to the church of God at Corinth, to those who are consecrated by union with Christ Jesus, and called as God's people, like all those anywhere who call on the name of Jesus Christ, their Lord as well as ours;

because you are still fleshly. For since there is envy and strife among you, are you not fleshly and living like unbelievers?

For when one says, I am of Paul; and another says, I am of Apollos; are you not talking like natural men?

According to the grace of God given to me, like a skilled master builder I laid a foundation, and another is building upon [it]. But each one must direct his attention to how he is building upon [it].

If anyone’s work is burned up, it will be lost, but he will be saved; yet it will be like an escape through fire.

You have already a sufficiency, you already abound, you live like princes in our absence: and would to God you did reign, that we too might have the advantage of your administration.

For I think God has displayed us, the apostles, in last place, like men condemned to die: We have become a spectacle to the world and to angels and to men.

But now I am writing to you to stop associating with any so-called brother if he is sexually immoral, greedy, an idolater, a slanderer, a drunk, or a robber. You must even stop eating with someone like that.

And some of you used to be like this. But you were washed, you were sanctified, you were justified in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ and by the Spirit of our God.

Unto the wife, let the husband render what is her due, and, in like manner, the wife also, unto the husband, -

I wish that all people were just like me. But each has his own gift from God, one person in this way and another in that way.

Now to those people who are not married [Note: This probably refers to all unmarried people, and not just to widowers, as some think], or who are widows, I say it is [a] good [idea] for them to remain like me [i.e., single. See verse

But as to the other cases, which were not decided by the Lord; I say, if any brother has a pagan wife, who likes to live with him, let him not put her away.

and if a woman has a pagan husband, who likes to live with her, let her not leave him.

For, he who in the Lord was called, being a bond-servant, is, a freed-man of the Lord: in like manner, he that was called being, a freeman, is Christ's bond-servant: -

But if you do marry, there is no sin in that. And if a girl marries, it is no sin. But those who marry will have worldly trouble, which I would like to spare you.

those with tears like those not weeping, those who rejoice like those not rejoicing, those who buy like those without possessions,

Now when you sin like this against the brothers and wound their weak conscience, you are sinning against Christ.

In like manner also did the Lord ordain that they who preach the gospel should live from the gospel.

To the Jews I became like a Jew, to win Jews; to those under the law, like one under the law—though I myself am not under the law—to win those under the law.

To those who are without that law, like one without the law—not being without God’s law but within Christ’s law—to win those without the law.

I behaved like a weak person in front of weak people [See 8:9-12], in order to win them over [i.e., to help them become stronger]. I have become all things to all people so that, in every way, I could save some of them.

Do you not know that those who run in a race all run, but one receives the prize? Run like that, that you may win.

Therefore I do not run like one who runs aimlessly or box like one beating the air.

And you must not be idolaters like some of them. as it is written, The people sat down to eat and drink, And they rose up for idol dances.

Let us not practice immorality, like some of them, twenty-three thousand of whom fell dead in one day,

But I would like you to understand this: Christ is the head of every man, man is the head of woman, and God is the head of Christ.

While any woman, who prays or preaches in public bare-headed, dishonors him who is her Head; for that is to make herself like one of the shameless women who shave their heads.

For just as woman was made from man, man is born of woman, and both like everything else really come from God.

But if anyone wants to argue about this, we do not have any custom like this, nor do any of God's churches.

for it is his own supper of which each of you is in a hurry to partake, and one eats like a hungry man, while another has already drunk to excess.

In like manner also the cup after the supping, saying, 'This cup is the new covenant in my blood; this do ye, as often as ye may drink it -- to the remembrance of me;'

On the contrary, those parts of the body which seem to be weaker [i.e., delicate organs like the heart, lungs, kidneys, etc.] are necessary [for life].

I spoke like a child,
I thought like a child,
I reasoned like a child.
When I became a man,

In like manner, the things without life giving sound, whether pipe or harp, if, a distinction in the sounds, they do not give, how shall it be known, what is being piped or harped?

in like manner, if you express yourselves in words of obscure signification, you may as well talk to the wind, for how shall any comprehend you?

But if the sense of the voice is not clear to me, I am like a man from a strange country to him who is talking, and he will be the same to me.

Brethren, be not childish in understanding: be as innocent as babes, but use your understanding like men.

It is just like this with the resurrection of the dead.

Like the man made of dust,
so are those who are made of dust;
like the heavenly man,
so are those who are heavenly.

I beg you to put yourselves under leaders like these, and under anyone who cooperates with you, and labors hard.

For they refreshed my spirit and yours. Therefore acknowledge those who are like that.
