Key Passages

1 Corinthians 14:5BSB

1 Corinthians 15:2BSB

By this gospel you are saved, if you hold firmly to the word I preached to you. Otherwise, you have believed in vain.

1 Corinthians 15:27BSB

For “God has put everything under His feet.” Now when it says that everything has been put under Him, this clearly does not include the One who put everything under Him.

1 Corinthians 6:18BSB
