For it hath been signified unto me concerning you, my brethren, by them that are of the household of Chloe, that there are contentions among you.

Where is the wise? where is the scribe? where is the disputer of this world? hath not God made foolish the wisdom of the world?

but we speak God's wisdom in a mystery, even the wisdom that hath been hidden, which God foreordained before the worlds unto our glory:

which none of the rulers of this world hath known: for had they known it, they would not have crucified the Lord of glory:

For who hath known the mind of the Lord, that he should instruct him? But we have the mind of Christ.

For, I think, God hath set forth us the apostles last of all, as men doomed to death: for we are made a spectacle unto the world, both to angels and men.

It is actually reported that there is fornication among you, and such fornication as is not even among the Gentiles, that one of you hath his father's wife.

For I verily, being absent in body but present in spirit, have already as though I were present judged him that hath so wrought this thing,

Purge out the old leaven, that ye may be a new lump, even as ye are unleavened. For our passover also hath been sacrificed, even Christ:

The wife hath not power over her own body, but the husband: and likewise also the husband hath not power over his own body, but the wife.

Yet I would that all men were even as I myself. Howbeit each man hath his own gift from God, one after this manner, and another after that.

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

And the woman that hath an unbelieving husband, and he is content to dwell with her, let her not leave her husband.

Yet if the unbelieving departeth, let him depart: the brother or the sister is not under bondage in such cases : but God hath called us in peace.

Only, as the Lord hath distributed to each man, as God hath called each, so let him walk. And so ordain I in all the churches.

Was any man called being circumcised? Let him not become uncircumcised. Hath any been called in uncircumcision? Let him not be circumcised.

Now concerning virgins I have no commandment of the Lord: but I give my judgment, as one that hath obtained mercy of the Lord to be trustworthy.

But shouldest thou marry, thou hast not sinned; and if a virgin marry, she hath not sinned. Yet such shall have tribulation in the flesh: and I would spare you.

But he that standeth stedfast in his heart, having no necessity, but hath power as touching in his own heart, to keep his own virgin daughter , shall do well.

There hath no temptation taken you but such as man can bear: but God is faithful, who will not suffer you to be tempted above that ye are able; but will with the temptation make also the way of escape, that ye may be able to endure it.

But if any man say unto you, This hath been offered in sacrifice, eat not, for his sake that showed it, and for conscience sake:

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

But now hath God set the members each one of them in the body, even as it pleased him.

And God hath set some in the church, first apostles, secondly prophets, thirdly teachers, then miracles, then gifts of healings, helps, governments, divers kinds of tongues.

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

and that he was buried; and that he hath been raised on the third day according to the scriptures;

Now if Christ is preached that he hath been raised 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 hath Christ been raised:

and if Christ hath not been raised, then is our preaching vain, your faith also is vain.

For if the dead are not raised, neither hath Christ been raised:

and if Christ hath not been raised, your faith is vain; ye are yet in your sins.

But now hath Christ been raised from the dead, the firstfruits of them that are asleep.

For he must reign, till he hath put all his enemies under his feet.
