which no one of the rulers of this age did know, for if they had known, the Lord of the glory they would not have crucified;

and the natural man doth not receive the things of the Spirit of God, for to him they are foolishness, and he is not able to know them, because spiritually they are discerned;

and again, 'The Lord doth know the reasonings of the wise, that they are vain.'

have ye not known that he who is joined to the harlot is one body? 'for they shall be -- saith He -- the two for one flesh.'

And I say to the unmarried and to the widows: it is good for them if they may remain even as I am;

and if they have not continence -- let them marry, for it is better to marry than to burn;

for the unbelieving husband hath been sanctified in the wife, and the unbelieving wife hath been sanctified in the husband; otherwise your children are unclean, but now they are holy.

and every one who is striving, is in all things temperate; these, indeed, then, that a corruptible crown they may receive, but we an incorruptible;

and if they wish to learn anything, at home their own husbands let them question, for it is a shame to women to speak in an assembly.
