But the natural man does not accept the things of the Spirit of God, for they are foolishness to him, and he is not able to understand [them], because they are spiritually discerned.

It is reported everywhere [that there] is sexual immorality among you, and sexual immorality of such a kind which [does] not [even exist] among the Gentiles, so that someone has the wife of [his] father.

Does anyone among you, [if he] has a matter against someone else, dare to go to court before the unrighteous, and not before the saints?

The wife does not have authority over her own body, but her husband [does]. And likewise also the husband does not have authority over his own body, but his wife [does].

But if indeed she does separate, she must remain unmarried or be reconciled to her husband. And a husband must not divorce [his] wife.

But if anyone thinks he is behaving dishonorably concerning his virgin, if she is past her prime and it ought to be thus, let him do what he wishes. He does not sin. Let them marry.

So then, the one who marries his own virgin does well, and the one who does not marry [her] will do better.

But food does not bring us close to God. For neither if we eat do we have more, nor if we do not eat do we lack.

Who ever serves as a soldier at his own expense? Who plants a vineyard and does not eat the fruit of it? Who shepherds a flock and does not drink from the milk of the flock?

I am not saying these [things] according to a human perspective. Or does the law not also say these [things]?

Or doubtless does he speak {for our sake}? For it is written {for our sake}, because the one who plows ought to plow in hope and the one who threshes [ought to do so] in hope of a share.

For if a woman does not cover herself, let her [hair] be shorn off. But if [it is] shameful for a woman to [have her head] shorn or shaved, let her cover her [head].

And does not nature itself teach you that a man, if he wears long hair, it is a dishonor to him?

For the one who eats and drinks, [if he] does not recognize the body, eats and drinks judgment against himself.

Love is patient, love is kind, love is not jealous, [it] does not boast, [it] does not become conceited,

[it] does not behave dishonorably, [it] {is not selfish}, [it] does not become angry, [it] does not keep a record of wrongs,

[it] does not rejoice at unrighteousness, but rejoices with the truth,

For the one who speaks in a tongue does not speak to people but to God, because no one understands, but by the Spirit he speaks mysteries.

For otherwise, if you praise in [your] spirit, how will the one who fills the place of the outsider say the "amen" at your thanksgiving, because he does not know what you are saying?

Foolish person! What you sow does not come to life unless it dies.

If anyone does not love the Lord, let him be accursed. O Lord, come!
