For the message about the cross is foolishness to those who are perishing, but to us who are being saved it is the power of God.

For no one can lay any foundation other than what is being laid, which is Jesus Christ.

But this knowledge is not shared by all. And some, by being accustomed to idols in former times, eat this food as an idol sacrifice, and their conscience, because it is weak, is defiled.

I do not mean yours but the other person's. For why is my freedom being judged by another's conscience?

It is the same for you. If you do not speak clearly with your tongue, how will anyone know what is being said? For you will be speaking into the air.

and by which you are being saved, if you hold firmly to the message I preached to you -- unless you believed in vain.

Now if Christ is being preached as raised from the dead, how can some of you say there is no resurrection of the dead?
