But as it is written, Eye has not seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of man, the things which God has prepared for them that love him.

Whether Paul, or Apollos, or Cephas, or the world, or life, or death, or things present, or things to come; all are yours;

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

Know you not that we shall judge angels? how much more things that pertain to this life?

If then you have judgments of things pertaining to this life, set them to judge who are least esteemed in the church.

Now concerning things offered unto idols, we know that we all have knowledge. Knowledge puffs up, but love edifies.

Do you not know that they who minister about holy things live of the things of the temple? and they who wait at the altar are partakers with the altar?

Even so has the Lord ordained that they who preach the gospel should live of the gospel.

Though I speak with the tongues of men and of angels, and have not love, I am become as sounding brass, or a clanging cymbal.

And though I have the gift of prophecy, and understand all mysteries, and all knowledge; and though I have all faith, so that I could remove mountains, and have not love, I am nothing.

And though I bestow all my goods to feed the poor, and though I give my body to be burned, and have not love, it profits me nothing.

Love suffers long, and is kind; love envies not; love vaunts not itself, is not puffed up,

Love never fails: but whether there be prophecies, they shall fail; whether there be tongues, they shall cease; whether there be knowledge, it shall vanish away.

And now abides faith, hope, love, these three; but the greatest of these is love.

Follow after love, and desire spiritual gifts, but rather that you may prophesy.

And even things without life which give sound, whether flute or harp, except they give a distinction in the sounds, how shall it be known what is played?

If in this life only we have hope in Christ, we are of all men most to be pitied.

And so it is written, The first man Adam was made a living soul; the last Adam was made a life-giving spirit.

Let all your things be done with love.

If any man love not the Lord Jesus Christ, let him be Anathema Maranatha.

My love be with you all in Christ Jesus. Amen.
