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

For it has been made known to me concerning you, my brethren, by the family of Cloe, that there are contentions among you.

It is generally reported that there is lewdness among you; and such lewdness as is not even mentioned among the Gentiles that a certain one has his father's wife.

I speak to your shame. Is it so, that there is not among you a wise man, not even one, who shall be able to arbitrate between his brethren?

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

With respect, then, to the eating of meats offered to idols, we know that an idol is nothing in the world, and that there is no other God but one.

For though there are those which are called gods, whether in heaven or on earth, (as there are many gods, and many lords,)

yet to us there is one God, the Father, from whom are all things, and we for him; and one Lord, Jesus Christ, by whom are all things, and we by him.

For, in the first place, when you come together in the church, I hear that there are schisms among you, and I partly believe it:

for there must be sects among you, that the approved may be made known among you.

Now there are diversities of gifts, but the same Spirit;

and there are diversities of ministries, but the same Lord;

and there are diversities of operations, but the same God, who makes them all effectual in all.

But now there are many members, but one body.

that there may be no schism in the body; but that the members should have the same anxious care, one for another;

Love never fails; but whether there be gifts of prophecy, they shall have an end; or tongues, they shall cease; or knowledge, it shall have an end.

There are, it may be, so many kinds of voices in the world, and none of them is without meaning.

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?

But if all prophesy, and there comes in an unbeliever, or an unlearned man, he is convinced by all, he is examined by all,

But if there be no interpreter, let him keep silence in the church: but let him speak to himself, and to God.

All flesh is not the same flesh; but there is one flesh of men, another of beasts, another of fishes, and another of birds.

There are also bodies celestial, and bodies terrestrial: but the glory of the celestial is one, and that of the terrestrial is another.

There is one glory of the sun, and another glory of the moon, and another glory of the stars; for star differs from star in glory.

it is sown an animal body, it is raised a spiritual body. There is an animal body, and there is a spiritual body.

On the first day of the week, let each of you lay by him, and treasure up as he has prospered, that there may be no collections when I come.

for a great and effective door is opened to me, and there are many adversaries.

for they have refreshed my spirit, and yours. There fore, acknowledge such.
