That as it is written, He that glorieth, let him glory in the Lord.

But the natural man receiveth not the things of the Spirit; for they are foolishness to him: neither can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned.

But the spiritual man discerneth all things, while he himself is discerned by no man.

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

So then, neither is he that planteth any thing, nor he that watereth; but God that giveth the increase.

But he that planteth and he that watereth are one; and every one shall receive his own reward, according to his own labour.

According to the grace of God given to me, as a wise master-builder I have laid the foundation, and another buildeth thereon; but let every one take heed how he buildeth thereon.

wood, hay, stubble, Every one's work shall be made manifest;

If any one's work which he hath built thereon shall remain, he shall receive a reward.

If any one's work shall be burnt, he shall suffer loss, but himself shall be saved, yet so as through the fire.

Let none deceive himself: if any one among you thinketh himself to be wise, let him become a fool in this world, that he may become wise.

For the wisdom of this world is foolishness with God; as it is written, He taketh the wise in their own craftiness.

For I am not conscious to myself of any thing, yet am I not hereby justified; but he that judgeth me is the Lord.

And are ye puffed up? Have ye not rather mourned, that he who hath done this deed, might be taken from among you?

How much more things pertaining to this life? If then ye have any controversies of things pertaining to this life, do ye set them to judge who are of no esteem in the church?

God forbid. Know ye not, that he who is joined to an harlot is one body? For they two, saith he, shall be one flesh.

But he that is joined to the Lord is one Spirit.

Flee fornication. Every sin that a man doth, is without the body; but he that committeth fornication, sinneth against his own body.

For how knowest thou, O wife, but thou mayst save thy husband? or how knowest thou, O husband, but thou mayst save thy wife?

Let every one in the calling wherein he is called, therein abide.

For he that is called by the Lord, being a servant, is the Lord's freeman; and in like manner, he that is called being free, is the servant of Christ.

Brethren, let every one wherein he is called, therein abide with God.

I apprehend therefore, that this is good for the present distress, that it is good for a man to continue as he is.

The unmarried man careth for the things of the Lord, how he may please the Lord.

But the married careth for 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 careth for the things of the Lord, that she may be holy both in body and spirit: but the married careth for the things of the world, how she may please her husband.

But if any think that he acteth indecently toward his virgin, if she be above age, and need so require, let him do what he will, he sinneth not: let them marry.

Nevertheless, he that standeth stedfast in his heart, having no necessity, but having power over his own will, and hath determined this in his heart to keep his virgin, doth well.

So then he also that giveth in marriage, doth well; but he that giveth not in marriage, doth better.

Knowledge puffeth up, but love edifieth. And if any one think he knoweth any thing, he knoweth nothing yet as he ought to know.

But if any one love God, he is known by him. I say, as to the eating of things sacrificed to idols,

Or speaketh he chiefly for our sakes? surely for our sakes it was written: for he who ploweth, ought to plow in hope; and he that thresheth in hope, ought to be a partaker of his hope.

Therefore let him that standeth, take heed, lest he fall.

Do we provoke the Lord to jealousy? are we stronger than he?

I praise you not. For I received from the Lord what I also delivered to you, that the Lord Jesus the night in which he was betrayed,

took bread, And when he had given thanks, he brake it, and said, Take, eat, this is my body, which is broken for you; do this in remembrance of me.

In like manner also he took the cup after he had supped, saying, This cup is the new covenant in my blood: do this as often as ye drink it, in remembrance of me.

Therefore as often as ye eat this bread, and drink this cup, ye shew forth the Lord's death, till he come.

For he that eateth and drinketh unworthily, eateth and drinketh judgment to himself, not distinguishing the Lord's body.

But one and the same Spirit worketh all these, dividing to every one severally as he willeth.

For he that speaketh in an unknown tongue, speaketh not to men, but to God; for no one understandeth him, though by the Spirit he speaketh mysteries:

Whereas he that prophesieth, speaketh to men to edification, and exhortation, and comfort.

He that speaketh in an unknown tongue, edifieth himself; but he that prophesieth, edifieth the church.

I would that ye all spake with tongues, but rather that ye prophesied; for he that prophesieth, is greater than he that speaketh with tongues, unless he interpret, that the church may receive edification.

So inanimate things which give a sound, whether pipe or harp, unless they give a distinction in the sounds, how shall it be known what is piped or harped?

So likewise unless ye utter by the tongue words easy to be understood, how shall it be known what is spoken? For ye will speak to the air.

Yet if I know not the meaning of the language, I shall be a barbarian to him that speaketh, and he that speaketh will be a barbarian to me.

Therefore let him that speaketh in an unknown tongue, pray that he may interpret.

Otherwise if thou givest thanks with the Spirit, how shall he that filleth the place of a private person, say Amen to thy thanksgiving, seeing he understandeth not what thou sayest?

Whereas if all prophesy, and there come in an unbeliever, or an ignorant person, he is convicted by all, he is judged by all:

The secrets of his heart are made manifest, and so falling down on his face, he will worship God, and declare that God is among you of a truth.

according to the scriptures, And that he was buried, and that he was raised the third day according to the scriptures: And that he was seen by Cephas, then by the twelve.

Afterwards he was seen by above five hundred brethren at once,

After this he was seen by James, then by all the apostles.

Last of all he was seen by me also, as an untimely birth.

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

Yea, and we are found false witnesses of God, because we testified from God, that he raised up Christ, whom he did not raise, if the dead rise not.

Then cometh the end, when he shall have delivered up the kingdom to God, even the Father, when he shall have abolished all rule and all authority and power.

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

The last enemy that is destroyed is death. For he hath put all things under his feet.

But when he saith, All things are put under him, it is manifest that he who did put all things under him is excepted.

But some one will say, How are the dead raised? And with what body do they come?

On the first day of the week, let every one of you lay by him in store according as he hath been prospered, that there may be no collections when I come.

But if Timotheus come, see that he be with you without fear; for he laboureth in the work of the Lord, even as I.

Therefore let no man despise him, but conduct him forward on his journey in peace, that he may come to me; for I look for him with the brethren.

As to our brother Apollos, I besought him much, to come to you with the brethren; yet he was by no means willing to come now; but he will come, when it shall be convenient.
