Now I also baptized the household of Stephanas; beyond that, I do not know if I baptized anyone else.

For I fed you with milk, not with solid food [i.e., with basic fundamentals instead of more advanced teaching. See Heb. 5:12-13] because you were not able to absorb it,

So then, no more boasting about mere mortals! For everything belongs to you,

And these things, brethren, I have, in figure, applied to my self and Apollos, for your sakes, that you may learn in us not to think more of teachers than what has been written; and that no one of you be vain of one to the injury of another.

[You behave as if] you are already filled [with spiritual wisdom and in need of nothing more]. Already you have become rich [in spiritual gifts]! You [in your conceit] have ascended your thrones and become kings without us; and how I wish [that it were true and] that you did reign as kings, so that we might reign with you.

For even if you had ten thousand teachers in Christ, you have not more than one father: for in Christ Jesus I have given birth to you through the good news.

Some swell, as though I would come no more at you:

I wrote you in my letter not to associate with immoral people??10 not that you are to have nothing whatever to do with the immoral people of the world, any more than with its greedy and grasping people or idolaters, for then you would have to leave the world altogether.

not that you are to stop all dealings with sexually immoral people of this world, any more than with its greedy graspers, or its idolaters, for then you would have to get clear out of the world.

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

How much more things pertaining to this life? If then ye have any controversies of things pertaining to this life, do ye set them to judge who are of no esteem in the church?

To say no more, it is a mark of moral failure among you to have lawsuits at all with one another. Why not rather suffer being wronged? Why not suffer being robbed?

or thieves or greedy graspers for more or drunkards or slanderers or swindlers will not have a share in the kingdom of God.

Defraud not one another, except it may be by consent occasionally, that ye may have more leisure for fasting and prayer; and come together again, lest Satan tempt you through your incontinence.

But I am saying this as a concession, not as a command.

Though, if thou marry, thou hast not sinned; and if a virgin marry, she hath not sinned: such however will probably have more trouble in life: but I spare you.

But she is more blessed if she abide as she is, in my opinion: and I think I have the spirit of God.

But food does not bring us close to God. For neither if we eat do we have more, nor if we do not eat do we lack.

If indeed meat causes my brother to stumble, I never eat any more meat, in order that I may not lay a stumblingblock in the way of my brother.

if others do partake of the authority over you -- not we more? but we did not use this authority, but all things we bear, that we may give no hindrance to the good news of the Christ.

I get a reward if I do it of my own accord, whereas to do it otherwise is no more than for a steward to discharge his trust.

For though I be free from all men, yet have I made myself servant unto all, that I might gain the more.

No trial has come upon you but such as is common to man: but God is faithful, who will not suffer you to be tried more than you are able to bear; but he will, with the trial, make a way to escape, so that you be able to bear up under it.

Therefore, my beloved, run [keep far, far away] from [any sort of] idolatry [and that includes loving anything more than God, or participating in anything that leads to sin and enslaves the soul].

(Of course, in the Lord, woman does not exist apart from man, any more than man apart from woman;

But in giving you the following instructions, I cannot praise you; your solemn assemblies do more harm than good.

Nay, much more those members of the body, which seem to be more feeble, are necessary:

and the parts of it we deem devoid of honor we dress with special honor, and our ill-shaped parts receive more careful attention,

For our comely parts have no need: but God hath tempered the body together, having given more abundant honour to that part which lacked:

Covet after the best gifts. And yet show I unto you a more excellent way.

If I have the ability to speak in the languages of human beings and angels [Note: Perhaps the idea is supernaturally and eloquently], but do not have love [for people], I have become [no more than] a noisy gong or a clanging cymbal.

Love never faileth: but if there be prophetic gifts, they shall be no more; if tongues, they shall cease; if science, it shall vanish away.

Pursue love, and be zealous for the spiritual things, but more that ye may prophesy.

I want you all to speak ecstatically, but I especially want you to be inspired to preach. The man who is inspired to preach is more useful than the one who speaks ecstatically??nless he can explain what he says so that it may do the church some good.

I thank my God, I speak with tongues more than ye all.

If any man makes use of a tongue, let it not be more than two, or at the most three, and in turn; and let someone give the sense:

And let the prophets give their words, but not more than two or three, and let the others be judges of what they say.

After that, he was seen of more than five hundred brethren at once: of which many remain unto this day, and many are fallen asleep.

But by the grace of God I am that I am. And his grace which is in me was not in vain; but I laboured more abundantly than they all: yet not I, but the grace of God which is with me.

More than that, we are detected in bearing false witness against God; because we testified of God that he raised Christ from the dead, whom he did not raise, if indeed the dead rise not.

More than that, those who are sleeping in Christ have perished.

If we have set our hopes on the Messiah in this life only, we deserve more pity than any other people.

Else what will they do who are baptised? for the dead, if wholly dead they rise no more. Why are they then baptised for the dead?

Be sober-minded [be sensible, wake up from your spiritual stupor] as you ought, and stop sinning; for some [of you] have no knowledge of God [you are disgracefully ignorant of Him, and ignore His truths]. I say this to your shame.

Therefore, my beloved brothers and sisters, be steadfast, immovable, always excelling in the work of the Lord [always doing your best and doing more than is needed], being continually aware that your labor [even to the point of exhaustion] in the Lord is not futile nor wasted [it is never without purpose].
