because the foolishness of God is wiser than men, and the weakness of God is stronger than men;

and the natural man doth not receive the things of the Spirit of God, for to him they are foolishness, and he is not able to know them, because spiritually they are discerned;

of each the work shall become manifest, for the day shall declare it, because in fire it is revealed, and the work of each, what kind it is, the fire shall prove;

And these things, brethren, I did transfer to myself and to Apollos because of you, that in us ye may learn not to think above that which hath been written, that ye may not be puffed up one for one against the other,

for I think that God did set forth us the apostles last -- as appointed to death, because a spectacle we became to the world, and messengers, and men;

we are fools because of Christ, and ye wise in Christ; we are ailing, and ye strong; ye glorious, and we dishonoured;

because of this I sent to you Timotheus, who is my child, beloved and faithful in the Lord, who shall remind you of my ways in Christ, according as everywhere in every assembly I teach.

and because of the whoredom let each man have his own wife, and let each woman have her proper husband;

Defraud not one another, except by consent for a time, that ye may be free for fasting and prayer, and again may come together, that the Adversary may not tempt you because of your incontinence;

I suppose, therefore, this to be good because of the present necessity, that it is good for a man that the matter be thus: --

and the brother who is infirm shall perish by thy knowledge, because of whom Christ died?

or because of us by all means doth He say it? yes, because of us it was written, because in hope ought the plower to plow, and he who is treading ought of his hope to partake in hope.

And this I do because of the good news, that a fellow-partaker of it I may become;

because one bread, one body, are we the many -- for we all of the one bread do partake.

Whatever in the meat-market is sold eat ye, not inquiring, because of the conscience,

and if any one of the unbelieving do call you, and ye wish to go, all that is set before you eat, nothing inquiring, because of the conscience;

and if any one may say to you, 'This is a thing sacrificed to an idol,' -- do not eat, because of that one who shewed it, and of the conscience, for the Lord's is the earth and its fulness:

for a man also was not created because of the woman, but a woman because of the man;

because of this the woman ought to have a token of authority upon the head, because of the messengers;

and a woman, if she have long hair, a glory it is to her, because the hair instead of a covering hath been given to her;

And this declaring, I give no praise, because not for the better, but for the worse ye come together;

Because of this, among you many are weak and sickly, and sleep do many;

if the foot may say, 'Because I am not a hand, I am not of the body;' it is not, because of this, not of the body;

and if the ear may say, 'Because I am not an eye, I am not of the body;' it is not, because of this, not of the body?

for I am the least of the apostles, who am not worthy to be called an apostle, because I did persecute the assembly of God,

and we also are found false witnesses of God, because we did testify of God that He raised up the Christ, whom He did not raise if then dead persons do not rise;

and I rejoice over the presence of Stephanas, and Fortunatus, and Achaicus, because the lack of you did these fill up;
