¹³ We also speak these things, ^(A)not in words taught by human wisdom, but in those taught by the Spirit, ^[a]combining spiritual thoughts with spiritual words.

¹⁷ For we are not like the many, ^[a](A)peddling the word of God, but ^(B)as from sincerity, but as from God, we speak in Christ ^(C)in the sight of God.

^11 (A)Whoever speaks is to do so as one who is speaking ^(B)actual words of God; whoever serves is to do so as one who is serving ^[a](C)by the strength which God supplies; so that ^(D)in all things God may be glorified through Jesus Christ, ^(E)to whom belongs the glory and ^[b]dominion forever and ever. Amen.
