So neither planter nor waterer counts, but God alone who makes the seed grow.

I do not write this to make you feel ashamed, but to instruct you as beloved children of mine.

What! do you not know that the wicked will not inherit the Realm of God? Make no mistake about it; neither the immoral nor idolaters nor adulterers nor catamites nor sodomites

And you must not be idolaters, like some of them; as it is written, the people sat down to eat and drink, and they rose up to make sport.

But this makes it impossible for you to eat the 'Lord's' supper when you hold your gatherings.

If the foot were to say, 'Because I am not the hand, I do not belong to the body,' that does not make it no part of the body.

If the ear were to say, 'Because I am not the eye, I do not belong to the body,' that does not make it no part of the body.

I may distribute all I possess in charity, I may give up my body to be burnt, but if I have no love, I make nothing of it.

Love is very patient, very kind. Love knows no jealousy; love makes no parade, gives itself no airs,

Make love your aim, and then set your heart on the spiritual gifts ??especially upon prophecy.

Inanimate instruments, such as the flute or the harp, may give a sound, but if no intervals occur in their music, how can one make out the air that is being played either on flute or on harp?

Well, it is the same with yourselves. Unless your tongue utters language that is readily understood, how can people make out what you say? You will be pouring words into the empty air!

So with yourselves; since your heart is set on possessing 'spirits,' make the edification of the church your aim in this desire to excel.

Make no mistake about this: 'bad company is the ruin of good character.'

The victory is ours, thank God! He makes it ours by our Lord Jesus Christ.

if the sum makes it worth my while to go too, they shall accompany me.

I mean to visit you after my tour in Macedonia, for I am going to make a tour through Macedonia.

When Timotheus arrives, see that you make him feel quite at home with you; he carries on the work of the Lord as I do.
