Yes, I did baptize the house of Stephanas also, but I do not think I baptized any one else.

For Christ did not think I baptized any one else. For Christ did not send me forth to baptize, but to proclaim the gospel; and that not in philosophic words, lest the Cross of Christ should be made an empty thing.

If any man's work??he building he has made??tands the test, he will be rewarded.

If any man's work is burned up, he will suffer loss, but he himself will be saved, as it were through the flames.

If any one tear down God's sanctuary, God will tear him down; for the sanctuary of God is holy, and that is what you are.

Let no one deceive himself. If any one of you supposes that he is wise in the philosophy of the present age, let him become foolish, so that he may be wise.

Let any man look upon us as servants of Christ, and stewards of the secret truths of God.

But to me it matters very little that I am judged by you, or by any earthly court.

So let us keep the unending feast, not with any old leaven, neither with leaven of malice and vice, but with unleavened bread of sincerity and truth.

But what I wrote was that you were not to associate with any so-called brother who is immoral, or avaricious, or idolatrous, or abusive, or a drunkard, or an extortioner. No, with such persons do not even sit at table.

Dare any one of you who has a grievance against his neighbor go to law before heathen judges, instead of before the saints?

"All things are lawful for me"? Yes, but not all things are good for me. "All things are lawful for me"? Yes, but I will not let myself be enslaved by the power of any.

To the rest it is I who am speaking, not the Lord. If any brother has a wife who is not a believer, if he is willing to live with her, let him not send her away.

So, was any man called, being circumcised? Let him not become uncircumcised. Was any man called when he was uncircumcised? Let him not be circumcised.

Now food does not bring us nearness to God. Neither if we eat do we gain any advantage, nor if we eat not, do we lose any.

For if any one should see you, the possessor of "knowledge," reclining at table in an idol's temple, would not his conscience, if he were weak, be emboldened to eat things sacrificed to idols?

If others share this authority over you, do not I far more? Yet I have not availed myself of it, but am patiently enduring; so that I may not in any way hinder the progress of Christ's gospel.

But for my part, I have never availed myself of any of these rights. I do not say this to bring it about in my own case. I would rather die than let any one make void this boast of mine.

I am become weak to the weak, to win the weak. I am become all these things to all men that, by any and by all means, I may save some.

But if any one tells you, "This food has been offered in sacrifice," do not eat it, for the sake of him who told you,

If, however, any one is inclined to be disputatious regarding such a custom, let him know that neither I nor the churches of God hold to such a custom.

If any one is hungry, let him eat at home, so that your meetings do not bring condemnation upon you. The other matters I will adjust when I come.

Or if the ear should say, "Because I am not an eye, I am not a part of the body," would it be any less a part of the body?

If any one speaks in an unknown tongue, let it be by two, or at the most by three, and that in turn, and let some one interpret.

If any one thinks himself a prophet or spiritual, let him recognize that what I am now writing you is a command of the Lord.

But if any one disregard it he will be disregarded.

If any one does not love the Lord, let him be accursed. Our Lord is coming.
