The right way for a man to think of us is as Christ's servants, and managers authorized to distribute the secret truths of God.

Do you not know that your bodies are parts of Christ's body? Am I then to take away from Christ parts of his body, and make them parts of a prostitute's? Never!

To other people I would say, though not as Christ's command, if a Christian has a wife who is not a believer, and she is willing to live with him, he must not divorce her,

You must follow my example in this, as I am following Christ's.

But I want you to understand that Christ is the head of every man, while a woman's head is her husband, and Christ's head is God.

Now you are Christ's body, and individually parts of it.

But each in his own turn; Christ first, and then at Christ's coming those who belong to him.

for everything is to be reduced to subjection and put under Christ's feet. But when it says that everything is subject to him, he is evidently excepted who reduced it all to subjection to him.
