to the church of God being in Corinth, to the sanctified in Christ Jesus, to the called saints, along with all who call upon the name of our Lord Jesus Christ in every place, theirs and ours:

and we toil working with our own hands: being reviled, we bless; being persecuted, we endure it;

being scandalized, we entreat: we have become as the offscourings of the world, the refuse of all things until now.

For indeed I, being absent in body but present in spirit, have already judged the one having thus done this, as being present,

in the name of the Lord Jesus, you and my spirit being assembled, with the power of the Lord Jesus,

Have you been called being a slave? let it not be a care to you: but if indeed you are able to become free, use it in preference.

For the one having been called in the Lord, being a slave, is the Lord's freeman: likewise the one having been called, while free, is the slave of Christ.

But there is not knowledge in all people: but some, with the conscience of the idol even until now, eat as if it was sacrificed to the idol; and their conscience being weak is polluted.

For if any one may see you having knowledge sitting at the table in the idol temple, will not the conscience of him, being weak, be encouraged to eat things sacrificed to the idols?

For being free from all, I rendered myself servant to all, that I may gain the more.

And to the Jews I became as a Jew, that I may gain the Jews; to those under the law, as under the law, not myself being under law, that I may gain those under the law;

to those without law, I became as without law, not being without the law of God, but under the law of Christ, that I may gain those without law.

Because we, being many, are one bread, one body: for we all partake of one bread.

But every woman praying or prophesying with her head uncovered dishonors her head: for that is one and the same to her being shaven.

For a man ought not to cover his head, being the image and glory of God; but the woman is the glory of the man.

But being judged, by the Lord we are chastised, in order that we may not be condemned along with the world.
