Lest any should say that I had baptized in my own name.

For Christ hath not sent me to baptize, but to preach the gospel: not with wisdom of words, lest the cross of Christ should be made of no effect.

That no flesh should glory in his presence.

That your faith should not stand in the wisdom of men, but in the power of God.

But with me it is a very small thing that I should be judged by you, or by man's judgment: yes, I judge not my own self.

It is reported commonly that there is lewdness among you, and such lewdness as is not so much as named among the Gentiles, that one should have his father's wife.

For how knowest thou, O wife, whether thou shalt save thy husband? or how knowest thou, O man, whether thou shalt save thy wife?

But take heed lest by any means this liberty of yours should become a stumbling-block to them that are weak.

For it is written in the law of Moses, Thou shalt not muzzle the mouth of the ox that treadeth out the corn. Doth God take care for oxen?

Or saith he this altogether for our sakes? for our sakes, no doubt, this is written: that he that ploweth should plow in hope; and that he that thresheth in hope should be partaker of his hope.

If others are partakers of this power over you, are not we rather? Nevertheless we have not used this power; but suffer all things, lest we should hinder the gospel of Christ.

Even so hath the Lord ordained that they who preach the gospel should live by the gospel.

But I have used none of these things: neither have I written these things, that it should be so done to me: for it were better for me to die, than that any man should make my glorying void.

But I keep under my body, and bring it into subjection: lest by any means when I have preached to others, I myself should be a cast-away.

Moreover, brethren, I would not that ye should be ignorant, that all our fathers were under the cloud, and all passed through the sea;

Now these things were our examples, to the intent we should not lust after evil things, as they also lusted.

But I say, that the things which the Gentiles sacrifice, they sacrifice to demons, and not to God: and I would not that ye should have fellowship with demons.

Judge in yourselves: Is it comely that a woman should pray to God uncovered?

For if we would judge ourselves, we should not be judged.

But when we are judged, we are chastened by the Lord, that we should not be condemned with the world.

That there should be no schism in the body; but that the members should have the same care one for another.

When I was a child, I spoke as a child, I understood as a child, I thought as a child: but when I became a man, I put away childish things.

Else, when thou shalt bless with the spirit, how shall he that occupieth the room of the unlearned say Amen at thy giving of thanks, seeing he understandeth not what thou sayest?

And if it be proper that I should go also, they shall go with me.
