I have been reading through 1 Corinthians over the past
couple of weeks and have really been enjoying it. I do not have anything extremely profound to
say, but decided that God’s Word is sufficient on its own. I found many verses while reading through this
book that stood out to me and found them all to be reminders that it is God
working in and through us to produce anything good. I pray that these verses will be as much an
encouragement to you as they are to me:

“For Christ did not send me to baptize but to preach the
gospel, and not with words of eloquent wisdom, lest the cross of Christ be
emptied of its power.�

                                                                                                                                     ~1
Cor. 1:17

“He is the source of your life in Christ Jesus, whom God
made our wisdom and our righteousness and sanctification and redemption.�

                                                                                                                                     ~
1 Cor. 1:30

“For I decided to know nothing among you except Jesus Christ
and him crucified.�

                                                                                                                                     ~1
Cor. 2:2

“So neither he who plants nor he who waters is anything, but
only God who gives the growth.�

                                                                                                                                     ~1
Cor. 3:7

“Only let each person lead the life that the Lord has
assigned to him, and to which God has called him.�

                                                                                                                                     ~1
Cor. 7:17

“So, whether you eat or drink, or whatever you do, do all to
the glory of God. Give no offense to
Jews or to Greeks or the church of God, just as I try to please everyone in
everything I do, not seeking my own advantage, but that of many, that they may
be saved.�

                                                                                                                              ~1 Cor. 10:31-33

“Therefore, my beloved brothers, be steadfast, immovable,
always abounding in the work of the Lord, knowing that in the Lord your labor
is not in vain.�

                                                                                                                                    ~1
Cor. 15:58
