"For the wisdom of this age is foolishness with God. As it is written, 'He catches the wise in their craftiness.'"

"For it is God who works in you to will and to act in order to fulfill his good purpose."

"For we brought nothing into the world, and we can take nothing out of it."

"For I consider that the sufferings of this present time are not worth comparing with the glory that is to be revealed to us."
