Where is a wise man? Where is a scholar? Where is a researcher of this age? Did not God make foolish the wisdom of this world?

For since in the wisdom of God the world did not know God through its wisdom, it pleased God through the foolishness of preaching to save those who believe.

But we did not receive the spirit of the world, but the spirit from God, so that we might know the things graciously given to us by God.

For who makes thee different? And what have thou that thou did not receive? And also if thou received it, why do thou boast as not having received it?

Already ye are filled. Already ye have become rich. Ye reigned without us, and O that ye did indeed reign, so that we also might reign with you.

And ye are puffed up and did not rather mourn, so that he who committed this deed might be taken away from the midst of you.

But also if thou did marry thou have not sinned, and if the virgin married she has not sinned. Yet such kind will have stress in the flesh, but I spare you.

If others are partakers of the right from you, are not we more? Nevertheless we did not use this right, but we cover all things, so that we may not give any hindrance to the good-news of the Christ.

But I have used none of these things, and I did not write these things so that it should be done to me this way. For it is good for me rather to die, than that any man should make my boasting empty.

Or did the word of God come forth from you? Or did it come to you only?

But by the grace of God I am what I am. And his grace for me did not become empty, but I labored more abundantly than them all, yet not I, but the grace of God with me.

Now if Christ is proclaimed that he has risen from the dead, how say some among you that there is no resurrection of the dead?

But if there is no resurrection of the dead, neither has Christ risen.

And also we are found FALSE witnesses of God, because we witnessed according to God that he raised up the Christ, whom he did not raise up, if therefore the dead are really not raised.

For if the dead are not raised, neither has Christ been raised.

But now Christ has been raised from the dead. He became the first fruit of those who are asleep.

For since death is because of a man, the resurrection of the dead is also because of a man.

Otherwise what will they do who are immersed for the dead? If the dead do not rise at all, why then are they immersed for the dead?

If in respect to men I fought with beasts at Ephesus, what is the benefit to me if the dead are not raised? Let us eat and drink, for tomorrow we die.

But some man will say, How are the dead raised, and with what kind of body do they come?

So also is the resurrection of the dead. It is sown in the perishable, it is raised in imperishability.

in an instant, in the blink of an eye, at the last trumpet. For it will sound, and the dead will be raised imperishable, and we will be transformed.
