Galatians 1:6-12
I am amazed that you are so quickly turning away from him who called you by the grace of Christ and are turning to a different gospel—not that there is another gospel, but there are some who are troubling you and want to distort the gospel of Christ.But even if we or an angel from heaven should preach to you a gospel contrary to what we have preached to you, a curse be on him!As we have said before, I now say again: If anyone is preaching to you a gospel contrary to what you received, a curse be on him!For am I now trying to persuade people, or God? Or am I striving to please people? If I were still trying to please people, I would not be a servant of Christ.For I want you to know, brothers and sisters, that the gospel preached by me is not of human origin.For I did not receive it from a human source and I was not taught it, but it came by a revelation of Jesus Christ.

1 Corinthians 15 3-1 Corinthians 15 11
For I passed on to you as most important what I also received: that Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures,that he was buried, that he was raised on the third day according to the Scriptures,and that he appeared to Cephas, then to the Twelve.Then he appeared to over five hundred brothers and sisters at one time; most of them are still alive, but some have fallen asleep.Then he appeared to James, then to all the apostles.Last of all, as to one born at the wrong time, he also appeared to me.For I am the least of the apostles, not worthy to be called an apostle, because I persecuted the church of God.But by the grace of God I am what I am, and his grace toward me was not in vain. On the contrary, I worked harder than any of them, yet not I, but the grace of God that was with me.Whether, then, it is I or they, so we proclaim and so you have believed.

Mark 4:16-20
And others are like seed sown on rocky ground. When they hear the word, immediately they receive it with joy.But they have no root; they are short-lived. When distress or persecution comes because of the word, they immediately fall away.Others are like seed sown among thorns; these are the ones who hear the word,but the worries of this age, the deceitfulness of wealth, and the desires for other things enter in and choke the word, and it becomes unfruitful.And those like seed sown on good ground hear the word, welcome it, and produce fruit thirty, sixty, and a hundred times what was sown.”

1 Corinthians 2 2-1 Corinthians 2 7
I decided to know nothing among you except Jesus Christ and him crucified.I came to you in weakness, in fear, and in much trembling.My speech and my preaching were not with persuasive words of wisdom but with a demonstration of the Spirit’s power,so that your faith might not be based on human wisdom but on God’s power.We do, however, speak a wisdom among the mature, but not a wisdom of this age, or of the rulers of this age, who are coming to nothing.On the contrary, we speak God’s hidden wisdom in a mystery, a wisdom God predestined before the ages for our glory.

I always thank my God for you because of the grace of God given to you in Christ Jesus,that you were enriched in him in every way, in all speech and all knowledge.In this way, the testimony about Christ was confirmed among you,so that you do not lack any spiritual gift as you eagerly wait for the revelation of our Lord Jesus Christ.He will also strengthen you to the end, so that you will be blameless in the day of our Lord Jesus Christ.
