I, therefore, brethren, when I came unto you, came, not with excellency of discourse or wisdom, declaring unto you the mystery of God;

For, in the law of Moses, it is written - Thou shalt not muzzle an ox when it is treading out the corn: - Is it, for the oxen, God is caring?

For, first of all, - when ye come together in assembly, I hear that divisions among you exist, - and, in part, I believe it;

When, therefore, ye come together into one place, it is not to eat, a supper unto the Lord;

So then, my brethren, - when ye come together for the eating, unto one another, be giving welcome: -

Ye know that, when ye were of the nations, unto the dumb idols, howsoever ye were being led, ye were seduced.

When I was a child, I used to speak as a child, to prefer as child, to reason as a child: now I have become a man, I have laid aside the things of the child!
