but we preach Christ crucified, to the Jews a cause for stumbling, but to the Gentiles foolishness,

These things, brethren, I have described in mine own person, and Apollos, for your sakes - that ye might learn by us that no man count of himself beyond that which is above written: that one swell not against another for any man's cause.

For who made you better than your brother? or what have you that has not been given to you? but if it has been given to you, what cause have you for pride, as if it had not been given to you?

For this cause I have sent Timothy to you, who is my dear and true child in the Lord; he will make clear to you my ways in Christ, even as I am teaching everywhere in every church.

How is it, that if any one of you has a cause at law against another, he takes it before a Gentile judge and not before the saints?

of the things of life, indeed, then, if ye may have judgment, those despised in the assembly -- these cause ye to sit;

But a brother who has a cause at law against another takes it before Gentile judges.

Food of all kinds is meant for the stomach, and the stomach is meant for food, and God will cause both of them to perish. Yet the body does not exist for the purpose of fornication, but for the Master's service, and the Master exists for the body;

For how may you be certain, O wife, that you will not be the cause of salvation to your husband? or you, O husband, that you may not do the same for your wife?

A bond-servant, wast thou called? let it not cause thee concern; but, if thou canst even become, free, rather use it.

I want you to be free from anxiety. The unmarried man is anxious about the Master's Cause, desiring to please him;

And so his interests are divided. Again, the unmarried woman, whether she is old or young, is anxious about the Master's Cause, striving to be pure both in body and in spirit, while the married woman is anxious about worldly matters, desiring to please her husband.

Now food will not commend us to God nor bring us close to Him; we are no worse off if we do not eat, nor are we better if we do eat.

But take care that this power of yours does not give cause for trouble to the feeble.

And so, through your knowledge, you are the cause of destruction to your brother, for whom Christ underwent death.

For this reason, if food is a cause of trouble to my brother, I will give up taking meat for ever, so that I may not be a cause of trouble to my brother.

If, others, of this right, over you, are partaking, should not rather, we? nevertheless, we used not this right; but, all such things, do we conceal, - lest we should cause any hindrance unto the glad message of the Christ.

For if I am a preacher of the good news, I have no cause for pride in this; because I am forced to do so, for a curse is on me if I do not.

And I do all things for the cause of the good news, so that I may have a part in it.

For this cause, my dear brothers, give no worship to false gods.

Or may we be the cause of envy to the Lord? are we stronger than he?

Give no cause of trouble to Jews, or to Greeks, or to the church of God.

For this cause, ought the woman to have, permission, upon her head, because of the messengers.

Does it not seem natural to you that if a man has long hair, it is a cause of shame to him?

For this cause a number of you are feeble and ill, and a number are dead.

If anyone is hungry, he should eat at home, so that when you gather together you will not come under judgment. And I will give instructions about the other matters whenever I come.

And to those parts of the body which seem to have less honour we give all the more honour; and to those parts of the body which are a cause of shame to us we give the greater respect;

For this cause, my dear brothers, be strong in purpose and unmoved, ever giving yourselves to the work of the Lord, because you are certain that your work is not without effect in the Lord.

If Timothy visit you, take care he may be perfectly safe: for he labours in the cause of christianity, as well as I.

For they gave comfort to my spirit and to yours: for which cause give respect to such people.
