'Things' in the Bible

So that in him you have wealth in all things, in word and in knowledge of every sort;

But God made selection of the foolish things of this world so that he might put the wise to shame; and the feeble things that he might put to shame the strong;

And the low things of the world, and the things without honour, did God make selection of, yes, even the things which are not, so that he might make as nothing the things which are:

But as it says in the holy Writings, Things which the eye saw not, and which had not come to the ears or into the heart of man, such things as God has made ready for those who have love for him.

But God has given us the revelation of these things through his Spirit, for the Spirit makes search into all things, even the deep things of God.

For who has knowledge of the things of a man but the spirit of the man which is in him? in the same way, no one has knowledge of the things of God but the Spirit of God.

But we have not the spirit of the world, but the Spirit which comes from God, so that we may have knowledge of the things which are freely given to us by God.

And these are the things which we say, not in the language of man's wisdom, but in words given to us by the Spirit, judging the things of the spirit by the help of the Spirit.

For the natural man is not able to take in the things of the Spirit of God: for they seem foolish to him, and he is not able to have knowledge of them, because such knowledge comes only through the Spirit.

But he who has the Spirit, though judging all things, is himself judged by no one.

So let no one take pride in men. For all things are yours;

Paul, or Apollos, or Cephas, or the world, or life, or death, or things present, or things to come; all are yours;

Let us be judged as servants of Christ, and as those who are responsible for the secret things of God.

For this reason let there be no judging before the time, till the Lord comes, who will make clear the secret things of the dark, and the designs of the heart; and then will every man have his praise from God.

My brothers, it is because of you that I have taken Apollos and myself as examples of these things, so that in us you might see that it is not wise to go farther than what is in the holy Writings, so that no one of you may be lifted up against his brother.

When evil things are said about us we give gentle answers: we are made as the unclean things of the world, as that for which no one has any use, even till now.

I am not saying these things to put you to shame, but so that, as my dear children, you may see what is right.

Is it not certain that the saints will be the judges of the world? if then the world will be judged by you, are you unable to give a decision about the smallest things?

Is it not certain that we are to be the judges of angels? how much more then of the things of this life?

If then there are questions to be judged in connection with the things of this life, why do you put them in the hands of those who have no position in the church?

I am free to do all things; but not all things are wise. I am free to do all things; but I will not let myself come under the power of any.

Now, as to the things in your letter to me: It is good for a man to have nothing to do with a woman.

But it is my desire for you to be free from cares. The unmarried man gives his mind to the things of the Lord, how he may give pleasure to the Lord:

But the married man gives his attention to the things of this world, how he may give pleasure to his wife.

And the wife is not the same as the virgin. The virgin gives her mind to the things of the Lord, so that she may be holy in body and in spirit: but the married woman takes thought for the things of the world, how she may give pleasure to her husband.

Now I say this for your profit; not to make things hard for you, but because of what is right, and so that you may be able to give all your attention to the things of the Lord.

Now about things offered to images: we all seem to ourselves to have knowledge. Knowledge gives pride, but love gives true strength.

There is for us only one God, the Father, of whom are all things, and we are for him; and one Lord, Jesus Christ, through whom are all things, and we have our being through him.

If we have been planting the things of the Spirit for you, does it seem a great thing for you to give us a part in your things of this world?

Do you not see that the servants of the holy things get their living from the Temple, and the servants of the altar have their part in the food which is offered on the altar?

But I have not made use of any of these things: and I am not writing this in the hope that it may be so for me: for it would be better for me to undergo death, than for any man to make this pride of mine of no effect.

To the feeble, I was as one who is feeble, so that they might have salvation: I have been all things to all men, so that some at least might have salvation.

And I do all things for the cause of the good news, so that I may have a part in it.

And every man who takes part in the sports has self-control in all things. Now they do it to get a crown which is of this world, but we for an eternal crown.

Now these things were for an example to us, so that our hearts might not go after evil things, as they did.

And do not say evil things against the Lord, as some of them did, and destruction overtook them.

Now these things were done as an example; and were put down in writing for our teaching, on whom the last days have come.

What I say is that the things offered by the Gentiles are offered to evil spirits and not to God; and it is not my desire for you to have any part with evil spirits.

We are free to do all things, but there are things which it is not wise to do. We are free to do all things, but not all things are for the common good.

For the earth is the Lord's and all things in it.

Even as I give way to all men in all things, not looking for profit for myself, but for the good of others, that they may get salvation.

Now I am pleased to see that you keep me in memory in all things, and that you give attention to the teaching which was handed down from me to you.

For as the woman is from the man, so the man is through the woman; but all things are from God.

But if any man will not be ruled in this question, this is not our way of doing things, and it is not done in the churches of God.

But about the things of the spirit, my brothers, it is not right for you to be without teaching.

And there are different operations, but the same God, who is working all things in all.

But let your desires be turned to the more important things given by the Spirit. And now I am pointing out to you an even better way.

And if I have a prophet's power, and have knowledge of all secret things; and if I have all faith, by which mountains may be moved from their place, but have not love, I am nothing.

Love has the power of undergoing all things, having faith in all things, hoping all things.

When I was a child, I made use of a child's language, I had a child's feelings and a child's thoughts: now that I am a man, I have put away the things of a child.

For now we see things in a glass, darkly; but then face to face: now my knowledge is in part; then it will be complete, even as God's knowledge of me.

Go after love; still desiring to have the things which the Spirit gives, but most of all that you may have the prophet's power.

For he who makes use of tongues is not talking to men but to God; because no one has the sense of what he is saying; but in the Spirit he is talking of secret things.

Even things without life, having a voice, such as a music-pipe or other instrument, if they do not give out different sounds, who may be certain what is being played?

So if you are desiring the things which the Spirit gives, let your minds be turned first to the things which are for the good of the church.

If any man seems to himself to be a prophet or to have the Spirit, let him take note of the things which I am writing to you, as being the word of the Lord.

Let all things be done in the right and ordered way.

For, as it says, He has put all things under his feet. But when he says, All things are put under him, it is clear that it is not said about him who put all things under him.

And when all things have been put under him, then will the Son himself be under him who put all things under him, so that God may be all in all.
