What do you want? Shall I come to you with a rod, or with love and a spirit of gentleness?

But I want you to be free from care. The unmarried person cares for the things of the Lord, how he may please the Lord.

For I do not want you to be ignorant, brothers, that our fathers were all under the cloud and all went through the sea,

[No], but that [the things] which they sacrifice, they sacrifice to demons and not to God, and I do not want you to become sharers with demons.

If any of the unbelievers invites you, and you want to go, eat everything that is set before you, {asking no questions} for the sake of the conscience.

But I want you to know that Christ is the head of every man, and the man [is the] head of the woman, and [the] head of Christ [is] God.

Now concerning spiritual [gifts], brothers, I do not want you to be ignorant.

Now I want you all to speak with tongues, but even more that you may prophesy. The one who prophesies [is] greater than the one who speaks with tongues, unless he interprets, in order that the church may receive edification.

But if they want to learn something, let them ask their own husbands at home, for it is shameful for a woman to speak in church.

For I do not want to see you now in passing, for I hope to remain some time with you, if the Lord allows [it].
