that, according as it is written, "He that glorieth, let him glory in the Lord."

According to the grace of God bestowed on me, I, as a skilful masterbuilder, have laid the foundation; and another buildeth thereon; but let every one take heed, how he buildeth thereon.

For other foundation can no one lay than that which is laid, which is Christ Jesus.

Let no one deceive himself; if any one thinketh himself wise among you in this world, let him become a fool, that he may become wise.

So then let no one glory in men. For all things are yours;

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

So then judge nothing before the time, until the Lord come, who will both bring to light the hidden things of darkness, and make manifest the purposes of mens hearts; and then shall every one have his praise from God.

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

but on account of the commonness of fornication, let every man have his own wife, and every woman her own husband.

Let the husband render to his wife her due; and so also the wife to her husband.

but if they cannot control themselves, let them marry; for it is better to marry than to burn.

But to those who are married it is my command, yet not mine, but the Lords: Let not the wife separate herself from her husband,

and if she have separated herself let her remain unmarried, or be reconciled to her husband; and let not the husband put away his wife.

But to the rest say I, not the Lord: If any brother hath an unbelieving wife, and she be satisfied to dwell with him, let him not put her away;

and if a wife hath an unbelieving husband, and he be satisfied to dwell with her, let her not put her husband away.

But if the unbelieving separateth himself, let him separate himself; a brother or a sister is not under bondage in such cases. But God hath called you to be in peace.

But let every one continue to walk in the lot which the Lord appointed him, in the condition in which God called him. And this direction I give in all the churches.

Was any one called being circumcised, let him not become as if uncircumcised; hath any one been called in uncircumcision, let him not become circumcised.

Let every one remain in the same calling in which he was called.

In that state, brethren, in which he was called, let every one remain with God.

But if any one thinketh that he behaveth improperly in respect to his virgin [daughter], if she pass the flower of her age [without being married], and if it must be so, let him do what he will, he committeth no sin; let them marry.

but with most of them God was not well pleased; for they were laid low in the wilderness.

Nor let us commit fornication, as some of them did, and fell in one day three and twenty thousand.

Nor let us tempt Christ, as some of them tempted, and were destroyed by the serpents.

Wherefore let him that thinketh he standeth, take heed lest he fall.

Let no one seek his own pleasure, but the good of others.

For if a woman is not veiled, let her also be shorn; but if it be a shame for a woman to be shorn or shaven, let her be veiled.

But let a man examine himself, and thus let him eat of the bread, and drink of the cup;

If any one hunger, let him eat at home; that ye may not come together to condemnation. And the rest I will set in order when I come.

Ye know, that when ye were gentiles, ye were carried away to dumb idols, as ye happened to be led;

Wherefore let him that speaketh in an [unknown] tongue pray that he may interpret.

How is it then, brethren? When ye come together, every one of you hath a psalm, hath a lesson of instruction, hath a revelation, hath a tongue, hath an interpretation; let all things be done for edification.

If any one speak in an [unknown] tongue, let it be by two, or, at the most, by three, and in turn; and let one interpret.

But if there be no interpreter, let him keep silence in the church; and let him speak to himself, and to God.

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

if anything be revealed to another that sitteth by, let the first speaker be silent.

let your women keep silence in the churches; for it is not permitted them to speak, but they are to be in subjection, as also saith the Law.

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

If any one thinketh himself to be a prophet, or spiritual, let him know surely that the directions I am writing to you are the Lords;

but if any one be ignorant, let him be ignorant!

but let all things be done becomingly, and in order.

If with the views of men I fought with wild beasts at Ephesus, what advantage is it to me? If the dead rise not, "let us eat and drink, for tomorrow we die."

Every first day of the week let each of you lay by him something in store, according as he hath prospered; that the collections may not have to be made when I come.

let no one therefore despise him. But conduct him on in peace, that he may come to me; for I am waiting for him with the brethren.

let all your doings be in love.

If any one loveth not the Lord, let him be accursed! The Lord is at hand.
