²¹ So ^(A)let no one boast in men. For ^(B)all things are yours,

^32 (A)He who did not spare his own Son but ^(B)gave him up for us all, how will he not also with him graciously give us all things?

⁶ I have applied all these things to myself and Apollos for your benefit, brothers,^[a] that you may learn by us not to go beyond what is written, that none of you may ^(A)be puffed up in favor of one against another.

²⁸ And we know that for those who love God all things work together ^(A)for good,^[a] for ^(B)those who are called according to his purpose.

²³ Thus says the Lord: ^(A)“Let not the wise man boast in his wisdom, let not the mighty man boast in his might, let not the rich man boast in his riches, ²⁴ but ^(B)let him who boasts boast in this, that he understands and knows me, that I am the Lord who practices steadfast love, justice, and righteousness in the earth. ^(C)For in these things I delight, declares the Lord.”

^7 (A)The one who conquers will have this heritage, and ^(B)I will be his God and ^(C)he will be my son.

⁴ For ^(A)when one says, “I follow Paul,” and another, “I follow Apollos,” ^(B)are you not being merely human?

⁵ What then is Apollos? What is Paul? ^(C)Servants through whom you believed, ^(D)as the Lord assigned to each. ^6 (E)I planted, ^(F)Apollos watered, ^(G)but God gave the growth. ⁷ So ^(H)neither he who plants nor he who waters is anything, but only God who gives the growth.

The Promise Realized Through Faith

¹³ For ^(A)the promise to Abraham and his offspring ^(B)that he would be heir of the world did not come through the law but through the righteousness of faith.

⁵ For what ^(A)we proclaim is not ourselves, but Jesus Christ as Lord, with ^(B)ourselves as your servants^[a] for Jesus' sake.
