'Us' in the Bible

For the message about the cross is foolishness to those who are perishing, but to us who are being saved it is the power of God.

He is the reason you have a relationship with Christ Jesus, who became for us wisdom from God, and righteousness and sanctification and redemption,

God has revealed these to us by the Spirit. For the Spirit searches all things, even the deep things of God.

Now we have not received the spirit of the world, but the Spirit who is from God, so that we may know the things that are freely given to us by God.

And we speak about these things, not with words taught us by human wisdom, but with those taught by the Spirit, explaining spiritual things to spiritual people.

What is Apollos, really? Or what is Paul? Servants through whom you came to believe, and each of us in the ministry the Lord gave us.

One should think about us this way -- as servants of Christ and stewards of the mysteries of God.

I have applied these things to myself and Apollos because of you, brothers and sisters, so that through us you may learn "not to go beyond what is written," so that none of you will be puffed up in favor of the one against the other.

Already you are satisfied! Already you are rich! You have become kings without us! I wish you had become kings so that we could reign with you!

For, I think, God has exhibited us apostles last of all, as men condemned to die, because we have become a spectacle to the world, both to angels and to people.

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

So then, let us celebrate the festival, not with the old yeast, the yeast of vice and evil, but with the bread without yeast, the bread of sincerity and truth.

Now God indeed raised the Lord and he will raise us by his power.

yet for us there is one God, the Father, from whom are all things and for whom we live, and one Lord, Jesus Christ, through whom are all things and through whom we live.

Now food will not bring us close to God. We are no worse if we do not eat and no better if we do.

Or is he not surely speaking for our benefit? It was written for us, because the one plowing and threshing ought to work in hope of enjoying the harvest.

These things happened as examples for us, so that we will not crave evil things as they did.

And let us not be immoral, as some of them were, and twenty-three thousand died in a single day.

And let us not put Christ to the test, as some of them did, and were destroyed by snakes.

If from a human point of view I fought with wild beasts at Ephesus, what did it benefit me? If the dead are not raised, let us eat and drink, for tomorrow 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.

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