All things are lawful, but all things are not expedient; all things are lawful, but all things do not edify.

But if any one says to you, This has been offered to an idol, eat not for his sake that informed you, and for conscience' sake.

I mean not your conscience, but that of the other. For why is my freedom limited by the conscience of another?

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

For if a woman is not veiled then let her hair be cut off; but if it is disgraceful for a woman to have her hair cut off, or to be shaved, let her wear a veil.

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

For man is not of woman, but woman of man;

for man also was not created because of the woman, but woman because of the man.

Does not nature herself teach you that if a man wears long hair it is a disgrace to him?

But I tell you this, not to praise you, that you come together not for the better but for the worse.

When you come together therefore, it is not to eat the Lord's supper,

Have you not [food] to eat and drink at your houses? or do you despise the church of God, and shame those who have not [houses]? What shall I say to you? Shall I commend you? In this I commend you not.

For I received of the Lord, what I also delivered to you; that on the night in which he was betrayed, the Lord Jesus took bread

for he eats and drinks judgment to himself, who eats and drinks not discerning the body.

For if we judged ourselves we should not be judged;

but being judged, we are chastened by the Lord, that we may not be condemned with the world.

If any one is hungry let him eat at home, that you come not together for judgment. The other things I will arrange when I come.

AND I wish you not to be ignorant, brothers, of the spiritual gifts.

For the body also is not one member but many.

If the foot says, Because I am not a hand, I am not of the body, is it therefore not of the body?

and if the ear says, Because I am not an eye, I am not of the body, is it therefore not of the body?

The eye cannot say to the hand, I have no need of you, or again, the head to the feet, I have no need of you;

for our comely ones have no need. But God has commingled the body, giving more abundant honor to that part which was lacking,

If I speak with the tongues of men and of angels and have not love, I am a sounding brass and a tinkling cymbal.

And if I have prophecy, and understand all mysteries, and all knowledge, and if I have all faith so as to remove mountains, and have not love, I am nothing.

And if I deal out all my property to feed the poor, and if I deliver my body to be burned, and have not love, I shall not be profited.

Love suffers long and is kind; love envies not; love is not boastful, is not puffed up,

does not behave unbecomingly, seeks not her own, is not easily provoked, devises not evil,

rejoices not in wickedness, but rejoices in the truth;

For he that speaks with a tongue speaks not to men but to God; for no one understands him, but in spirit he speaks mysteries;

So also you by a tongue if you utter a word not easily understood, how shall it be known what is spoken? for you will speak to the air.

if therefore I do not know the meaning of the voice, I shall be to him that speaks a barbarian, and he that speaks will be a barbarian to me.

since if you bless with the spirit, how shall he that occupies the place of the unlearned say, Amen, to your thanksgiving, since he knows not what you say?

For you indeed give thanks well; but the other is not edified.

Brothers, be not children in understanding, but in malice be children, and in understanding be perfect men.

For it is written in the law, With other tongues, and with other lips will I speak to this people, and so they shall not understand me, says the Lord.

Tongues therefore are a sign, not for believers but for unbelievers, but prophecy is not for unbelievers but for believers.

If, therefore, the whole church comes together, and all speak with tongues, and there come in the unlearned and unbelieving, will they not say that you are mad?

for God is not [the friend] of disorder but of peace.

As in all the churches of the saints, let your women keep silence in the assemblies; for it is not permitted to them to speak, but to be in subjection, as the law also says.

Therefore, brothers, desire earnestly to prophesy, and forbid not to speak with tongues;

For I am the least of the apostles, and am not worthy to be called an apostle, because I persecuted the church of God;

but by the grace of God I am what I am, and his grace to me was not in vain, but I labored more abundantly than they all, but not I but the grace of God with me.

But if there is not a resurrection of the dead, Christ has not been raised;

and if Christ has not been raised, then both our preaching is vain, and your faith also vain;

and we are found also false witnesses of God, because we testified in regard to God that he raised up Christ, whom he raised not up if indeed the dead are not raised.

For if the dead are not raised, Christ was not raised;

and if Christ was not raised, your faith is vain, you are yet in your sins,

Else what will they do who are baptized for the dead, if the dead rise not at all? and why are they baptized for them?

If after the manner of men I have fought with beasts at Ephesus, of what advantage is it to me? If the dead rise not, let us eat and drink, for to-morrow we die.

Be not deceived; evil companionships corrupt good morals.

Awake to righteousness and sin not; for some have not a knowledge of God. I speak to your shame.

Foolish man, what you sow is not made alive unless it dies;

and what you sow, you sow not the body which shall be, but the naked grain, it may be of wheat, or some of the other grains;

All flesh is not the same flesh; but there is one flesh of men, and another flesh of beasts, and another flesh of birds, and another of fishes.

But the spiritual was not first, but the natural; then the spiritual.

Behold, I tell you a mystery; we shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed,

Therefore, my beloved brothers, be steadfast, immovable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, knowing that your labor is not in vain in the Lord.

For I do not wish now to see you by the way; for I hope to continue some time with you, if the Lord permits.

If any one is not a friend to the Lord, let him be accursed. The Lord comes.
