Beyond What Is Written

Beyond What Is Written 1Co 4:1  This, then, is how you ought to regard us: as servants of Christ and as those entrusted with the mysteries God has revealed.  1 Cor 4:6 Now, brothers and sisters, I have applied these things to myself and Apollos for your benefit, so that you may learn from us the meaning of the saying, “Do not go beyond what is written.” Then you will not be puffed up in being a follower of one of us over against the other.   1 Cor 4:7 For who makes you different from anyone else? What do you have that you did not receive? And if you did receive it, why do you boast as though you did not? Gen 1:27  So God created mankind in his own image, in the image of God he created them; male and female he created them.  Psa 139:13  For you created my inmost being; you knit me together in my mother's womb. 14  I praise you because I am fear fully and wonderfully made; your works are wonderful, I know that full well. 15  My frame was not hidden from you when I was made in the secret place, when I was woven together in the depths of the earth. 16  Your eyes saw my unformed body; all the days ordained for me were written in your book before one of them came to be.   Rom 12:3  For by the grace given me I say to every one of you: Do not think of yourself more highly than you ought, but rather think of yourself with sober judgment, in accordance with the faith God has distributed to each of you.

Col 2:6  So then, just as you received Christ Jesus as Lord, continue to live your lives in him, 7  rooted and built up in him, strengthened in the faith as you were taught, and overflowing with thankfulness. 1 Cor 4:8 Already you have all you want! Already you have become rich! You have be gun to reign—and that without us! How I wish that you really had be gun to reign so that we also might reign with you!  1Co 4:9  For it seems to me that God has put us apostles on display at the end of the procession, like those condemned to die in the arena. We have been made a spectacle to the whole universe, to angels as well as to human beings.  10  We are fools for Christ, but you are so wise in Christ! We are weak, but you are strong! You are honored, we are dishonored!   1 Cor 4:11  To this very hour we go hungry and thirsty, we are in rags, we are brutally treated, we are home less.  12  We work hard with our own hands. When we are cursed, we bless; when we are persecuted, we endure it; 13  when we are slandered, we answer kindly. We have become the scum of the earth, the garbage of the world—right up to this moment.
