'Us' in the Bible

For the preaching of the cross is to them that perish foolishness; but unto us which are saved it is the power of God.

But of him are ye in Christ Jesus, who of God is made unto us wisdom, and righteousness, and sanctification, and redemption:

but we speak God’s wisdom in a mystery, the wisdom once hidden [from man, but now revealed to us by God, that wisdom] which God predestined before the ages to our glory [to lift us into the glory of His presence].

But God hath revealed them unto us by his Spirit: for the Spirit searcheth all things, yea, the deep things of God.

Now we have received, not the spirit of the world, but the spirit which is of God; that we might know the things that are freely given to us of God.

We don't speak about these things with words taught us by human wisdom, but with words taught by the Spirit, as we explain spiritual things to spiritual people.

Who is Apollos, anyhow? Or who is Paul? They're merely servants through whom you came to believe, as the Lord gave to each of us his task.

the true character of each individual's work will become manifest. For the day of Christ will disclose it, because that day is soon to come upon us clothed in fire, and as for the quality of every one's work-- the fire is the thing which will test it.

Let a man so account of us, as of the ministers of Christ, and stewards of the mysteries of God.

And these things, brethren, I have in a figure transferred to myself and to Apollos for your sakes; that ye might learn in us not to think of men above that which is written, that no one of you be puffed up for one against another.

Now ye are full, now ye are rich, ye have reigned as kings without us: and I would to God ye did reign, that we also might reign with you.

For I think that God hath set forth us the apostles last, as it were appointed to death: for we are made a spectacle unto the world, and to angels, and to men.

We work [for our living], working hard with our own hands. When we are reviled and verbally abused, we bless. When we are persecuted, we take it patiently and endure.

when people lie about us, we answer in a friendly manner. We are the world's dirt and scum, even now.

Purge out therefore the old leaven, that ye may be a new lump, as ye are unleavened. For even Christ our passover is sacrificed for us:

Therefore let us keep the feast, not with old leaven, neither with the leaven of malice and wickedness; but with the unleavened bread of sincerity and truth.

And God hath both raised up the Lord, and will also raise up us by his own power.

Yet I would that everybody lived as I do; but each of us has his own special gift from God--one in one direction and one in another.

But if the unbelieving depart, let him depart. A brother or a sister is not under bondage in such cases: but God hath called us to peace.

I think therefore that this is good by reason of the distress that is upon us, namely, that it is good for a man to be as he is.

Now about food sacrificed to idols, we know that we all have knowledge [concerning this]. Knowledge [alone] makes [people self-righteously] arrogant, but love [that unselfishly seeks the best for others] builds up and encourages others to grow [in wisdom].

But to us there is but one God, the Father, of whom are all things, and we in him; and one Lord Jesus Christ, by whom are all things, and we by him.

But meat commendeth us not to God: for neither, if we eat, are we the better; neither, if we eat not, are we the worse.

We have the right to take a believing wife with us like the other apostles, the Lord's brothers, and Cephas, don't we?

Or isn’t He really saying it for us? Yes, this is written for us, because he who plows ought to plow in hope, and he who threshes should do so in hope of sharing the crop.

If we have been planting the things of the Spirit for you, does it seem a great thing for you to give us a part in your things of this world?

Now these things became examples for us, so that we will not desire evil things as they did.

Neither let us commit fornication, as some of them committed, and fell in one day three and twenty thousand.

Neither let us tempt Christ, as some of them also tempted, and were destroyed of serpents.

Now these things happened to them as examples, and they were written as a warning to us, on whom the ends of the ages have come.

The cup of blessing which we take, does it not give us a part in the blood of Christ? and is not the broken bread a taking part in the body of Christ?

Because there is one bread, we who are many are one body, for all of us share that one bread.

But if we were true judges of ourselves, punishment would not come on us.

But when we are judged by the Lord, chastisement follows, to save us from being condemned along with the world.

But to each of us a manifestation of the Spirit has been granted for the common good.

But these results are all brought about by one and the same Spirit, who bestows His gifts upon each of us in accordance with His own will.

For by one Spirit all of us Jews and Greeks, slaves and free were baptized into one body and were all privileged to drink from one Spirit.

And to those parts of the body which seem to have less honour we give all the more honour; and to those parts of the body which are a cause of shame to us we give the greater respect;

If I speak with the tongues of men and of angels, but have not love [for others growing out of God’s love for me], then I have become only a noisy gong or a clanging cymbal [just an annoying distraction].

It is not rude; it is not self-seeking, it is not provoked [nor overly sensitive and easily angered]; it does not take into account a wrong endured.

And now there remain: faith [abiding trust in God and His promises], hope [confident expectation of eternal salvation], love [unselfish love for others growing out of God’s love for me], these three [the choicest graces]; but the greatest of these is love.

There are, I suppose, a great many kinds of languages in the world [unknown to us], and none is lacking in meaning.

If after the manner of men I have fought with beasts at Ephesus, what advantageth it me, if the dead rise not? let us eat and drink; for to morrow we die.

And just as we have borne the image of the man of dust, let us also bear the image of the man of heaven.

Let me tell you a secret. Not all of us will die, but all of us will be changed

For this perishable [part of us] must put on the imperishable [nature], and this mortal [part of us that is capable of dying] must put on immortality [which is freedom from death].

But thanks be to God, which giveth us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.

Let everything you do be done in love [motivated and inspired by God’s love for us].

That ye submit yourselves unto such, and to every one that helpeth with us, and laboureth.
