1 Corinthians 3:21 Cross References - BBE

²¹ So let no one take pride in men. For all things are yours;

²³ This is the word of the Lord: Let not the wise man take pride in his wisdom, or the strong man in his strength, or the man of wealth in his wealth: ²⁴ But if any man has pride, let it be in this, that he has the wisdom to have knowledge of me, that I am the Lord, working mercy, giving true decisions, and doing righteousness in the earth: for in these things I have delight, says the Lord.

¹³ For God's word, that the earth would be his heritage, was given to Abraham, not through the law, but through the righteousness of faith.

²⁸ And we are conscious that all things are working together for good to those who have love for God, and have been marked out by his purpose.

³² He who did not keep back his only Son, but gave him up for us all, will he not with him freely give us all things?

¹² That is, that some of you say, I am of Paul; some say, I am of Apollos; some say, I am of Cephas; and some say, I am Christ's. ¹³ Is there a division in Christ? was Paul nailed to the cross for you? or were you given baptism in the name of Paul? ¹⁴ I give praise to God that not one of you had baptism from me, but Crispus and Gaius; ¹⁵ So that no one may be able to say that you had baptism in my name. ¹⁶ And I gave baptism to the house of Stephanas; but I am not certain that any others had baptism from me. ¹⁷ For Christ sent me, not to give baptism, but to be a preacher of the good news: not with wise words, for fear that the cross of Christ might be made of no value.

⁴ For when one says, I am of Paul; and another says, I am of Apollos; are you not talking like natural men? ⁵ What then is Apollos? and what is Paul? They are but servants who gave you the good news as God gave it to them. ⁶ I did the planting, Apollos did the watering, but God gave the increase. ⁷ So then the planter is nothing, and the waterer is nothing; but God who gives the increase.

⁶ My brothers, it is because of you that I have taken Apollos and myself as examples of these things, so that in us you might see that it is not wise to go farther than what is in the holy Writings, so that no one of you may be lifted up against his brother.

⁵ For our preaching is not about ourselves, but about Christ Jesus as Lord, and ourselves as your servants through Jesus.

¹⁵ For we go through all things on account of you, because the greater the number to whom the grace is given, the greater is the praise to the glory of God.

⁷ He who overcomes will have these things for his heritage; and I will be his God, and he will be my son.
