'Things' in the Bible

but the foolish things of the world did God choose, that the wise He may put to shame; and the weak things of the world did God choose that He may put to shame the strong;

and the base things of the world, and the things despised did God choose, and the things that are not, that the things that are He may make useless --

but to us did God reveal them through His Spirit, for the Spirit all things doth search, even the depths of God,

for who of men hath known the things of the man, except the spirit of the man that is in him? so also the things of God no one hath known, except the Spirit of God.

And we the spirit of the world did not receive, but the Spirit that is of God, that we may know the things conferred by God on us,

which things also we speak, not in words taught by human wisdom, but in those taught by the Holy Spirit, with spiritual things spiritual things comparing,

and the natural man doth not receive the things of the Spirit of God, for to him they are foolishness, and he is not able to know them, because spiritually they are discerned;

and he who is spiritual, doth discern indeed all things, and he himself is by no one discerned;

So then, let no one glory in men, for all things are yours,

whether Paul, or Apollos, or Cephas, or the world, or life, or death, or things present, or things about to be -- all are yours,

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.

And these things, brethren, I did transfer to myself and to Apollos because of you, that in us ye may learn not to think above that which hath been written, that ye may not be puffed up one for one against the other,

being spoken evil of, we entreat; as filth of the world we did become -- of all things an offscouring -- till now.

Not as putting you to shame do I write these things, but as my beloved children I do admonish,

have ye not known that we shall judge messengers? why not then the things of life?

of the things of life, indeed, then, if ye may have judgment, those despised in the assembly -- these cause ye to sit;

All things are lawful to me, but all things are not profitable; all things are lawful to me, but I -- I will not be under authority by any;

And concerning the things of which ye wrote to me: good it is for a man not to touch a woman,

And I wish you to be without anxiety; the unmarried is anxious for the things of the Lord, how he shall please the Lord;

and the married is anxious for the things of the world, how he shall please the wife.

The wife and the virgin have been distinguished: the unmarried is anxious for the things of the Lord, that she may be holy both in body and in spirit, and the married is anxious for the things of the world, how she shall please the husband.

And concerning the things sacrificed to idols, we have known that we all have knowledge: knowledge puffeth up, but love buildeth up;

Concerning the eating then of the things sacrificed to idols, we have known that an idol is nothing in the world, and that there is no other God except one;

yet to us is one God, the Father, of whom are the all things, and we to Him; and one Lord, Jesus Christ, through whom are the all things, and we through Him;

for if any one may see thee that hast knowledge in an idol's temple reclining at meat -- shall not his conscience -- he being infirm -- be emboldened to eat the things sacrificed to idols,

According to man do I speak these things? or doth not also the law say these things?

If we to you the spiritual things did sow -- great is it if we your fleshly things do reap?

if others do partake of the authority over you -- not we more? but we did not use this authority, but all things we bear, that we may give no hindrance to the good news of the Christ.

Have ye not known that those working about the things of the temple -- of the temple do eat, and those waiting at the altar -- with the altar are partakers?

And I have used none of these things; neither did I write these things that it may be so done in my case, for it is good for me rather to die, than that any one may make my glorying void;

I became to the infirm as infirm, that the infirm I might gain; to all men I have become all things, that by all means I may save some.

and every one who is striving, is in all things temperate; these, indeed, then, that a corruptible crown they may receive, but we an incorruptible;

and those things became types of us, for our not passionately desiring evil things, as also these did desire.

And all these things as types did happen to those persons, and they were written for our admonition, to whom the end of the ages did come,

no, but that the things that the nations sacrifice -- they sacrifice to demons and not to God; and I do not wish you to come into the fellowship of the demons.

All things to me are lawful, but all things are not profitable; all things to me are lawful, but all things do not build up;

as I also in all things do please all, not seeking my own profit, but that of many -- that they may be saved.

And I praise you, brethren, that in all things ye remember me, and according as I did deliver to you, the deliverances ye keep,

for as the woman is of the man, so also the man is through the woman, and the all things are of God.

And concerning the spiritual things, brethren, I do not wish you to be ignorant;

and those that we think to be less honourable of the body, around these we put more abundant honour, and our unseemly things have seemliness more abundant,

and our seemly things have no need; but God did temper the body together, to the lacking part having given more abundant honour,

doth not act unseemly, doth not seek its own things, is not provoked, doth not impute evil,

all things it beareth, all it believeth, all it hopeth, all it endureth.

When I was a babe, as a babe I was speaking, as a babe I was thinking, as a babe I was reasoning, and when I have become a man, I have made useless the things of the babe;

Pursue the love, and seek earnestly the spiritual things, and rather that ye may prophecy,

yet the things without life giving sound -- whether pipe or harp -- if a difference in the sounds they may not give, how shall be known that which is piped or that which is harped?

What then is it, brethren? whenever ye may come together, each of you hath a psalm, hath a teaching, hath a tongue, hath a revelation, hath an interpretation? let all things be for building up;

if any one doth think to be a prophet, or spiritual, let him acknowledge the things that I write to you -- that of the Lord they are commands;

let all things be done decently and in order.

for all things He did put under his feet, and, when one may say that all things have been subjected, it is evident that He is excepted who did subject the all things to him,

and when the all things may be subjected to him, then the Son also himself shall be subject to Him, who did subject to him the all things, that God may be the all in all.

let all your things be done in love.
