But as it is written:

What eye did not see and ear did not hear,
and what never entered the human mind—
God prepared this for those who love Him.

whether Paul or Apollos or Cephas or the world or life or death or things present or things to come—everything is yours,

What do you want? Should I come to you with a rod, or in love and a spirit of gentleness?

Don’t you know that we will judge angels—not to mention ordinary matters?

So if you have cases pertaining to this life, do you select those who have no standing in the church to judge?

But I (not the Lord) say to the rest: If any brother has an unbelieving wife and she is willing to live with him, he must not leave her.

Also, if any woman has an unbelieving husband and he is willing to live with her, she must not leave her husband.

However, each one must live his life in the situation the Lord assigned when God called him. This is what I command in all the churches.

Each person should remain in the life situation in which he was called.

However, if you do get married, you have not sinned, and if a virgin marries, she has not sinned. But such people will have trouble in this life, and I am trying to spare you.

About food offered to idols: We know that “we all have knowledge.” Knowledge inflates with pride, but love builds up.

If I speak human or angelic languages
but do not have love,
I am a sounding gong or a clanging cymbal.

If I have the gift of prophecy
and understand all mysteries
and all knowledge,
and if I have all faith
so that I can move mountains
but do not have love, I am nothing.

And if I donate all my goods to feed the poor,
and if I give my body in order to boast
but do not have love, I gain nothing.

Love is patient, love is kind.
Love does not envy,
is not boastful, is not conceited,

Love never ends.
But as for prophecies,
they will come to an end;
as for languages, they will cease;
as for knowledge, it will come to an end.

Now these three remain:
faith, hope, and love.
But the greatest of these is love.

Pursue love and desire spiritual gifts, and above all that you may prophesy.

If we have put our hope in Christ for this life only, we should be pitied more than anyone.

Foolish one! What you sow does not come to life unless it dies.

So it is written: The first man Adam became a living being; the last Adam became a life-giving Spirit.

Your every action must be done with love.

If anyone does not love the Lord, a curse be on him. Marana tha that is, Lord, come!

My love be with all of you in Christ Jesus.
