Now I exhort you, brethren, by the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that ye all say the same thing, and that there be not among you divisions; but that ye be perfectly united in the same mind and in the same opinion.

For it has been shewn to me concerning you, my brethren, by those of the house of Chloe, that there are strifes among you.

For consider your calling, brethren, that there are not many wise according to flesh, not many powerful, not many high-born.

for ye are yet carnal. For whereas there are among you emulation and strife, are ye not carnal, and walk according to man?

It is universally reported that there is fornication among you, and such fornication as is not even among the nations, so that one should have his father's wife.

I speak to you to put you to shame. Thus there is not a wise person among you, not even one, who shall be able to decide between his brethren!

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

concerning then the eating of things sacrificed to idols, we know that an idol is nothing in the world, and that there is no other God save one.

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

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

For first, when ye come together in assembly, I hear there exist divisions among you, and I partly give credit to it.

For there must also be sects among you, that the approved may become manifest among you.

But there are distinctions of gifts, but the same Spirit;

and there are distinctions of services, and the same Lord;

and there are distinctions of operations, but the same God who operates all things in all.

that there might be no division in the body, but that the members might have the same concern one for another.

There are, it may be, so many kinds of voices in the world, and none of undistinguishable sound.

but if there be no interpreter, let him be silent in the assembly, and let him speak to himself and to God.

But if there be a revelation to another sitting there, let the first be silent.

Now if Christ is preached that he is raised from among the dead, how say some among you that there is not a resurrection of those that are dead?

But if there is not a resurrection of those that are dead, neither is Christ raised:

And there are heavenly bodies, and earthly bodies: but different is the glory of the heavenly, different that of the earthly:

It is sown a natural body, it is raised a spiritual body: if there is a natural body, there is also a spiritual one.

On the first of the week let each of you put by at home, laying up in whatever degree he may have prospered, that there may be no collections when I come.
