For I have been informed by Chloe's people, that there are quarrels among you, my brethren.

But we speak of God's secret wisdom, a wisdom that has been hidden and which God destined for our glory before the ages.

Cleanse out the old leaven that you may be a new lump, as you really are unleavened. For Christ, our Passover lamb, has been sacrificed.

Was any man called when he was already circumcised? He is not to become uncircumcised. Has anyone been called in uncircumcision? He is not to be circumcised.

But if anyone says to you, "This has been offered in sacrifice," then do not eat it, both for the sake of the man who informed you and for conscience' sake

You know that when you were pagans, you were led astray to mute idols, however you may have been moved.

For now we see in a mirror dimly, but then face to face. Now I know in part, but then I shall know fullyeven as I have been fully known.

Now if Christ is preached that he has been raised from the dead, how can some of you say that there is no resurrection of the dead?

But if there is no resurrection of the dead, then not even Christ has been raised;

if Christ has not been raised, then our preaching is in vain and so is your faith.

For if the dead are not raised, then Christ has not been raised.

And if Christ has not been raised, your faith is futile; you are still in your sins.

But Christ has indeed been raised from the dead, the first fruits of those who have fallen asleep.
