«And it is yet far more evident: for that after the similitude of Melchisedec there ariseth another priest, / Who is made, not after the law of a carnal commandment, but after the power of an endless life.»

«For ye are yet carnal: for whereas there is among you envying, and strife, and divisions, are ye not carnal, and walk as men? / For while one saith, I am of Paul; and another, I am of Apollos; are ye not carnal? / Who then is Paul, and who is Apollos, but ministers by whom ye believed, even as the Lord gave to every man? / I have planted, Apollos watered; but God gave the increase.»
«If we have sown unto you spiritual things, is it a great thing if we shall reap your carnal things? / If others be partakers of this power over you, are not we rather? Nevertheless we have not used this power; but suffer all things, lest we should hinder the gospel of Christ.»
«For though we walk in the flesh, we do not war after the flesh: / (For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal, but mighty through God to the pulling down of strong holds;) / Casting down imaginations, and every high thing that exalteth itself against the knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ; / And having in a readiness to revenge all disobedience, when your obedience is fulfilled.»

«The society of merchants can be defined as a society in which things disappear in favor of signs. When a ruling class measures its fortunes, not by the acre of land or the ingot of gold, but by the number of figures corresponding ideally to a certain number of exchange operations, it thereby condemns itself to setting a certain kind of humbug at the center of its experience and its universe. A society founded on signs is, in its essence, an artificial society in which man's carnal truth is handled as something artificial.»
