These things, brethren, I have by a figure transferred to myself and Apollos, for your sakes; that ye may learn in us, not to think of men above what is here written, that ye may not be puffed up for one above another.

Now some are puffed up, as if I would not come to you.

But I will come to you shortly, if the Lord permit, and will know, not the speech of them who are puffed up, but the power.

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

And God hath both raised up the Lord, and will also raise us up by his power.

But this I say, brethren, the time is short: it remaineth, that even they that have wives, be as if they had none: And they that weep, as if they wept not;

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

Neither be ye idolaters, as were some of them, as it is written, The people sat down to eat and drink, and rose up to play.

And though I give all my goods to feed the poor, and deliver up my body to be burned, and have not love, it profiteth me nothing.

Love suffereth long and is kind; love envieth not; love acteth not rashly, is not puffed up:

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.

So when this corruptible shall have put on incorruption, and this mortal shall have put on immortality, then shall be brought to pass the saying that is written, Death is swallowed up in victory.
