that in everything you were enriched in Him, in all speech and all knowledge,

so that, just as it is written, “Let him who boasts, boast in the Lord.”

For I determined to know nothing among you except Jesus Christ, and Him crucified.

but just as it is written,
“Things which eye has not seen and ear has not heard,
And which have not entered the heart of man,
All that God has prepared for those who love Him.”

For who among men knows the thoughts of a man except the spirit of the man which is in him? Even so the thoughts of God no one knows except the Spirit of God.

But a natural man does not accept the things of the Spirit of God, for they are foolishness to him; and he cannot understand them, because they are spiritually appraised.

For who has known the mind of the Lord, that he will instruct Him? But we have the mind of Christ.

If any man destroys the temple of God, God will destroy him, for the temple of God is holy, and that is what you are.

Therefore do not go on passing judgment before the time, but wait until the Lord comes who will both bring to light the things hidden in the darkness and disclose the motives of men’s hearts; and then each man’s praise will come to him from God.

For I, on my part, though absent in body but present in spirit, have already judged him who has so committed this, as though I were present.

But the one who joins himself to the Lord is one spirit with Him.

But to the rest I say, not the Lord, that if any brother has a wife who is an unbeliever, and she consents to live with him, he must not divorce her.

Yet if the unbelieving one leaves, let him leave; the brother or the sister is not under bondage in such cases, but God has called us to peace.

Only, as the Lord has assigned to each one, as God has called each, in this manner let him walk. And so I direct in all the churches.

But if any man thinks that he is acting unbecomingly toward his virgin daughter, if she is past her youth, and if it must be so, let him do what he wishes, he does not sin; let her marry.

but if anyone loves God, he is known by Him.

yet for us there is but one God, the Father, from whom are all things and we exist for Him; and one Lord, Jesus Christ, by whom are all things, and we exist through Him.

Therefore let him who thinks he stands take heed that he does not fall.

Does not even nature itself teach you that if a man has long hair, it is a dishonor to him,

If anyone is hungry, let him eat at home, so that you will not come together for judgment. The remaining matters I will arrange when I come.

but if there is no interpreter, he must keep silent in the church; and let him speak to himself and to God.

If anyone thinks he is a prophet or spiritual, let him recognize that the things which I write to you are the Lord’s commandment.

For He has put all things in subjection under His feet. But when He says, “All things are put in subjection,” it is evident that He is excepted who put all things in subjection to Him.

When all things are subjected to Him, then the Son Himself also will be subjected to the One who subjected all things to Him, so that God may be all in all.

So let no one despise him. But send him on his way in peace, so that he may come to me; for I expect him with the brethren.

But concerning Apollos our brother, I encouraged him greatly to come to you with the brethren; and it was not at all his desire to come now, but he will come when he has opportunity.
