so that, just as it is written, “Let him who boasts, boast in the Lord.”

Let no man deceive himself. If any man among you thinks that he is wise in this age, he must become foolish, so that he may become wise.

So then let no one boast in men. For all things belong to you,

Let a man regard us in this manner, as servants of Christ and stewards of the mysteries of God.

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

But if they do not have self-control, let them marry; for it is better to marry than to burn with passion.

Yet if the unbelieving one leaves, let him leave; the brother or the sister is not under bondage in such cases, but God has called us to peace.

Only, as the Lord has assigned to each one, as God has called each, in this manner let him walk. And so I direct in all the churches.

But if any man thinks that he is acting unbecomingly toward his virgin daughter, if she is past her youth, and if it must be so, let him do what he wishes, he does not sin; let her marry.

Nor let us act immorally, as some of them did, and twenty-three thousand fell in one day.

Nor let us try the Lord, as some of them did, and were destroyed by the serpents.

Therefore let him who thinks he stands take heed that he does not fall.

Let no one seek his own good, but that of his neighbor.

For if a woman does not cover her head, let her also have her hair cut off; but if it is disgraceful for a woman to have her hair cut off or her head shaved, let her cover her head.

If anyone is hungry, let him eat at home, so that you will not come together for judgment. The remaining matters I will arrange when I come.

Therefore let one who speaks in a tongue pray that he may interpret.

What is the outcome then, brethren? When you assemble, each one has a psalm, has a teaching, has a revelation, has a tongue, has an interpretation. Let all things be done for edification.

but if there is no interpreter, he must keep silent in the church; and let him speak to himself and to God.

Let two or three prophets speak, and let the others pass judgment.

If they desire to learn anything, let them ask their own husbands at home; for it is improper for a woman to speak in church.

If anyone thinks he is a prophet or spiritual, let him recognize that the things which I write to you are the Lord’s commandment.

If from human motives I fought with wild beasts at Ephesus, what does it profit me? If the dead are not raised, let us eat and drink, for tomorrow we die.

So let no one despise him. But send him on his way in peace, so that he may come to me; for I expect him with the brethren.

Let all that you do be done in love.
