For consider, brothers, what happened when God called you. Not many of you were what men call wise, not many of you were influential, not many were of high birth.

For no matter how many guides you may have in the Christian life, you will not have many fathers; for in this matter of union with Christ, I became your father, through preaching the good news to you.

Because there is one loaf, we, many as we are, are one body, for we all share the one loaf.

This is why many of you are sick and ill and a number have fallen asleep.

For just as the body is one and yet has many parts, and all the parts of the body, many as they are, form one body, so it is with Christ.

For the body does not consist of one part but of many.

As it is, there are many parts, but one body.

There are probably ever so many different languages in the world, each with its own meaning.

for I have a great and promising opportunity here, as well as many opponents.
