³⁴ And Laban said, Let it be as you say.

²⁹ And Balaam said to the ass, You have made me seem foolish: if only I had a sword in my hand I would put you to death.

⁷ It is my desire that all men might be even as I am. But every man has the power of his special way of life given him by God, one in this way and one in that.

⁵ Now though it is my desire for you all to have the power of tongues, it would give me more pleasure to be hearing the prophet's word from you; for this is a greater thing than using tongues, if the sense is not given at the same time, for the good of the church.

¹² My desire is that they who give you trouble might even be cut off themselves.
