1 Corinthians 15:1

By Silvanus, a faithful brother unto you, as I suppose, I have written briefly, exhorting, and testifying that this is the true grace of God wherein ye stand.

For this cause also thank we God without ceasing, because, when ye received the word of God which ye heard of us, ye received it not as the word of men, but as it is in truth, the word of God, which effectually worketh also in you that believe.

Now we command you, brethren, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that ye withdraw yourselves from every brother that walketh disorderly, and not after the tradition which he received of us.

And ye became followers of us, and of the Lord, having received the word in much affliction, with joy of the Holy Ghost:

Furthermore then we beseech you, brethren, and exhort you by the Lord Jesus, that as ye have received of us how ye ought to walk and to please God, so ye would abound more and more.

He that rejecteth me, and receiveth not my words, hath one that judgeth him: the word that I have spoken, the same shall judge him in the last day.

Not for that we have dominion over your faith, but are helpers of your joy: for by faith ye stand.

And the apostles and brethren that were in Judaea heard that the Gentiles had also received the word of God.

Then they that gladly received his word were baptized: and the same day there were added unto them about three thousand souls.

I have planted, Apollos watered; but God gave the increase.

By whom also we have access by faith into this grace wherein we stand, and rejoice in hope of the glory of God.

In the day when God shall judge the secrets of men by Jesus Christ according to my gospel.
