Now I beseech you, brethren, by the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that ye all speak the same thing, and that there be no divisions among you; but that ye be perfectly joined together in the same mind and in the same judgment.

Now this I say, that every one of you saith, I am of Paul; and I of Apollos; and I of Cephas; and I of Christ.

I am thankful now that I baptized none of you, except Crispus and Gaius,

(Now I also baptized the household of Stephanas. Beyond that I do not know if I baptized anyone else.)

Where now is your philosopher? Your scribe? Your reasoner of today? Has not God made a fool of the world's wisdom?

Now Jews ask for [miraculous] signs and Greeks [i.e., Gentiles] are looking for wisdom,

Now consider how you were when you were called, brothers. Not many of you were wise by human standards; not many were influential; not many were from prominent families.

Now when I came to you, brothers, I did not come and tell you God's uncovered secret in rhetorical language or human philosophy,

Now we do speak wisdom among the mature, but wisdom not of this age or of the rulers of this age, who are perishing,

but we speak God’s wisdom in a mystery, the wisdom once hidden [from man, but now revealed to us by God, that wisdom] which God predestined before the ages to our glory [to lift us into the glory of His presence].

Now God has revealed these things to us by the Spirit, for the Spirit searches everything, even the depths of God.

Now we have received, not the spirit of the world, but the spirit which is of God; that we might know the things that are freely given to us of God.

Now the natural man receiveth not the things of the Spirit of God: for they are foolishness unto him; and he cannot know them, because they are spiritually judged.

Now the spiritual [person] discerns all [things], but he himself is judged by no one.

For who has ever known the Lord's thoughts, so that he can instruct Him? But we now possess Christ's thoughts.

I have fed you with milk, and not with meat: for hitherto ye were not able to bear it, neither yet now are ye able.

You are not able even now, for you are still unspiritual. While there is among you jealousy and strife, are you not still unspiritual, and behaving like worldlings?

Now he that planteth and he that watereth are one: and every man shall receive his own reward according to his own labour.

According to the [remarkable] grace of God which was given to me [to prepare me for my task], like a skillful master builder I laid a foundation, and now another is building on it. But each one must be careful how he builds on it,

Now if any man build upon this foundation gold, silver, precious stones, wood, hay, stubble;

Now it is required of servant managers that each one should prove to be trustworthy.

So do not go on passing judgment before the appointed time, but wait until the Lord comes, for He will both bring to light the [secret] things that are hidden in darkness and disclose the motives of the hearts. Then each one’s praise will come from God.

Now these things, brethren, I have in a figure transferred to myself and Apollos for your sakes; that in us ye might learn not to go beyond the things which are written; that no one of you be puffed up for the one against the other.

For who maketh thee to differ from another? and what hast thou that thou didst not receive? now if thou didst receive it, why dost thou glory, as if thou hadst not received it?

Now ye are full, now ye are rich, ye have reigned as kings without us: and I would to God ye did reign, that we also might reign with you.

being defamed, we entreat: we are made as the filth of the world, the offscouring of all things, even until now.

For you can have 10,000 instructors in Christ, but you can’t have many fathers. For I became your father in Christ Jesus through the gospel.

Now I conjure you, be followers of me.

Now some are puffed up, as though I would not come to you.

Which do you prefer? Shall I come to you with a rod [of discipline and correction], or with love and a gentle spirit?

Then get rid of the old leaven, so that you may be like a new lump, as you are now unleavened. For our Paschal Lamb has already been sacrificed, Christ himself.

But now I have written unto you not to keep company, if any man that is called a brother be a fornicator, or covetous, or an idolater, or a railer, or a drunkard, or an extortioner; with such an one no not to eat.

Or, do you not know that God's people will judge the world? [Note: Possibly this refers to Christians somehow assisting Christ on the judgment day]. And if the world is [to be] judged by you [at that time], are you not capable of judging small matters [now]?

I speak to your shame. Is there not now a wise man among you? not one who can judge between his brothers?

Now therefore there is utterly a fault among you, because ye go to law one with another. Why do ye not rather take wrong? why do ye not rather suffer yourselves to be defrauded?

And all this describes what some of you were. But now you have had every stain washed off: now you have been set apart as holy: now you have been pronounced free from guilt; in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ and through the Spirit of our God.

Meats for the belly, and the belly for meats: but God shall destroy both it and them. Now the body is not for fornication, but for the Lord; and the Lord for the body.

Now God raised up the Lord, and will also raise us up by his power.

Either, remember ye not, that your bodies are the members of Christ? Shall I now take the members of Christ, and make them the members of a harlot? God forbid.

for ye have been bought with a price: glorify now then God in your body.

Now concerning the things whereof ye wrote unto me: It is good for a man not to touch a woman.

Now I wish all men to be even as myself: but every one has his own gift of God: one man thus, and another thus.

Now I say to the unmarried and to the widows: [It is] good for them if they remain as I [am].

Now I command married people, although it is [really] the Lord's command [See. Mark 10:2-12]: A wife should not separate from her husband. [Note: This act implies the intention of pursuing a legal and permanent breach of the marriage relationship by divorce. "Separate" and "divorce" appear to be used interchangeably in this section. See verses 11-15].

Now to the rest I say--not the Lord--if any brother has an unbelieving wife and she consents to live with him, he must not divorce her.

For the unbelieving husband is sanctified by the wife, and the unbelieving wife is sanctified by the husband: else were your children unclean; but now are they holy.

For the person who was a slave when called by the Lord is [now] the Lord's freed person. In the same way, the person who was free when he was called [by the Lord] is [now] Christ's slave.

Now concerning virgins I have no commandment of the Lord: yet I give my judgment, as one that hath obtained mercy of the Lord to be faithful.

I think then that because of the impending distress [that is, the pressure of the current trouble], it is good for a man to remain as he is.

But I say this, believers: the time has been shortened, so that from now on even those who have wives should be as though they did not;

and those who use the world as not using it to the full. For the world as it now exists is passing away.

And I would have you without anxiety. Now he, that is unmarried, careth for the things of the Lord, how he may please the Lord; but he,

Now I say this for your own benefit; not to restrict you, but to promote what is appropriate and secure undistracted devotion to the Lord.

Now if a father thinks that he is not doing the proper thing regarding his single daughter, if she is past the bloom of her youth, and she ought to do so, let him do what she desires; he commits no sin. Let the daughter and her suitor marry.

Now as touching things offered unto idols, we know that we all have knowledge. Knowledge puffeth up, but charity edifieth.

Now concerning eating food offered to idols: We know that no idol is real in this world and that there is only one God.

Howbeit there is not in all men that knowledge: but some, being used until now to the idol, eat as of a thing sacrificed to an idol; and their conscience being weak is defiled.

Now food will not commend us to God nor bring us close to Him; we are no worse off if we do not eat, nor are we better if we do eat.

Now, thus sinning against the brethren, and wounding their weak conscience, ye sin against Christ.

or saith not the law the same also? for it is written in the law of Moses, "Thou shalt not muzzle the ox that treadeth out the corn." Now doth God take care for oxen,

But I have used none of these things. Now I have not written these things that it should be thus in my case; for it were good for me rather to die than that any one should make vain my boast.

now if I do this willingly, I have a reward: but if against my will, it is a dispensation of trust which must be discharged.

Now I do all this because of the gospel, so I may become a partner in its benefits.

And every man that striveth for the mastery is temperate in all things. Now they do it to obtain a corruptible crown; but we an incorruptible.

Now I want you to know, brothers, that our fathers were all under the cloud, all passed through the sea,

and all drank the same spiritual drink, for they drank of a spiritual rock which followed them: (now the rock was the Christ;)

Now these things were our examples, to the intent we should not lust after evil things, as they also lusted.

Now stop being idolaters, as some of them were, for the Scripture says, "The people sat down to eat and drink and got up to dance."

Now all these things happened unto them for ensamples: and they are written for our admonition, upon whom the ends of the world are come.

But that what the nations sacrifice they sacrifice to demons, and not to God. Now I do not wish you to be in communion with demons.

Now if an unbeliever invites you for a meal and you decide to go, eat whatever is set in front of you without asking any questions for [your] conscience' sake [See verse 25].

Now I am not speaking about your own conscience, but the [conscience] of the other [person]. For why [is] my freedom judged by another's conscience?

Now I praise you, brethren, that ye remember me in all things, and keep the ordinances, as I delivered them to you.

Now I want you to realize that the Messiah is the head of every man, and man is the head of the woman, and God is the head of the Messiah.

If a woman does not wear a veil, let her also cut off her hair; now if it is a disgrace for a woman to have her hair cut off or her head shaved, let her be veiled.

for as woman was made from man, so man is now made from woman, while both, like all things, come from God.)

Now if anyone is inclined to be contentious [about this], we have no other practice [in worship than this], nor do the churches of God [in general].

Now in this that I declare unto you I praise you not, that ye come together not for the better, but for the worse.

But now, when you come together, it is not possible to take the holy meal of the Lord:

hence it is, that many are weak and sickly among you, and no small number now sleep in their graves.

If however, we were judging ourselves aright, we should not now be condemned;

Now, while we are being judged by the Lord, we are being disciplined so we won't be condemned along with the world.

Now concerning spiritual gifts, brethren, I would not have you ignorant.

so I tell you now, that no one is speaking in the Spirit of God when he cries, 'Cursed be Jesus,' and that no one can say, 'Jesus is Lord,' except in the holy Spirit.

Now there are diversities of gifts, but the same Spirit.

Now to each man has been given his manifestation of the Spirit for the common good.

Now all of these [supernatural gifts] are the work of one and the same Holy Spirit, who distributes them to each person individually as He desires.

But now hath God set the members every one of them in the body, as it hath pleased him.

Now if all of it were one part, there wouldn't be a body, would there?

But now are they many members, yet but one body.

Now the eye is not able to say to the hand, "I do not have need of you," or again, the head to the feet, "I do not have need of you."

Now ye are the body of Christ, and members in particular.

Now God has placed some [ministries] in the church [as follows]: First apostles, secondly prophets, thirdly teachers, then [those able to perform] miracles, then gifts [enabling people] to perform [supernatural] healings, [those able] to help the needy, [wise] administrators, [and] those able to speak in different languages.

But always seek to excel in the greater gifts. And now I will point out to you a way of life which transcends all others.

Love never fails. Now if there are prophecies, they will be done away with. If there are languages, they will cease. If there is knowledge, it will be done away with.

For [now] we have partial knowledge and partial prophetic messages,

When I was a child, I spake as a child, I felt as a child, I thought as a child: now that I am become a man, I have put away childish things.

For now we see through a glass, darkly; but then face to face: now I know in part; but then shall I know even as also I am known.

And now abideth faith, hope, charity, these three; but the greatest of these is charity.

Now I would have you all speak with tongues, but rather that ye should prophesy: and greater is he that prophesieth than he that speaketh with tongues, except he interpret, that the church may receive edifying.
