that, as it is written: He that glories, let him glory in the Lord.

According to the grace of God that is given to me, as a wise master-builder, I have laid the foundation, and another builds on this. But let every one take heed how he builds on this.

For other foundation can no man lay than that which is laid, which, is Jesus Christ.

Let no one deceive himself: if any one among you is considered as wise in this age, let him become a fool, that he may be wise.

Therefore, let no one glory in men; for all things are yours,

Let each one so think of us as ministers of Christ, and stewards of the mysteries of God.

So, then, judge nothing be fore the time, till the Lord comes, who will bring to light the secret works of darkness, and will also make manifest the counsels of the hearts: and then shall each have his praise from God.

Therefore, let us keep the feast, not with old leaven, nor with the leaven of malice and wickedness, but with the unleavened bread of purity and truth.

I have written to you in the letter not to associate with lewd persons;

yet without the lest allusion to the lewd, or the covetous, or the extortioners, or the idolaters of this world; for then you must go out of the world;

but now I write to you, not to associate with any one professing to be a brother, if he is lewd or covetous, or an idolater, or a reviler, or a drunkard, or an extortioner: with such a one not even to eat.

Know you not that the unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom of God? Be not deceived; neither lewd persons, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor catamites, nor sodomites,

But, to avoid lewd practices, let every man have his own wife, and every woman her own husband.

Let the husband render to the wife that which is due, and likewise, also, the wife to the husband.

But if they can not be continent, let them marry; for it is better to marry than to burn.

But to the married I give commandment, not I, but the Lord: Let not the wife leave her husband:

but if she leave him, let her remain unmarried, or be reconciled to her husband: and, let not the husband put away his wife.

But to the rest, I, and not the Lord, say: If any brother has a wife that believes not, and she is well pleased to dwell with him, let him not put her away.

And if any woman has a husband that believes not, and he is well pleased to dwell with her, let her not put him away.

But if the unbelieving depart, let him depart; the brother or sister is not bound in such cases. But God has called us to live in peace.

But as God has assigned a place to every one, as the Lord has called every one, so let him continue to live: and so do I command in all the churches.

Has any one been called that had been circumcised? Let him not seek to remove the mark of circumcision. Has any one been called that had not been circumcised? Let him not be circumcised,

Let every one remain in that condition in which he was, when called.

Brethren, let every one, in whatever condition he is called, abide in this with God.

But if any man thinks he would treat his virgin daughter amiss, should she pass the bloom of life, and it is necessary that it should be so, let him do as he pleases, he does not sin; let them (the suitor and the daughter) marry.

Have we not the right to lead about a sister wife, as the other apostles, and the brothers of the Lord, and Cephas?

For though I preach the gospel, I have no cause for boasting; for a necessity is laid upon me; yes, alas for me, if I preach not the gospel.

Nor let us be guilty of lewdness, as some of them were guilty, and fell, in one day, twenty-three thou sand.

Nor let us tempt the Christ, as some of them also tempted, and were destroyed by serpents.

"Wherefore, let him that thinks he stands, take heed lest he foil.

Let no one seek his own, but each the welfare of the other.

For if a woman has no vail on, let her also be shaved. But if it is a shame to a woman to be shorn or shaven, let her have a vail.

But let a man examine himself, and so let him eat of this bread, and drink of this cup:

and if any one is hungry, let him eat at home, that you come not together for condemnation. But other things I will set in order when I come.

You know that you were Gentiles, carried away to those dumb idols, as you might be led.

For which reason, let him that speaks in an unknown tongue pray that he may interpret.

What, then, is it, brethren? When you come together, each one of you has a psalm, has something to teach, has an unknown tongue, has a revelation, has an interpretation. Let all things be done for edification.

If any speak in an unknown tongue, let two, or, at most, three, speak at each meeting, and in succession: and let one interpret.

But if there be no interpreter, let him keep silence in the church: but let him speak to himself, and to God.

Let two or three prophets speak, and let the others judge:

and if any thing be revealed to one who is sitting by, let the first be silent.

Let your women keep silence in the assemblies; for they ire not permitted to speak; but they must be in subjection, as also says the law.

But if they wish to learn any thing,, let them ask their own husbands at home; for it is a shame for women to speak in an assembly.

If any one has the reputation of being a prophet, or spiritual man, let him acknowledge that the things which I write to you are the commandments of the Lord.

But if any one be ignorant, let him be ignorant.

Let all things be done with propriety, and in good order.

If, to speak as a man, I have fought with wild beasts at Ephesus, what advantage is it to me, if the dead rise not? Let us eat and drink, for to-morrow we die.

On the first day of the week, let each of you lay by him, and treasure up as he has prospered, that there may be no collections when I come.

Therefore, let no one despise him; but conduct him forth in peace, that he may come to me: for I look for him with the brethren.

Let every thing be done by you in love.

If any one loves not the Lord Jesus Christ, let him be accursed. The Lord comes.
