Not that we have dominion over your faith, but are helpers of your joy: for by faith you stand.
And shall begin to smite his fellow servants, and to eat and drink with the drunkards;
That is, that I may be comforted together with you by the mutual faith both of you and me.
Well; because of unbelief they were broken off, and you stand by faith. Be not arrogant, but fear:
By whom also we have access by faith into this grace in which we stand, and rejoice in hope of the glory of God.
Moreover, brethren, I declare unto you the gospel which I preached unto you, which also you have received, and in which you stand;
Who then is Paul, and who is Apollos, but ministers by whom you believed, even as the Lord gave to every man?
For you permit it, if a man brings you into bondage, if a man devours you, if a man takes of you, if a man exalts himself, if a man smites you on the face.
For we preach not ourselves, but Christ Jesus the Lord; and ourselves your servants for Jesus' sake.
(For we walk by faith, not by sight:)
Neither as being lords over God's heritage, but being examples to the flock.
