1 Corinthians 9:3

"Examine yourselves, whether ye be in the faith; prove your own selves. Know ye not your own selves, how that Jesus Christ is in you, except ye be reprobates?"

"If any man think himself to be a prophet, or spiritual, let him acknowledge that the things that I write unto you are the commandments of the Lord."

"But the other of love, knowing that I am set for the defence of the gospel."

"Since ye seek a proof of Christ speaking in me, which to you-ward is not weak, but is mighty in you."

"Men, brethren, and fathers, hear ye my defence which I make now unto you."

"To whom I answered, It is not the manner of the Romans to deliver any man to die, before that he which is accused have the accusers face to face, and have licence to answer for himself concerning the crime laid against him."

"At my first answer no man stood with me, but all men forsook me: I pray God that it may not be laid to their charge."

"Therefore I write these things being absent, lest being present I should use sharpness, according to the power which the Lord hath given me to edification, and not to destruction."
