And this is it that I mean: how that commonly among you, one sayeth, "I hold of Paul"; Another, "I hold of Apollos"; the third, "I hold of Cephas"; and the fourth that, "I hold of Christ."

Where is the wise man? Where is the scribe? Where is the searcher of this world? Hath not God made the wisdom of this world foolishness?

That we speak of is wisdom among them that are perfect - not the wisdom of this world, neither of the rulers of this world, which goeth to nought -

If any man build on this foundation, gold, silver, precious stones, timber, hay, or stubble:

Let no man deceive himself. If any man seem wise among you, let him be a fool in this world, that he may be wise.

For the wisdom of this world is foolishness with God. For it is written, "He compasseth the wise in their craftiness."

Let men this wise esteem us, even as the ministers of Christ, and stewards of the secrets of God.

Even unto this day we hunger and thirst, and are naked, and are buffeted with fists, and have no certain dwelling place,

We are evil spoken of, and we pray. We are made as it were the filthiness of the world, the offscouring of all things, even unto this time.

For this cause have I sent unto you Timothy, which is my dear son, and faithful in the Lord, which shall put you in remembrance of my ways which I have in Christ, even as I teach everywhere in all congregations.

And ye swell and have not rather sorrowed, that he which hath done this deed might be put from among you.

For I, verily, as absent in body, even so present in spirit, have determined already - as though I were present - of him that hath done this deed;

And I meant not at all of the fornicators of this world, either of the covetous, or of extortioners, either of the idolaters - for then must ye needs have gone out of the world -

This I say to your shame. Is there utterly no wise man among you? What, not one at all? That can judge between brother and brother?

This I say of favour, not of commandment.

For I would that all men were as I myself am: but every man hath his proper gift of God, one after this manner, another after that.

This say I, brethren: the time is short. It remaineth that they which have wives, be as though they had none:

And they that use this world, be as though they used it not: For the fashion of this world goeth away.

This speak I for your profit, not to tangle you in a snare: but for that which is honest and comely unto you; And that ye may quietly cleave unto the Lord without separation.

But every man hath not knowledge. For some suppose that there is an idol, until this hour, and eat as of a thing offered unto the idol, and so their consciences being yet weak are defiled.

Mine answer to them that ask me, is this:

Either only I and Barnabas have not power this to do?

Either saith he it not altogether for our sakes? For our sakes, no doubt, this is written: that he which eareth should ear in hope: and that he which thresheth in hope, should be partaker of his hope.

If others be partakers of this power over you, wherefore are not we rather? Nevertheless we have not used this power: but suffer all things lest we should hinder the gospel of Christ.

But I have used none of these things. Neither wrote I these things that it should be so done unto me. For it were better for me to die than any man should take this rejoicing from me.

And this I do for the Gospel's sake, that I might have my part thereof.

Brethren I would not that ye should be ignorant of this, how that our fathers were all under a cloud, and all passed through the sea,

But and if any man say unto you, "This is dedicated unto idols," eat not of it, for his sake that showed it, and for hurting of conscience - the earth is the Lord's and all that therein is -

For this cause ought the woman to have power on her head, for the angels' sakes.

This I warn you of, and commend not that ye come together: not after a better manner but after a worse.

Have ye not houses to eat and to drink in? Or else despise ye the congregation of God? And shame them that have not? What shall I say unto you? Shall I praise you? In this praise I you not.

and thanked and brake, and said, "Take ye, and eat ye. This is my body which is broken for you. This do ye in the remembrance of me."

After the same manner he took the cup when supper was done saying, "This cup is the new testament in my blood, this do as oft as ye drink it, in the remembrance of me."

For as often as ye shall eat this bread, and drink this cup, ye shall show the Lord's death, till he come.

Wherefore whosoever shall eat of this bread, or drink of the cup unworthily, shall be guilty of the body and blood of the Lord.

For this cause many are weak and sick among you, and many sleep.

In the law it is written, "With other tongues, and with other lips will I speak unto this people, and yet for all that will they not hear me, saith the Lord."

After that, he was seen of more than five hundred brethren at once: of which many remain unto this day, and many are fallen asleep.

If in this life only we believe on Christ, then are we, of all men, the miserablest.

Awake truly out of sleep, and sin not. For some have not the knowledge of God. I speak this unto your rebuke.

This say I brethren, that flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God. Neither doth corruption inherit uncorruption.

For this corruptible must put on incorruptibility: and this mortal must put on immortality.

When this corruptible hath put on incorruptibility: and this mortal hath put on immortality: then shall be brought to pass the saying that is written, "Death is consumed into victory."

To speak of brother Apollos: I greatly desired him to come unto you with the brethren, but his mind was not at all to come at this time. Howbeit, he will come when he shall have convenient time.
