Now these things, brethren, I have transferred, in their application, to myself and Apollos, for your sakes, that ye may learn in us the lesson of not letting your thoughts go above what is written, that ye may not be puffed up one for such a one against another.

But some have been puffed up, as if I were not coming to you;

but I will come quickly to you, if the Lord will; and I will know, not the word of those that are puffed up, but the power.

And ye are puffed up, and ye have not rather mourned, in order that he that has done this deed might be taken away out of the midst of you.

And God has both raised up the Lord, and will raise us up from among the dead by his power.

and they that weep, as not weeping; and they that rejoice, as not rejoicing; and they that buy, as not possessing;

For I received from the Lord, that which I also delivered to you, that the Lord Jesus, in the night in which he was delivered up, took bread,

And if I shall dole out all my goods in food, and if I deliver up my body that I may be burned, but have not love, I profit nothing.

Love has long patience, is kind; love is not emulous of others; love is not insolent and rash, is not puffed up,

Awake up righteously, and sin not; for some are ignorant of God: I speak to you as a matter of shame.

But when this corruptible shall have put on incorruptibility, and this mortal shall have put on immortality, then shall come to pass the word written: Death has been swallowed up in victory.

On the first of the week let each of you put by at home, laying up in whatever degree he may have prospered, that there may be no collections when I come.
