'Us' in the Bible

For the message about the cross is nonsense to those who are being destroyed, but it is God's power to us who are being saved.

It is because of God that you are in union with the Messiah Jesus, who for us has become wisdom from God, as well as our righteousness, sanctification, and redemption.

But God has revealed those things to us by his Spirit. For the Spirit searches everything, even the deep things of God.

Now, we have not received the spirit of the world but the Spirit who comes from God, so that we can understand the things that were freely given to us by 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.

Think of us as servants of the Messiah and as servant managers entrusted with God's secrets.

Brothers, I have applied all this to Apollos and myself for your benefit, so that you may learn from us not to go beyond what the Scriptures say. Then you will stop boasting about one person at the expense of another.

You already have all you want! You have already become rich! You have become kings without us! I wish you really were kings so that we could be kings with you!

For it seems to me that God has put us apostles on display in last place, like men condemned to death. We have become a spectacle for the world, for angels, and for people to stare at.

God raised the Lord, and by his power he will also raise us.

yet for us there is only one God, the Father, from whom everything came into being and for whom we live. And there is only one Lord, Jesus the Messiah, through whom everything came into being and through whom we live.

However, food will not bring us closer to God. We are no worse off if we do not eat food that has been offered to an idol, and no better off if we do.

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

Now their experiences serve as examples for us so that we won't set our hearts on evil as they did.

These things happened to them to serve as an example, and they were written down as a warning for us in whom the culmination of the ages has been attained.

Because there is one loaf, we who are many are one body, because all of us eat from the same loaf.

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.

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

But thanks be to God, who gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus the Messiah!
