I mean this: that each one of you says, I am of Paul, and I of Apollos, and I of Cephas, and I of Christ.

that no one may say that I immersed into my own name.

For when one says, I am of Paul, and another, I of Apollos, are you not carnal?

Know you not that he that is joined to a harlot, is one body? For the two, says the scripture, shall be one flesh.

But this I say by permission, not by commandment:

But I say to the unmarried and to the widows: It would be good for them, if they remain as I myself.

But to the rest, I, and not the Lord, say: If any brother has a wife that believes not, and she is well pleased to dwell with him, let him not put her away.

Now, this I say, brethren, the time is fraught with trials. It remains that those who have wives be as though they had them not;

Do I speak these things as a man? Or does not the law, also, say the same?

or does he say it wholly for our sakes? For our sakes, no doubt, it was written: that he that plows should plow in hope, and that he that thrashes should thrash in hope of partaking.

I speak as to wise men; judge you what I say.

What, then, do I say? That an idol is any thing? or, that what is sacrificed to an idol is any thing?

But I say, that the things which the Gen tiles sacrifice, they sacrifice to demons, and not to God. I do not wish you to be partakers with demons.

But if any one say to you: This is sacrificed to idols; eat not, for the sake of him that pointed it out, and for conscience sake:

conscience, I say, not your own, but that of the other. Why, then, is my liberty judged by the conscience of another?

What, have you not houses in which to eat and drink? or do you despise the church of God, and put those to shame who have nothing to eat? What shall I say to you? Shall I praise you in this? I praise you not.

For this reason, I make known to you, that no one, speaking by the Spirit of God, calls Jesus accursed: and no one can say that Jesus is Lord, but by the Holy Spirit.

If the foot shall say: Because I am not the hand, I am not of the body, is it, for this reason, no part of the body?

And if the ear shall say: Because I am not the eye, I am not of the body, is it, for this reason, no part of the body?

The eye can not say to the hand: I have no need of you; or again, the head to the feet: I have no need of you.

Otherwise, if you bless with the spirit that is given to you, how will he that occupies the place of the unlearned man say Amen, when you give thanks, since he understands not what you say?

In the law it is written: Through men of other tongues and other lips will I speak to this people; and not even thus will they hear me, says the Lord.

If, then, the whole church come together into the same place, and all speak in tongues, and there come in unlearned men, or unbelievers, will they not say that you are mad?

Let your women keep silence in the assemblies; for they ire not permitted to speak; but they must be in subjection, as also says the law.

But if Christ is preached that he rose from the dead, how say some among you, that a resurrection of the dead is impossible?

For he has put all things under his feet. But when the scripture says, that all things are put under him, it is evident that he is excepted, who did put all things under him.

But some one will say: How are the dead raised up? and with what body do they come?

But this I say, brethren, that flesh and blood can not inherit the kingdom of God, nor does corruption inherit incorruption.
