that no flesh may glory before Him;

but we speak the hidden wisdom of God in a secret, that God foreordained before the ages to our glory,

so, then, nothing before the time judge ye, till the Lord may come, who will both bring to light the hidden things of the darkness, and will manifest the counsels of the hearts, and then the praise shall come to each from God.

Dare any one of you, having a matter with the other, go to be judged before the unrighteous, and not before the saints?

but brother with brother doth go to be judged, and this before unbelievers!

and if any one of the unbelieving do call you, and ye wish to go, all that is set before you eat, nothing inquiring, because of the conscience;

for each his own supper doth take before in the eating, and one is hungry, and another is drunk;

and so the secrets of his heart become manifest, and so having fallen upon his face, he will bow before God, declaring that God really is among you.
