Famous quotes with Corinthians

  • Faith is for now or ­the present time. Whereas, hope ­is for the future or tomorrow. But, on the other hand, love is meant for all times. Now, that is to say obviously, among all the existing virtues of life. Love stands out to be the greatest and most constant virtue ever scripture reference (1st Corinthians 13 : 13). Moreover, that infers clearly, we've got to love one another for life and never to hate anyone. For, truly love is meant for all times. Yes of course, you should love at all times and not at all some times no matter what happens. Thus, love as long as you live.
    Emeasoba George
  • I do believe that I'm "NOTHING" without "LOVE" do you know why? It's just because, the scripture says so in (1st Corinthians Chapter 13 : 2) Yes, in case you don't know, so says the scripture and that means you are also "NOTHING" without "LOVE". Having known that, you've got to love everyone for life regardless of their colour/race/tribe/religion/language/sex.
    Emeasoba George
  • In the "fall of Adam" we must see, not the personal transgression of man, but simply the law of the dual evolution. Adam, or "Man," begins his career of existences by dwelling in the garden of Eden, "dressed in the celestial garment, which is a garment of heavenly light" (Sohar, ii., 229 b); but when expelled he is "clothed" by God, or the eternal law of Evolution or necessarianism, with coats of skin. But even on this earth of material degradation — in which the divine spark (Soul, a corruscation of the Spirit) was to begin its physical progression in a series of imprisonments from a stone up to a man's body — if he but exercise his WILL and call his deity to his help, man can transcend the powers of the angel. "Know ye not that we shall judge angels?" asks Paul (1 Corinthians, vi. 3). The real man is the Soul (Spirit), teaches the Sohar. "The mystery of the earthly man is after the mystery of the heavenly man... the wise can read the mysteries in the human face" (ii., 76 a).
    Helena Petrovna Blavatsky
  • At least we’ll hear less about corn subsidies and Corinthians II, or is it Two Corinthians? Discuss. No, don’t! Stupid, stupid people. Again, that’s Trump talking, not me. He uses that word to describe nearly everyone not named Donald J. Trump. He’s presented no governing philosophy, no policy details, nothing resembling even-keeled judgment. He’s running a combustible celebrity feud fest, and you love it.
