Not that we have dominion over your faith, but are helpers of your joy: for by faith you stand.
Neither as being lords over God's heritage, but being examples to the flock.
Moreover, brethren, I declare unto you the gospel which I preached unto you, which also you have received, and in which you stand;
(For we walk by faith, not by sight:)
For we preach not ourselves, but Christ Jesus the Lord; and ourselves your servants for Jesus' sake.
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.
And shall begin to smite his fellow servants, and to eat and drink with the drunkards;
Who then is Paul, and who is Apollos, but ministers by whom you believed, even as the Lord gave to every man?
That is, that I may be comforted together with you by the mutual faith both of you and me.
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.
