For Christ did not send me to baptize, but -- to proclaim good news; not in wisdom of discourse, that the cross of the Christ may not be made of none effect;

with milk I fed you, and not with meat, for ye were not yet able, but not even yet are ye now able,

for if any one may see thee that hast knowledge in an idol's temple reclining at meat -- shall not his conscience -- he being infirm -- be emboldened to eat the things sacrificed to idols,

for being free from all men, to all men I made myself servant, that the more I might gain;

and I became to the Jews as a Jew, that Jews I might gain; to those under law as under law, that those under law I might gain;

to those without law, as without law -- (not being without law to God, but within law to Christ) -- that I might gain those without law;

I became to the infirm as infirm, that the infirm I might gain; to all men I have become all things, that by all means I may save some.

Whatever in the meat-market is sold eat ye, not inquiring, because of the conscience,

for also in one Spirit we all to one body were baptized, whether Jews or Greeks, whether servants or freemen, and all into one Spirit were made to drink,

When I was a babe, as a babe I was speaking, as a babe I was thinking, as a babe I was reasoning, and when I have become a man, I have made useless the things of the babe;

If, therefore, the whole assembly may come together, to the same place, and all may speak with tongues, and there may come in unlearned or unbelievers, will they not say that ye are mad?

for even as in Adam all die, so also in the Christ all shall be made alive,

then -- the end, when he may deliver up the reign to God, even the Father, when he may have made useless all rule, and all authority and power --

on every first day of the week, let each one of you lay by him, treasuring up whatever he may have prospered, that when I may come then collections may not be made;

and if it be meet for me also to go, with me they shall go.
