Now I exhort you, brethren, by the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that ye all speak the same thing, and that there be no schisms among you, but that ye be perfectly joined together, in the same mind and in the same judgment.

Or were ye baptized into the name of Paul? I thank God, that I baptized none of you but Crispus and Caius:

I know not that I baptized any other. For Christ did not send me to baptize, but to preach the gospel; but not with wisdom of words, lest the cross of Christ should be made of none effect.

For the doctrine of the cross is indeed to them that perish foolishness; but to us who are saved, it is the power of God.

But to them that are called, both Jews and Greeks, Christ the power of God and the wisdom of God.

But God hath chosen the foolish things of the world, to shame the wise, and the weak things of the world, to shame the things that are mighty:

But of him are ye in Christ Jesus, who is made by God unto us wisdom,

And my speech and my preaching was not with the persuasive words of human wisdom, but with the demonstration of the Spirit and of power.

That your faith might not stand in the wisdom of men, but in the power of God.

Yet we speak wisdom among them that are perfect: but not the wisdom of this world, nor of the rulers of this world, that come to nought: But we speak the hidden wisdom of God in a mystery,

But as it is written, Eye hath not seen, nor hath ear heard, neither hath it entered into the heart of man, what things God hath prepared for them that love him.

But God hath revealed them to us by his Spirit; for the Spirit searcheth all things, even the deep things of God.

For what man knoweth the things of a man, but the spirit of a man which is in him? So the things of God also knoweth no one, but the Spirit of God.

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

Which also we speak, not in words taught by human wisdom, but in those taught by the Holy Spirit, explaining spiritual things by spiritual words.

But the natural man receiveth not the things of the Spirit; for they are foolishness to him: neither can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned.

But the spiritual man discerneth all things, while he himself is discerned by no man.

For who hath known the mind of the Lord, that he may instruct him? But we have the mind of Christ.

And I, brethren, could not speak to you as unto spiritual, but as unto carnal, as unto babes in Christ.

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 planted, Apollos watered; but God gave the increase.

So then, neither is he that planteth any thing, nor he that watereth; but God that giveth the increase.

But he that planteth and he that watereth are one; and every one shall receive his own reward, according to his own labour.

According to the grace of God given to me, as a wise master-builder I have laid the foundation, and another buildeth thereon; but let every one take heed how he buildeth thereon.

If any one's work shall be burnt, he shall suffer loss, but himself shall be saved, yet so as through the fire.

But it is a very small thing with me, to be judged by you or by any man's judgment; yea, I judge not myself.

For I am not conscious to myself of any thing, yet am I not hereby justified; but he that judgeth me is the Lord.

For who maketh thee to differ from another? And what hast thou which thou hast not received? But if thou hast received it, why dost thou boast, as if thou hadst not received it?

We are fools for Christ's sake; but ye are wise in Christ: we are weak; but ye are strong: ye are honourable; but we are despised.

I do not write these things to shame you, but as my beloved children I warn you.

But I will come to you shortly, if the Lord permit, and will know, not the speech of them who are puffed up, but the power.

For the kingdom of God is not in speech, but in power.

For I verily as absent in body, but present in spirit, have already,

Therefore let us keep the feast; not with the old leaven, nor with the leaven of wickedness and malignity, but with the unleavened bread of sincerity and truth.

But not altogether with the lewd persons of this world, or the covetous, or the rapacious, or idolaters, for then ye must go out of the world.

But I have now written unto you, if any who is named a brother, be a lewd person, or covetous, or an idolater, or a railer, or a drunkard, or rapacious, not to converse with such an one, no, not to eat with him.

(But them that are without God will judge:) And ye will take away from among yourselves that wicked person.

But brother goeth to law with brother, and this before the infidels.

And such were some of you: but ye are washed, but ye are sanctified, but ye are justified in the name of the Lord Jesus, and by the Spirit of our God.

All things are lawful for me; but all things are not expedient: all things are lawful for me; but I will not be brought under the power of any.

Meats are for the belly, and the belly for meats; yet God will destroy both it and them. But the body is not for fornication, but for the Lord, and the Lord for the body.

But he that is joined to the Lord is one Spirit.

Flee fornication. Every sin that a man doth, is without the body; but he that committeth fornication, sinneth against his own body.

The wife hath not power over her own body, but the husband; and in like manner the husband also hath not power over his own body, but the wife.

But I say this by way of advice, not by way of precept. For I would that all men were even as myself:

but every one hath his proper gift from God, one after this manner, another after that.

But to the unmarried and the widows I say, It is good for them, if they remain even as I.

But if they have not power over themselves, let them marry; for it is better to marry than to burn.

The married I command, yet not I, but the Lord, Let not the wife depart from her husband.

But if she depart, let her remain unmarried, or be reconciled to her husband.

For the unbelieving husband hath been sanctified by the wife; and the unbelieving wife hath been sanctified by the husband. Else were your children unclean; but now they are holy.

But if the unbeliever will depart, let him depart: a brother or a sister is not inslaved in such cases: but God hath called us to peace.

For how knowest thou, O wife, but thou mayst save thy husband? or how knowest thou, O husband, but thou mayst save thy wife?

But as God hath distributed to every one, as the Lord hath called every one, so let him walk.

Circumcision is nothing, and uncircumcision is nothing, but keeping the commandments of God.

Art thou called being a servant? care not for it: but if thou canst be made free, use it rather.

Now concerning virgins, I have no commandment from the Lord: but I give my judgment, as one who hath obtained mercy of the Lord to be faithful.

Yet if thou dost marry, thou hast not sinned; and if a virgin marry, she hath not sinned. Nevertheless such will have trouble in the flesh; but I spare you.

But this I say, brethren, the time is short: it remaineth, that even they that have wives, be as if they had none: And they that weep, as if they wept not;

But the married careth for the things of the world, how he may please his wife.

There is a difference also between a wife and a virgin. The unmarried woman careth for the things of the Lord, that she may be holy both in body and spirit: but the married careth for the things of the world, how she may please her husband.

And this I say for your own profit, not that I may cast a snare upon you, but that ye may decently wait upon the Lord without distraction.

But if any think that he acteth indecently toward his virgin, if she be above age, and need so require, let him do what he will, he sinneth not: let them marry.

Nevertheless, he that standeth stedfast in his heart, having no necessity, but having power over his own will, and hath determined this in his heart to keep his virgin, doth well.

So then he also that giveth in marriage, doth well; but he that giveth not in marriage, doth better.

The wife is bound as long as her husband liveth; but if her husband be dead, she is at liberty to marry whom she will; only in the Lord.

But she is happier, if she continue as she is, in my judgment; and I think that I also have the Spirit of God.

Knowledge puffeth up, but love edifieth. And if any one think he knoweth any thing, he knoweth nothing yet as he ought to know.

But if any one love God, he is known by him. I say, as to the eating of things sacrificed to idols,

we know that an idol is nothing in the world, and that there is no God but one.

For though there be that are called gods, whether in heaven or on earth, (as there are many gods and many lords) Yet to us there is but one God,

But there is not in all men this knowledge; for some do even until now, with consciousness of the idol, eat it as sacrificed to the idol, and their conscience, being weak, is defiled.

But meat commendeth us not to God; for neither if we eat, are we the better, nor if we eat not, are we the worse.

But take heed, lest by any means this your liberty become a stumbling-block to the weak.

But when ye sin thus against your brethren, and wound their weak conscience, ye sin against Christ.

If others partake of this power over you, do not we rather? Yet we have not used this power: but we suffer all things, lest we should hinder the gospel of Christ.

But I have used none of these things; nor have I written thus, that it might be done so unto me: for it were better for me to die, than that any man should make this my glorying void.

If indeed I do this willingly, I have a reward; but if unwillingly, yet a dispensation is intrusted to me.

To them that are without the law, as without the law, (being not without the law to God, but under the law to Christ) that I might gain them that are without the law.

Know ye not, that they who run in the race, all run, but one receiveth the prize? so run that ye may obtain.

And every one that contendeth, is temperate in all things: and they indeed, to obtain a corruptible crown, but we an incorruptible.

But I keep under my body, and bring it into subjection, lest by any means, after having preached to others, I myself should become a reprobate.

There hath no temptation taken you, but such as is common to man; and God is faithful, who will not suffer you to be tempted above your ability, but will with the temptation make also a way to escape, that ye may be able to bear it.

But that what the heathens sacrifice, they sacrifice to devils, and not to God. Now I would not that ye should be partakers with devils.

All things are lawful for me; but all things are not expedient; all things are lawful for me; but all things edify not.

Let no one seek his own, but every one another's welfare.

But if any one say to you, This hath been sacrificed to an idol, eat not, for his sake that shewed thee, and for conscience sake.

Conscience I say, not thy own, but that of the other: for why is my liberty judged by another's conscience?

Even as I please all men in all things, not seeking my own profit, but that of many that they may be saved.

But I would have you know, that the head of the woman is the man, and the head of every man is Christ, and the head of Christ is God.

But every woman praying or prophesying with her head uncovered, dishonoureth her head; for it is the same as if she were shaved.

Therefore if a woman is not covered, let her also be shaved: but if it be shameful, for a woman to have her hair shaved off, or cut short, let her be covered.

A man indeed ought not to have his head covered, being the image and glory of God; but the woman is the glory of the man.

For the man is not of the woman, but the woman of the man.

Neither was the man created for the sake of the woman, but the woman for the sake of the man.

And as the woman was of the man, so also the man is by the woman; but all things are of God.

But if any one be contentious, we have no such custom, neither the churches of God.

But in this which I declare, I praise you not, that ye come together not for the better, but for the worse.

But when we are judged, we are chastened by the Lord, that we may not be condemned with the world.

Therefore I give you to know, that as no one speaking by the Spirit of God, calleth Jesus accursed; so no one can say, Jesus is the Lord, but by the Holy Ghost.
