Though He slay me, yet will I wait for Him; but I will prove my own ways before Him.

Examine me, O Jehovah, and prove me; purify my being and my heart.

But let a man examine himself, and so let him eat of the bread and drink of the cup.

Examine yourselves as to whether you are in the faith. Test yourselves. Do you not know, yourselves, that Jesus Christ is in you; unless indeed you are ones failing the test?

The backslider in heart shall be filled with his own ways, but a good man from himself.

But with me it is a very small thing that I should be judged by you or by a human day in court. In fact, I do not even judge myself.

For I know nothing against myself, yet I am not justified by this; but He who judges me is the Lord.

For our rejoicing is this: the testimony of our conscience, that we conducted ourselves in the world in simplicity and godly sincerity, not in fleshly wisdom but in the grace of God, and more abundantly toward you.

And by this we know that we are of the truth, and shall assure our hearts before Him.

Beloved, if our heart does not condemn us, we have confidence toward God.

For not even those who are circumcised keep the Law, but they desire to have you circumcised that they may boast in your flesh.

The Pharisee stood and prayed thus to himself, God, I thank You that I am not like other men; extortioners, unjust, adulterers, or even as this tax collector.

Now I say this, that each of you says, I am of Paul, and I of Apollos, and I of Cephas, and I of Christ.

Is Christ divided? Was Paul crucified for you? Or were you immersed into the name of Paul?

Therefore let no one boast in men. For all things are yours:

And you are Christ's, and Christ is God's.

Now these things, brethren, I have figuratively transferred to myself and Apollos for your sakes, that you may learn in us not to think beyond what is written, that none of you may be puffed up one over the other.

For who makes you differ from another? And what do you have that you did not receive? Now if you did indeed receive it, why do you boast as if you had not received it?

But what I do, I will also do, that I may cut off the opportunity from those who desire an opportunity to be regarded just as we are in the things of which they boast.

For such are false apostles, deceitful workers, transforming themselves into apostles of Christ.
