that according as it is written, He that boasts, let him boast in the Lord.

According to the grace of God which has been given to me, as a wise architect, I have laid the foundation, but another builds upon it. But let each see how he builds upon it.

Let no one deceive himself: if any one thinks himself to be wise among you in this world, let him become foolish, that he may be wise.

So that let no one boast in men; for all things are yours.

Let a man so account of us as servants of Christ, and stewards of the mysteries of God.

so that let us celebrate the feast, not with old leaven, nor with leaven of malice and wickedness, but with unleavened bread of sincerity and truth.

but on account of fornications, let each have his own wife, and each woman have her own husband.

Let the husband render her due to the wife, and in like manner the wife to the husband.

But if they have not control over themselves, let them marry; for it is better to marry than to burn.

But to the married I enjoin, not I, but the Lord, Let not wife be separated from husband;

(but if also she shall have been separated, let her remain unmarried, or be reconciled to her husband;) and let not husband leave wife.

But as to the rest, I say, not the Lord, If any brother have an unbelieving wife, and she consent to dwell with him, let him not leave her.

And a woman who has an unbelieving husband, and he consents to dwell with her, let her not leave her husband.

But if the unbeliever go away, let them go away; a brother or a sister is not bound in such cases, but God has called us in peace.

However, as the Lord has divided to each, as God has called each, so let him walk; and thus I ordain in all the assemblies.

Has any one been called circumcised? let him not become uncircumcised: has any one been called in uncircumcision? let him not be circumcised.

Let each abide in that calling in which he has been called.

Hast thou been called being a bondman, let it not concern thee; but and if thou canst become free, use it rather.

Let each, wherein he is called, brethren, therein abide with God.

But if any one think that he behaves unseemly to his virginity, if he be beyond the flower of his age, and so it must be, let him do what he will, he does not sin: let them marry.

Neither let us commit fornication, as some of them committed fornication, and fell in one day three and twenty thousand.

Neither let us tempt the Christ, as some of them tempted, and perished by serpents.

So that let him that thinks that he stands take heed lest he fall.

Let no one seek his own advantage, but that of the other.

For if a woman be not covered, let her hair also be cut off. But if it be shameful to a woman to have her hair cut off or to be shaved, let her be covered.

But let a man prove himself, and thus eat of the bread, and drink of the cup.

If any one be hungry, let him eat at home, that ye may not come together for judgment. But the other things, whenever I come, I will set in order.

Wherefore let him that speaks with a tongue pray that he may interpret.

What is it then, brethren? whenever ye come together, each of you has a psalm, has a teaching, has a tongue, has a revelation, has an interpretation. Let all things be done to edification.

If any one speak with a tongue, let it be two, or at the most three, and separately, and let one interpret;

but if there be no interpreter, let him be silent in the assembly, and let him speak to himself and to God.

And let two or three prophets speak, and let the others judge.

But if there be a revelation to another sitting there, let the first be silent.

Let your women be silent in the assemblies, for it is not permitted to them to speak; but to be in subjection, as the law also says.

But if they wish to learn anything, let them ask their own husbands at home; for it is a shame for a woman to speak in assembly.

If any one thinks himself to be a prophet or spiritual, let him recognise the things that I write to you, that it is the Lord's commandment.

But if any be ignorant, let him be ignorant.

But let all things be done comelily and with order.

If, to speak after the manner of man, I have fought with beasts in Ephesus, what is the profit to me if those that are dead do not rise? let us eat and drink; for to-morrow we die.

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.

Let not therefore any one despise him; but set him forward in peace, that he may come to me; for I expect him with the brethren.

Let all things ye do be done in love.

If any one love not the Lord Jesus Christ let him be Anathema Maranatha.
