¹⁹ For you put up with the foolish gladly, being wise yourselves.

¹⁰ We are made to seem foolish for Christ, but you are wise in Christ; we are feeble, but you are strong; you have glory, but we have shame.

¹ Now about things offered to images: we all seem to ourselves to have knowledge. Knowledge gives pride, but love gives true strength.

¹⁵ What I am saying is for wise men, do you be the judges of it.

¹⁷ For you say, I have wealth, and have got together goods and land, and have need of nothing; and you are not conscious of your sad and unhappy condition, that you are poor and blind and without clothing.
