just as I also strive to please everyone in everything, not seeking my own profit, but of the many, in order that they may be saved.

But the manifestation is given through the Spirit to each one for the profit of all:

And if I were to bestow all my goods to feed the poor, and if I were to give my body to be burned, but have not love, it profits me nothing.

And do not turn aside to go after vanities which cannot profit nor deliver, for they are nothing.

O Jehovah, my strength and my fortress, and my refuge in the day of affliction, the nations shall come to You from the ends of the earth, and shall say, Surely our fathers have inherited lies, vanity, and things wherein there is no profit.

Jehovah says, Behold, I am against those who prophesy false dreams and tell them, and cause My people to go astray by their lies and by their foolishness. Yet I did not send them nor command them; therefore they shall not profit this people at all, says Jehovah.

For what profit is it to a man if he gains the whole world, and loses his own soul? Or what will a man give in exchange for his soul?

Remind them of these things, charging them before the Lord not to argue with empty words to no good, to the destruction of the hearers.

This is a faithful saying, and these things I want you to affirm constantly, that those believing in God should be careful to maintain good works. These things are good and profitable to men.

Do not be carried about with various and strange doctrines. For it is good that the heart be established by grace, not with foods which have not profited those who have been occupied with them.

How is it then, brethren? Whenever you come together, each one of you has a psalm, has a teaching, has a tongue, has a revelation, has an interpretation. Let all things be done for building up.

But if there is no interpreter, let him keep silent in church, and let him speak to himself and to God.

But if anything is revealed to another who sits by, let the first keep silent.

At that time Jesus answered and said, I thank You, Father, Lord of Heaven and earth, that You have hidden these things from the wise and intelligent, and have revealed them to babes.

And Jesus answered and said to him, Blessed are you, Simon Bar-Jonah, for flesh and blood has not revealed this to you, but My Father who is in Heaven.

It is really not profitable for me to boast, for I will come to visions and revelations of the Lord.

And so that I should not be exalted above measure by the abundance of the revelations, a thorn in the flesh was given to me, a messenger of Satan that he might buffet me, that I should not be made haughty.

that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may give to you the spirit of wisdom and revelation in the full true knowledge of Him,

Therefore let us, as many as are complete, be of this mind; and if in anything you think differently, God will reveal even this to you.

for to one is given a word of wisdom through the Spirit, to another a word of knowledge through the same Spirit,

And if I were to have the gift of prophecy, and understand all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I were to have all faith, so that I could remove mountains, but have not love, I am nothing.

Love never fails. But if there are prophecies, they will come to an end; if there are tongues, they will cease; if there is knowledge, it will come to an end.

For we know in part and we prophesy in part.

Now I myself am confident concerning you, my brethren, that you also are full of goodness, filled with all knowledge, able also to admonish one another.

Even though I am unskilled in speech, yet not in knowledge; but have been fully exposed to you in all things.

by which, when you read, you may understand my knowledge in the mystery of Christ),

But also for this very reason, giving all diligence, supply with your faith virtue, with virtue knowledge,

But grow in the grace and knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. To Him be the glory both now and forever. Amen.

Pursue love, and be zealous over spiritual matters, but rather that you may prophesy.

And if I were to have the gift of prophecy, and understand all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I were to have all faith, so that I could remove mountains, but have not love, I am nothing.

How is it then, brethren? Whenever you come together, each one of you has a psalm, has a teaching, has a tongue, has a revelation, has an interpretation. Let all things be done for building up.

Now I exhort you, brethren, note those who cause divisions and snares, contrary to the doctrine which you learned, and turn away from them.

But you have carefully followed my doctrine, manner of life, purpose, faith, longsuffering, love, perseverance,

All Scripture is breathed by God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness,

Preach the Word. Be ready in season and out of season. Convince, rebuke, exhort, with all longsuffering and teaching.

Whoever transgresses and does not abide in the doctrine of Christ does not have God. He who abides in the doctrine of Christ has both the Father and the Son.
