once, of whom the greater part remain to the present, but some have [b]fallen asleep. 7 After that He was seen by James, then (G)by all the apostles. 8 (H)Then last of all He was seen by me also, as by one born out of due time.
9 For I am (I)the least of the apostles, who am not worthy to be called an apostle, because (J)I persecuted the church of God. 10 But (K)by the grace of God I am what I am, and His grace toward me was not in vain; but I labored more abundantly than they all, (L)yet not I, but the grace of God which was with me. 11 Therefore, whether it was I or they, so we preach and so you believed.

New King James Version
16 These likewise are the ones sown on stony ground who, when they hear the word, immediately receive it with gladness; 17 and they have no root in themselves, and so endure only for a time. Afterward, when tribulation or persecution arises for the word’s sake, immediately they stumble. 18 Now these are the ones sown among thorns; they are the ones who hear the word, 19 and the (A)cares of this world, (B)the deceitfulness of riches, and the desires for other things entering in choke the word, and it becomes unfruitful. 20 But these are the ones sown on good ground, those who hear the word, [a]accept it, and bear (C)fruit: some thirtyfold, some sixty, and some a hundred.”

Spiritual Wisdom
6 However, we speak wisdom among those who are mature, yet not the wisdom of this age, nor of the rulers of this age, who are coming to nothing. 7 But we speak the wisdom of God in a mystery, the hidden wisdom which God [b]ordained before the ages for our glory,
