For it has been written, "I will destroy the wisdom of the wise, and the discernment of the discerning will I set aside."

that, even as it has been written, "He that glorieth, let him glory in the Lord."

which no one of the rulers of this age has known; for had they known it, they would not have crucified the Lord of glory;

but, as it has been written, "Things which eye saw not, and ear heard not, and that entered not into the heart of man??hatsoever things God prepared for those who love Him";

For who of men knows the things of a man, except the spirit of the man that is in him? even so the things of God no one has known, except the Spirit of God.

For the wisdom of this world is foolishness with God; for it has been written, "He Who taketh the wise in their craftiness."

The wife has not authority over her own body, but the husband; and, in like manner also, the husband has not authority over his own body, but the wife.

And I wish all men to be even as myself. Each one, however, has his own gift from God; one, indeed, after this manner, and another, after that.

But to the rest say I, not the Lord: If any brother has an unbelieving wife, and she is pleased to dwell with him, let him not leave her.

And, if any wife has an unbelieving husband, and he is pleased to dwell with her, let her not leave her husband.

For the unbelieving husband has been sanctified in the wife, and the unbelieving wife has been sanctified in the brother; else your children are unclean; but as it is they are holy.

But, if the unbelieving departs, let him depart. The brother or the sister has not come into bondage in such cases; but God hath called us in peace.

Was any one called, having been circumcised? let him not become uncircumcised. Has any one been called in uncircumcision? let him not be circumcised.

But this I say, brethren, the time has been shortened; that henceforth both those who have wives may be as though they had none;

and has become divided. And the unmarried woman and the virgin is anxious for the things of the Lord, that she may be holy both in body and spirit; but she that is married is anxious for the things of the world, that she may please her husband.

But he who has been standing steadfast in his heart, having no necessity, but has authority respecting his own will, and has determined this in his own heart, that he will keep his own virgin daughter, will do well.

If anyone thinks that he has known anything, not yet did he know it as he ought to know it;

but, if anyone loves God, the same has been known by Him:

For in the law of Moses it has been written, "You shall not muzzle an ox while treading out the grain." Doth God care for the oxen?

Neither become ye idolaters, as were some of them; as it has been written, "The people sat down to eat and drink, and rose up to play."

A temptation has not taken you, except such as is common to man; but God is faithful, Who will not suffer you to be tempted above what ye are able, but will with the temptation make also the way of escape, that ye may be able to bear it.

For, as the body is one, and has many members, and all the members of the body, being many, are one body; so also is the Christ;

In the law it has been written, "With other tongues, and with lips of others, I will speak to this people; and not even thus will they listen to Me," saith the Lord.

What is it, then, brethren? When ye come together, each one of you has a psalm, has a teaching, has a revelation, has a tongue, has an interpretation. Let all things be done unto edification.

But, if there is no resurrection of the dead, neither has Christ been raised;

So also it has been written, "The first man Adam was a living soul"; the last Adam, a life-giving Spirit.

And, when this corruptible shall put on incorruption, and this mortal shall put on immortality, then will come to pass the saying that has been written, "Death was swallowed up in victory."

for a door, great and effectual, has opened to me, and there are many adversaries.
