that in every way you were enriched in him in all speech and all knowledge—

God is faithful, by whom you were called into the fellowship of his Son, Jesus Christ our Lord.

so that no one may say that you were baptized in my name.

For consider your calling, brothers: not many of you were wise according to worldly standards, not many were powerful, not many were of noble birth.

I fed you with milk, not solid food, for you were not ready for it. And even now you are not yet ready,

And such were some of you. But you were washed, you were sanctified, you were justified in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ and by the Spirit of our God.

for you were bought with a price. So glorify God in your body.

You were bought with a price; do not become bondservants of men.

You know that when you were pagans you were led astray to mute idols, however you were led.
