'Person' in the Bible
The spiritual person, however, can evaluate everything, yet he himself cannot be evaluated by anyone.
A person should consider us in this way: as servants of Christ and managers of God’s mysteries.
Now, brothers, I have applied these things to myself and Apollos for your benefit, so that you may learn from us the saying: “Nothing beyond what is written.” The purpose is that none of you will be inflated with pride in favor of one person over another.
But now I am writing you not to associate with anyone who claims to be a believer who is sexually immoral or greedy, an idolater or verbally abusive, a drunkard or a swindler. Do not even eat with such a person.
But God judges outsiders. Put away the evil person from among yourselves.
I say this to your shame! Can it be that there is not one wise person among you who is able to arbitrate between his brothers?
Run from sexual immorality! “Every sin a person can commit is outside the body.” On the contrary, the person who is sexually immoral sins against his own body.
Each person should remain in the life situation in which he was called.
Brothers, each person should remain with God in whatever situation he was called.
Then the weak person, the brother for whom Christ died, is ruined by your knowledge.
No one should seek his own good, but the good of the other person.
For at the meal, each one eats his own supper ahead of others. So one person is hungry while another gets drunk!
A demonstration of the Spirit is given to each person to produce what is beneficial:
For the person who speaks in another language is not speaking to men but to God, since no one understands him; however, he speaks mysteries in the Spirit.
But the person who prophesies speaks to people for edification, encouragement, and consolation.
The person who speaks in another language builds himself up, but he who prophesies builds up the church.
I wish all of you spoke in other languages, but even more that you prophesied. The person who prophesies is greater than the person who speaks in languages, unless he interprets so that the church may be built up.
Therefore the person who speaks in another language should pray that he can interpret.
Otherwise, if you praise with the spirit, how will the uninformed person say “Amen” at your giving of thanks, since he does not know what you are saying?
For you may very well be giving thanks, but the other person is not being built up.
But if all are prophesying and some unbeliever or uninformed person comes in, he is convicted by all and is judged by all.
If any person speaks in another language, there should be only two, or at the most three, each in turn, and someone must interpret.
But if there is no interpreter, that person should keep silent in the church and speak to himself and to God.
But if something has been revealed to another person sitting there, the first prophet should be silent.
