It is what Scripture speaks of as-'What eye never saw, nor ear ever heard, what never entered the mind of man-even all that God has prepared for those who love him.'

Whether Paul, or Apollos, or Kephas, or the world, or life, or death, or the present, or the future-all things are yours!

Do not you know that we are to try angels-to say nothing of the affairs of this life?

Why, then, if you have cases relating to the affairs of this life, do you set to try them men who carry no weight with the Church? To your shame I ask it.

Do not deprive each other of what is due-unless it is only for a time and by mutual consent, so that your minds may be free for prayer till you again live as man and wife-lest Satan should take advantage of your want of self-control and tempt you.

To all others I say-I, not the Master-If a Brother is married to a woman, who is an unbeliever but willing to live with him, he should not divorce her;

And a woman who is married to a man, who is an unbeliever but willing to live with her, should not divorce her husband.

However, if the unbeliever wishes to be separated, let him be so. Under such circumstances neither the Brother nor the Sister is bound; God has called you to live in peace.

In any case, a man should continue to live in the condition which the Lord has allotted to him, and in which he was when God called him. This is the rule that I lay down in every Church.

Let every one remain in that condition of life in which he was when the Call came to him.

What I mean, Brothers, is this-The time is short. Meanwhile, let those who have wives live as if they had none,

With reference to food that has been offered in sacrifice to idols-We are aware that all of us have knowledge! Knowledge breeds conceit, while love builds up character.

Yet for us there is only one God, the Father, from whom all things come (and for him we live), and one Lord, Jesus Christ, through whom all things come (and through him we live).

Do not you know that those who do the work of the Temple live on what comes from the Temple, and that those who serve at the altar share the offerings with the altar?

Though I speak in the 'tongues' of men, or even of angels, yet have not Love, I have become mere echoing brass, or a clanging cymbal!

Even though I have the gift of preaching, and fathom all hidden truths and all the depths of knowledge; even though I have such faith as might move mountains, yet have not Love, I am nothing!

Even though I dole my substance to the poor, even though I sacrifice my body, that I may boast, yet have not Love, it avails me nothing!

Love is long-suffering, and kind; Love is never envious, never boastful, never conceited, never behaves unbecomingly;

Love is never self-seeking, never provoked, never reckons up her wrongs;

Love never rejoices at evil, but rejoices in the triumph of Truth;

Love bears with all things, every trustful, ever hopeful, ever patient.

Love never fails. But, whether it be the gift of preaching, it will be done with; whether it be the gift of 'tongues,' it will cease; whether it be knowledge, it, too, will be done with.

Meanwhile Faith, Hope, and Love endure-these three, but the greatest of these is Love.

Seek this Love earnestly, and strive for spiritual gifts, above all for the gift of preaching.

But it is through the love of God that I am what I am, and the love that he showed me has not been wasted. No, I have toiled harder than any of them, and yet it was not I, but the love of God working with me.

If all that we have done has been to place our hope in Christ for this life, then we of all men are the most to be pitied.

For, as through union with Adam all men die, so through union with the Christ will all be made to live.

Awake to a righteous life, and cease to sin. There are some who have no true knowledge of God. I speak in this way to shame you.

You foolish man! The seed you yourself sow does not come to life, unless it dies!

All forms of life are not the same; there is one for men, another for beasts, another for birds, and another for fishes.

That is what is meant by the words-'Adam, the first man, became a human being'; the last Adam became a Life-giving spirit.

Accursed be any one who has no love for the Lord. THE LORD IS COMING.

My love to all of you who are in union with Christ Jesus.
