According to the grace of God that is given to me, as a wise master-builder, I have laid the foundation, and another builds on this. But let every one take heed how he builds on this.

For how do you know, wife, but that you may save your husband? Or how do you know, husband, but that you may save your wife?

But I would have you to be without anxiety. The unmarried man is concerned about the things of the Lord, how he may please the Lord:

but he that is married, is concerned about the things of the world, how he may please his wife.

There is a difference also between a wife and a virgin. The unmarried woman is concerned about the things of the Lord, that she may be holy in body and in spirit; but she that is married, is concerned about the things of the world, how she may please her husband.

And even lifeless instruments, which produce sound, whether pipe or harp, unless they give a distinction in the notes, how shall that which is piped or harped be known?

So, also, unless you, with the tongue, utter words that are intelligible, how shall that which is spoken be known? for you will speak into the air.

Otherwise, if you bless with the spirit that is given to you, how will he that occupies the place of the unlearned man say Amen, when you give thanks, since he understands not what you say?

But, by the grace of God, I am what I am; and his grace, which was bestowed on me, has not been bestowed in vain: but I have labored more abundantly than they all; not I, how ever, but the grace of God which was with me.

But if Christ is preached that he rose from the dead, how say some among you, that a resurrection of the dead is impossible?

But some one will say: How are the dead raised up? and with what body do they come?
