But, as has been written, the things which eye has not seen, and ear has not heard, and has not entered into the heart of man, the things which God has prepared for those who love Him.

whether Paul, or Apollos, or Cephas, or the world, or life, or death, or things present, or things to come.

What do you wish? must I come unto you with the rod, or in divine love and the spirit of meekness?

Do you not know that we shall judge angels, not indeed matters of this life?

Then if indeed you have judgments appertaining to this life, do you sit those down who are little esteemed in the church?

But I say to the rest, not the Lord, if any brother has an unbelieving wife, and she is willing to live with him, let him not send her away.

And if any wife has an unbelieving husband, and he is willing to live with her, let her not send away her husband.

A wife has been given so long a time as her husband may live; but if her husband may die, she is free to be married to whom she will; only in the Lord.

But concerning things offered to idols: we know that we all have knowledge. Knowledge puffs up, but divine love builds up.

So also the Lord has commanded those preaching the gospel to live of the gospel.

If I may speak with the tongues of men and of angels, and have not divine love, I have become a sounding brass, or a tinkling cymbal.

And if I have the gift of prophecy, and understand all mysteries, and all knowledge; and if I have all faith, so as to remove mountains, and have not divine love, I am nothing.

And if I give all my goods to feed the poor, and if I may give my body that I shall be burnt, and have not divine love, I am profited as to nothing.

Divine love suffers long; divine love is kind; divine love envies not; does not make a display of itself, is not puffed up,

Divine love never falls: but whether there are prophecies, they shall be done away; whether there are tongues, they shall cease; whether there is knowledge, it shall vanish away.

But now abide faith, hope, divine love, these three; but the greatest of these is divine love.

Follow after divine love; and seek the spiritual gifts, but rather that you may prophesy.

Nevertheless things without life, giving forth a voice, whether pipe or harp, if it may not give a distinction to the sounds, how shall it be known what is piped, or what is harped?

If in this life only we have hope in Christ, we are of all men the most pitiable.

As indeed it has been written; The first man Adam was made a living soul; the last man Adam, a life-creating spirit.

Let all your affairs be in divine love.

My love with you all in Christ Jesus.
