Laid Foundation

5For in him you have been enriched in every way—in all your speaking and in all your knowledge— 6because our testimony about Christ was confirmed in you. 7Therefore you do not lack any spiritual gift as you eagerly wait for our Lord Jesus Christ to be revealed. 8He will keep you strong to the end, so that you will be blameless on the day of our Lord Jesus Christ. 9God, who has called you into fellowship with his Son Jesus Christ our Lord, is faithful. 1 Cor 1

2I gave you milk, not solid food, for you were not yet ready for it. ....6I planted the seed, Apollos watered it, but God made it grow. ....we are God's fellow workers; you are God's field, God's building.
10By the grace God has given me, I laid a foundation as an expert builder, and someone else is building on it. But each one should be careful how he builds. 11For no one can lay any foundation other than the one already laid, which is Jesus Christ. .... 16Don't you know that you yourselves are God's temple and that God's Spirit lives in you? ...no more boasting about men! All things are yours, 22whether Paul or Apollos or Cephas[c] or the world or life or death or the present or the future—all are yours, 23and you are of Christ, and Christ is of God. 1 Cor 3

i Cor 4 for in Christ Jesus I became your father through the gospel. 16Therefore I urge you to imitate me. 17For this reason I am sending to you Timothy, my son whom I love, who is faithful in the Lord. He will remind you of my way of life in Christ Jesus, which agrees with what I teach everywhere in every church.

2I praise you for remembering me in everything and for holding to the teachings,[a] just as I passed them on to you. 1 Cor 11:2

2 Cor 1: 24Not that we lord it over your faith, but we work with you for your joy, because it is by faith you stand firm.

Ephesus: 1 Cor 16 8But I will stay on at Ephesus until Pentecost, 9because a great door for effective work has opened to me, and there are many who oppose me.
