For you see your calling, brethren, how that not many wise men after the flesh, not many mighty, not many noble, are called:

According to the grace of God which is given unto me, as a wise master builder, I have laid the foundation, and another builds thereon. But let every man take heed how he builds thereupon.

Know you not that we shall judge angels? how much more things that pertain to this life?

For how do you know, O wife, whether you shall save your husband? or how do you know, O man, whether you shall save your wife?

But I would have you without concern. He that is unmarried cares for the things that belong to the Lord, how he may please the Lord:

But he that is married cares for the things that are of the world, how he may please his wife.

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

Moreover, brethren, I want not that you should be ignorant, how that all our fathers were under the cloud, and all passed through the sea;

And even things without life which give sound, whether flute or harp, except they give a distinction in the sounds, how shall it be known what is played?

So likewise you, except you utter by the tongue words easy to be understood, how shall it be known what is spoken? for you shall speak into the air.

Else when you shall bless with the spirit, how shall he that occupies the place of the unlearned say Amen at your giving of thanks, seeing he understands not what you said?

How is it then, brethren? when you come together, every one of you has a psalm, has a doctrine, has a tongue, has a revelation, has an interpretation. Let all things be done unto edifying.

For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures;

Now if Christ be preached that he rose from the dead, how say some among you that there is no resurrection of the dead?

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