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.

¹⁸ The one who speaks from himself ^(A)seeks his own glory; but He who is seeking the glory of the One who sent Him, He is true, and there is no unrighteousness in Him.

¹⁶ Let ^(A)the word of ^[a]Christ richly dwell within you, ^[b]with all wisdom ^(B)teaching and admonishing ^[c]one another ^(C)with psalms, hymns, and spiritual songs, ^(D)singing with thankfulness in your hearts to God.

³ what we have ^(A)seen and ^(B)heard we proclaim to you also, so that you too may have fellowship with us; and indeed our ^(C)fellowship is with the Father, and with His Son Jesus Christ.

²¹ for ^(A)no prophecy was ever made by an act of human will, but men ^(B)moved by the Holy Spirit spoke from God.

⁴ And they were all ^(A)filled with the Holy Spirit and began to ^(B)speak with different ^[a]tongues, as the Spirit was giving them the ability to speak out.
