just as the testimony about Christ has been confirmed in you,

so that, just as it is written, "The one who boasts, let him boast in the Lord."

But just as it is written, "[Things] which eye has not seen and ear has not heard, and have not entered into the heart of man, all that God has prepared for those who love him."

So, for my part, brothers, I could not treat you as spiritual persons; I had to treat you just as creatures of flesh and blood, as babies in Christian living.

If the structure which one builds is burned up, he will get no pay; and yet he himself will be saved, but just as one who goes through a fire.

Because of this, I have sent to you Timothy, who is my dear and faithful child in the Lord, who will remind you of my ways in Christ Jesus, just as I teach everywhere in every church.

For even though I am absent physically, I am present in spirit. And I have already judged the one who did this, just as though I were present.

Your boasting [over the supposed spirituality of your church] is not good [indeed, it is vulgar and inappropriate]. Do you not know that [just] a little leaven ferments the whole batch [of dough, just as a little sin corrupts a person or an entire church]?

Clean out the old leaven in order that you may be a new batch of dough, just as you are unleavened. For Christ our Passover has been sacrificed.

But the person who is joined to the Lord is one spirit [with Him]. [Note: Just as the person who has sex with someone enters a close physical union with that person, so the person who becomes a Christian enters a close spiritual union with Christ].

I should like to have everyone be just as I am myself; but each one has his own special gift from God, one of one kind, and one of another.

But a slave who is called to be in the Lord is a freedman of the Lord. Just as a free man who is called is a slave of Christ

Well, what I think is this: that, considering the imminent distress in these days, it would be an excellent plan for you to remain just as you are.

For even if after all [there] are so-called gods, whether in heaven or on earth, just as [there] are many gods and many lords,

Now these [things] happened [as] examples for us, so that we should not be desirers of evil [things], just as those also desired [them],

and not become idolaters, as some of them [did], just as it is written, "The people sat down to eat and drink, and stood up to play,"

nor grumble, just as some of them grumbled, and were destroyed by the destroyer.

just as I please everyone in all things [as much as possible adapting myself to the interests of others], not seeking my own benefit but that of the many, so that they [will be open to the message of salvation and] may be saved.

Become imitators of me, just as I also [am] of Christ.

I praise and appreciate you because you remember me in everything and you firmly hold to the traditions [the substance of my instructions], just as I have passed them on to you.

and any woman who offers prayer or explains the will of God bareheaded disgraces her head, for it is just as though she had her head shaved.

For just as the woman [is] from the man, thus also the man [is] through the woman. But all [things] [are] from God.

You know that there was a time when you were Gentiles, going astray after idols that could not speak, just as you happened to be led.

But in all these [things] one and the same Spirit is at work, distributing to each one individually just as he wishes.

For just as the body is one and yet has many parts, and all the parts, though many, form [only] one body, so it is with Christ.

But now [as things really are], God has placed and arranged the parts in the body, each one of them, just as He willed and saw fit [with the best balance of function].

just as the parts we consider rather dishonourable are the very parts we invest with special honour; our indecorous parts get a special care and attention

For now we see through a mirror {indirectly}, but then face to face. Now I know in part, but then I will know completely, just as I have also been completely known.

So it is with you; unless in your ecstatic speaking you speak a message that is clearly intelligible, how can the message spoken by you be understood? You might just as well be talking to the air!

the women should be silent in the churches, for they are not authorized to speak, but are to take a subordinate place, as the Law says.

And, last of all, just as if unto the unseasonable birth, he appeared, even unto me;

For just as in Adam all die, so also in Christ all will be made alive.

But God gives to it a body just as he wishes, and to each one of the seeds its own body.

Just as earthly people are like the man who came from dust; so heavenly people are like the man who came from heaven.

Just as we have borne the image of the earthly [the man of dust], we will also bear the image of the heavenly [the Man of heaven].

Now concerning the collection for the saints: just as I gave directions about [it] to the churches of Galatia, so you do also.

If Timothy comes, see to it that [you put him at ease, so that] he has nothing to fear in regard to you, for he is [devotedly] doing the Lord’s work, just as I am.
