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?

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

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?

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.

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.

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.

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.

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