but just as it is written,
“Things which eye has not seen and ear has not heard,
And which have not entered the heart of man,
All that 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; all things belong to you,

What do you desire? Shall I come to you with a rod, or with love and a spirit of gentleness?

Do you not know that we will judge angels? How much more matters of this life?

So if you have law courts dealing with matters of this life, do you appoint them as judges who are of no account in the church?

But to the rest I say, not the Lord, that if any brother has a wife who is an unbeliever, and she consents to live with him, he must not divorce her.

And a woman who has an unbelieving husband, and he consents to live with her, she must not send her husband away.

But if you marry, you have not sinned; and if a virgin marries, she has not sinned. Yet such will have trouble in this life, and I am trying to spare you.

Now concerning things sacrificed to idols, we know that we all have knowledge. Knowledge makes arrogant, but love edifies.

If I speak with the tongues of men and of angels, but do not have love, I have become a noisy gong or a clanging cymbal.

If I have the gift of prophecy, and know all mysteries and all knowledge; and if I have all faith, so as to remove mountains, but do not have love, I am nothing.

And if I give all my possessions to feed the poor, and if I surrender my body to be burned, but do not have love, it profits me nothing.

Love is patient, love is kind and is not jealous; love does not brag and is not arrogant,

Love never fails; but if there are gifts of prophecy, they will be done away; if there are tongues, they will cease; if there is knowledge, it will be done away.

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

Pursue love, yet desire earnestly spiritual gifts, but especially that you may prophesy.

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

You fool! That which you sow does not come to life unless it dies;

So also it is written, “The first man, Adam, became a living soul.” The last Adam became a life-giving spirit.

Let all that you do be done in love.

If anyone does not love the Lord, he is to be accursed. Maranatha.

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