That no flesh should glory in his presence.

Grace be unto you, and peace, from God our Father, and from the Lord Jesus Christ.

But of him are ye in Christ Jesus, who of God is made unto us wisdom, and righteousness, and sanctification, and redemption: ReflectionThis verse highlights the transformative power of Christ in the lives of believers. Through Jesus, God provides everything necessary for spiritual life and growth: wisdom to understand His ways, righteousness to be made […]

That, according as it is written, He that glorieth, let him glory in the Lord.

I thank my God always on your behalf, for the grace of God which is given you by Jesus Christ; ReflectionIn this verse, Paul expresses gratitude for the believers in Corinth, acknowledging the grace of God at work in their lives.

And were all baptized unto Moses in the cloud and in the sea;

But I say, that the things which the Gentiles sacrifice, they sacrifice to devils, and not to God: and I would not that ye should have fellowship with devils.

Let no man seek his own, but every man another’s wealth.
