that in everything you have been enriched in him, in all speech, and in all knowledge

For it has been plainly told me concerning you, my brothers, by Chloe's people, that there are dissensions among you.

Has Christ been divided? Paul, was he crucified for you? or was it into the name of Paul that you were baptized?

For consider your own calling, brothers, that not many wise in earthly wisdom, not many powerful, not many of noble birth, have been called.

When reviled, we bless; when persecuted, we endure; when defamed, we conciliate. We have been made, as it were, scum-o'-the-earth, the very refuse of the world, to this very hour!

Then get rid of the old leaven, so that you may be like a new lump, as you are now unleavened. For our Paschal Lamb has already been sacrificed, Christ himself.

Such were some of you, but you have washed away your stains, you have been consecrated, you have been justified in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ, and in the Spirit of our God.

You are not your own; for you have been bought with a price, therefore glorify God in your bodies.

For the slave who has been called in the Lord is the Lord's freedman; and in the same way, the free man who is called is Christ's slave.

But that "knowledge" is not possessed by all; but some, accustomed until now to the idol, eat food as that which has actually been offered to an idol, and so their conscience, being still weak, is defiled.

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,

but it is woman's glory, because her hair has been given her instead of a veil.

Now to each man has been given his manifestation of the Spirit for the common good.

For now we see as in a mirror, and are baffled, but then face to face; now I know in fragments, but then shall I understand even as I also have been understood.

For the very first thing I taught you was that I had myself been taught, that Christ died for our sins according to the Scripture,

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

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

And when this mortal has been clothed with immortality, then will the words of Scripture come to pass, Death has been swallowed up in victory.
