5. 3. Ye are in Christ Jesus, who of God is made unto us wisdom, and justice, and sanctification, and redemption; according as it is written, He that glorieth, let him glory in the Lord (1 Corinthians 1:30-31).

I determined not to know anything among you, save Jesus Christ (1 Corinthians 2:2).

For other foundation can no man lay more than that which is laid, which is Jesus Christ. Now if any man build upon this foundation, gold, silver, precious stones, wood, hay, stubble; the day shall declare it because it shall be revealed by fire (1 Corinthians 3:11-12 seq.).

All are yours; but ye are Christ's; but Christ is God's (1 Corinthians 3:22-23).

We know that there is no other God but one. For though there be that are called gods, whether in heaven or in earth, as there be gods many and lords many, yet to us there is one God, the Father, of whom are all things, and we in Him; and one Lord Jesus Christ, by whom are all things, and we by Him (1 Corinthians 8:4-6). They drank from the spiritual Rock, the Rock was Christ (1 Corinthians 10:4).

The head of every man is Christ, the head of Christ is God (1 Corinthians 11:3).

As often as ye eat this bread, and drink this cup, proclaim ye the Lord's death till He come (1 Corinthians 11:26).

No one can say that Jesus is the Lord but in the Holy Spirit (1 Corinthians 12:3).

Ye are the body of Christ, and members in part (1 Corinthians 12:27).

Christ was seen by many after the resurrection, and in addition to the apostles by five hundred (1 Corinthians 15:4-7).

Christ is the image of God (2 Corinthians 4:4).

God who gave the light in our hearts, to the enlightening of the knowledge of the glory of God which is in the face of Jesus Christ (2 Corinthians 4:6).

God hath reconciled us to Himself by Jesus Christ (2 Corinthians 5:18-21).

Ye know not your own selves, that Jesus Christ is in you (2 Corinthians 13:5).

Isaiah 23

1 The burden of Tyre. Howl, ye ships of Tarshish; for it is laid waste, so that there is no house, no entering in: from the land of Chittim it is revealed to them.

2 Be still, ye inhabitants of the isle; thou whom the merchants of Zidon, that pass over the sea, have replenished.

3 And by great waters the seed of Sihor, the harvest of the river, is her revenue; and she is a mart of nations.

4 Be thou ashamed, O Zidon: for the sea hath spoken, even the strength of the sea, saying, I travail not, nor bring forth children, neither do I nourish up young men, nor bring up virgins.

5 As at the report concerning Egypt, so shall they be sorely pained at the report of Tyre.

6 Pass ye over to Tarshish; howl, ye inhabitants of the isle.

7 Is this your joyous city, whose antiquity is of ancient days? her own feet shall carry her afar off to sojourn.

8 Who hath taken this counsel against Tyre, the crowning city, whose merchants are princes, whose traffickers are the honourable of the earth?

9 The LORD of hosts hath purposed it, to stain the pride of all glory, and to bring into contempt all the honourable of the earth.

10 Pass through thy land as a river, O daughter of Tarshish: there is no more strength.

11 He stretched out his hand over the sea, he shook the kingdoms: the LORD hath given a commandment against the merchant city, to destroy the strong holds thereof.

12 And he said, Thou shalt no more rejoice, O thou oppressed virgin, daughter of Zidon: arise, pass over to Chittim; there also shalt thou have no rest.

13 Behold the land of the Chaldeans; this people was not, till the Assyrian founded it for them that dwell in the wilderness: they set up the towers thereof, they raised up the palaces thereof; and he brought it to ruin.

14 Howl, ye ships of Tarshish: for your strength is laid waste.

15 And it shall come to pass in that day, that Tyre shall be forgotten seventy years, according to the days of one king: after the end of seventy years shall Tyre sing as an harlot.

16 Take an harp, go about the city, thou harlot that hast been forgotten; make sweet melody, sing many songs, that thou mayest be remembered.

17 And it shall come to pass after the end of seventy years, that the LORD will visit Tyre, and she shall turn to her hire, and shall commit fornication with all the kingdoms of the world upon the face of the earth.

18 And her merchandise and her hire shall be holiness to the LORD: it shall not be treasured nor laid up; for her merchandise shall be for them that dwell before the LORD, to eat sufficiently, and for durable clothing.
