⁶ And these things, brethren, I have in a figure transferred to myself and to Apollos for your sakes; that ye might learn in us not to think of men above that which is written, that no one of you be puffed up for one against another.

⁸ Now ye are full, now ye are rich, ye have reigned as kings without us: and I would to God ye did reign, that we also might reign with you.

² And ye are puffed up, and have not rather mourned, that he that hath done this deed might be taken away from among you.

²¹ What will ye? shall I come unto you with a rod, or in love, and in the spirit of meekness?
