If others be partakers of this power over you, are not we rather? Nevertheless we have not used this power; but suffer all things, lest we should hinder the gospel of Christ.

for Christ did not send me to baptize: but to preach the gospel: tho' not with the preaching of the wise, lest the cross of Christ should have been hinder'd in its efficacy.

For it is written [Isa. 29:14], "I [i.e., God] will destroy the wisdom of wise people, and will set aside [i.e., hinder] the understanding of intelligent people."

If the whole body were an eye, what part would do the hearing? If the whole were an ear, what part would exercise the sense of smell?

For the body is not one part, but a number of parts.

For our comely parts have no need: but God hath tempered the body together, having given more abundant honour to that part which lacked:

And if all the parts were one part, how could there be a [whole] body?

God is true, through whom you have been given a part with his Son, Jesus Christ our Lord.

Have you not knowledge that evil-doers will have no part in the kingdom of God? Have no false ideas about this: no one who goes after the desires of the flesh, or gives worship to images, or is untrue when married, or is less than a man, or makes a wrong use of men,

Or is a thief, or the worse for drink, or makes use of strong language, or takes by force what is not his, will have any part in the kingdom of God.

And every man who takes part in the sports has self-control in all things. Now they do it to get a crown which is of this world, but we for an eternal crown.

Because we, being a number of persons, are one bread, we are one body: for we all take part in the one bread.

What I say is that the things offered by the Gentiles are offered to evil spirits and not to God; and it is not my desire for you to have any part with evil spirits.

It is not possible for you, at the same time, to take the cup of the Lord and the cup of evil spirits; you may not take part in the table of the Lord and the table of evil spirits.

Every man who takes part in prayer, or gives teaching as a prophet, with his head covered, puts shame on his head.

Be judges yourselves of the question: does it seem right for a woman to take part in prayer unveiled?

For first of all, it has come to my ears that when you come together in the church, there are divisions among you, and I take the statement to be true in part.

For a man puts himself in danger, if he takes part in the holy meal without being conscious that it is the Lord's body.

But, as soon as that which is complete is come, that which is in part, shall be done away.

I am glad of the coming of Stephanas and Fortunatus and Achaicus: for that which was lacking on your part they have supplied.

for you are still subject to your passions. since envy, and strife, and divisions are among you, are you not actuated by the vices of the animal part?
