just as the testimony about Christ has been confirmed in you,

For it has been made clear to me concerning you, my brothers, by {Chloe's people}, that there are quarrels among you.

Has Christ been divided? Paul was not crucified for you, was he? Or were you baptized in the name of Paul?

Where [is] the wise person? Where [is] the scribe? Where [is] the debater of this age? Has not God made foolish the wisdom of the world?

But just as it is written, "[Things] which eye has not seen and ear has not heard, and have not entered into the heart of man, all that God has prepared for those who love him."

For to us God has revealed [them] through the Spirit. For the Spirit searches all [things], even the depths of God.

"For who has known the mind of the Lord; who has advised him?" But we have the mind of Christ.

If anyone's work that he has built upon [it] remains, he will receive a reward.

For, I think, God has exhibited us apostles last of all, as condemned to death, because we have become a spectacle to the world and to angels and to people.

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.

And you are inflated with pride, and should you not rather have mourned, so that the one who has done this deed would be removed from your midst?

For [although I] am absent in body but present in spirit, I have already passed judgment on the one who has done this in this way, as [if I] were present.

Clean out the old leaven in order that you may be a new batch of dough, just as you are unleavened. For Christ our Passover has been sacrificed.

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?

I wish all people could be like myself, but each one has his own gift from God, one in this way and another in that way.

Now to the rest I say--not the Lord--if any brother has an unbelieving wife and she consents to live with him, he must not divorce her.

And if any wife has an unbelieving husband and he consents to live with her, she must not divorce her husband.

But if the unbeliever leaves, let him leave. The brother or the sister is not bound in such [cases]. But God has called us in peace.

But to each one as the Lord has apportioned. As God has called each one, thus let him live--and thus I order in all the churches.

But if you marry, you have not sinned, and if the virgin marries, she has not sinned. But such people will have affliction in the flesh, and I would spare you.

But he who stands firm in his heart, not having necessity, but has authority concerning his own will, and has decided this in his own heart, to keep his own virgin, he will do well.

If anyone thinks he knows anything, he has not yet known as it is necessary to know.

For if someone should see you who has knowledge reclining for a meal in an idol's temple, will not his conscience, [because it] is weak, be strengthened so that [he] eats the food sacrificed to idols?

Temptation has not come upon you except [what is] common to humanity. But God [is] faithful, who will not permit you to be tempted beyond what you are able, but will also make a way out together with the temptation, [so that you] may be able to endure [it].

For just as the body is one and has many members, but all the members of the body, [although they] are many, are one body, thus also Christ.

But now God has placed the members, each one of them, in the body just as he wanted.

and whom God has appointed in the church: first, apostles, second, prophets, third, teachers, then miracles, then gifts of healing, helps, administrations, kinds of tongues.

{Therefore what should you do}, brothers? Whenever you come together, each one of you has a psalm, has a teaching, has a revelation, has a tongue, has an interpretation. All [things] must be [done] for edification.

Or has the word of God gone out from you, or has it come to you only?

But by the grace of God I am what I am, and his grace to me has not been in vain, but I labored even more than all of them, and not I, but the grace of God with me.

But if [there] is no resurrection of the dead, Christ has not been raised [either].

But if Christ has not been raised, then our preaching [is] in vain, and your faith [is] in vain.

For if the dead are not raised, Christ has not been raised [either].

But if Christ has not been raised, your faith [is] empty; you are still in your sins.

But now Christ has been raised from the dead, the first fruits of those who have fallen asleep.

then the end, when he hands over the kingdom to the God and Father, when he has abolished all rule and all authority and power.

For it is necessary for him to reign until he has put all his enemies under his feet.

On the first [day] of the week, each one of you {put aside} [something], saving up {to whatever extent he has prospered}, in order that whenever I come, at that time collections do not take place.

for a great and effective door has opened for me, and [there are] many opponents.

Now concerning Apollos our brother, I urged him many [times] that he should come to you with the brothers, and he was not at all willing that he should come now, but he will come whenever he has [an] opportunity.
