Now I make request to you, my brothers, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that you will all say the same thing, and that there may be no divisions among you, so that you may be in complete agreement, in the same mind and in the same opinion.

Now I mean this, - that, each one of you, is saying - I, indeed, am of Paul, but, I, of Apollos, but, I, of Cephas, but, I, of Christ:

I am thankful now that I baptized none of you, except Crispus and Gaius,

(Now I also baptized the household of Stephanas. Beyond that I do not know if I baptized anyone else.)

Where now is your philosopher? Your scribe? Your reasoner of today? Has not God made a fool of the world's wisdom?

Now Jews ask for [miraculous] signs and Greeks [i.e., Gentiles] are looking for wisdom,

Now consider how you were when you were called, brothers. Not many of you were wise by human standards; not many were influential; not many were from prominent families.

Now when I came to you, brothers, I did not come and tell you God's uncovered secret in rhetorical language or human philosophy,

Now we do speak wisdom among the mature, but wisdom not of this age or of the rulers of this age, who are perishing,

rather, we are setting forth a wisdom that came from God, once a covered secret but now uncovered, which God marked off as His plan for bringing us to glory.

Now God has revealed these things to us by the Spirit, for the Spirit searches everything, even the depths of God.

Now we have not received the spirit of the world, but the Spirit who comes from God, so that we may understand what has been freely given to us by God.

Now the natural man receiveth not the things of the Spirit of God: for they are foolishness unto him; and he cannot know them, because they are spiritually judged.

Now the spiritual [person] discerns all [things], but he himself is judged by no one.

For who has ever known the Lord's thoughts, so that he can instruct Him? But we now possess Christ's thoughts.

I gave you milk and not meat, because you were, then, unable to take it, and even now you are not able;

You are not able even now, for you are still unspiritual. While there is among you jealousy and strife, are you not still unspiritual, and behaving like worldlings?

Now the planter and the waterer are working for the same end: but they will have their separate rewards in the measure of their work.

As a skilled architect, in accordance with God's unmerited favor given to me, I laid a foundation, and now another is building upon it. But every builder must be careful how he builds upon it;

Now if any man build upon this foundation gold, silver, precious stones, wood, hay, stubble;

now it is required in a steward, that he be found faithful.

Do not form any premature judgments, therefore, but wait until the Lord comes back. For he will light up the darkness that now hides things and show what the motives in people's minds are, and then everyone will get from God the praise he deserves.

Now, brothers, I have applied these things to myself and Apollos for your benefit, so that you may learn from us the saying: “Nothing beyond what is written.” The purpose is that none of you will be inflated with pride in favor of one person over another.

For who maketh thee to differ from another? and what hast thou that thou didst not receive? now if thou didst receive it, why dost thou glory, as if thou hadst not received it?

For even now you are full, even now you have wealth, you have been made kings without us: truly, I would be glad if you were kings, so that we might be kings with you.

When evil things are said about us we give gentle answers: we are made as the unclean things of the world, as that for which no one has any use, even till now.

For you can have 10,000 instructors in Christ, but you can’t have many fathers. For I became your father in Christ Jesus through the gospel.

Now I conjure you, be followers of me.

Now some are full of pride, as if I was not coming to you.

Which do you prefer? Shall I come to you with a rod [of discipline and correction], or with love and a gentle spirit?

Then get rid of the old leaven, so that you may be like a new lump, as you are now unleavened. For our Paschal Lamb has already been sacrificed, Christ himself.

But, now, I have written unto you not to be mixing yourselves up, - if anyone named a brother, be a fornicator, or covetous, or an idolater, or a reviler, or a drunkard, or an extortioner, with such a one as this, not so much, as to be eating together,

Or, do you not know that God's people will judge the world? [Note: Possibly this refers to Christians somehow assisting Christ on the judgment day]. And if the world is [to be] judged by you [at that time], are you not capable of judging small matters [now]?

I speak to your shame. Is there not now a wise man among you? not one who can judge between his brothers?

Now therefore there is utterly a fault among you, because ye go to law one with another. Why do ye not rather take wrong? why do ye not rather suffer yourselves to be defrauded?

And these are just the characters some of you used to be. But now you have washed yourselves clean, you have been consecrated, you are now in right standing with God, by the name of our Lord Jesus Christ and by the Spirit of God.

Meats for the belly, and the belly for meats: but God shall destroy both it and them. Now the body is not for fornication, but for the Lord; and the Lord for the body.

Now God has both raised up the Lord [Jesus], and will [also] raise us up [from the dead] through His power.

Don't you know, that your bodies are parts of Christ's mystical body? now, how can that which is Christ's, be made the property of a very creature?

for ye have been bought with a price: glorify now then God in your body.

Now, as to the things in your letter to me: It is good for a man to have nothing to do with a woman.

Now I wish all men to be even as myself: but every one has his own gift of God: one man thus, and another thus.

Now I say to the unmarried and to the widows: [It is] good for them if they remain as I [am].

Now I command married people, although it is [really] the Lord's command [See. Mark 10:2-12]: A wife should not separate from her husband. [Note: This act implies the intention of pursuing a legal and permanent breach of the marriage relationship by divorce. "Separate" and "divorce" appear to be used interchangeably in this section. See verses 11-15].

Now to the rest I say--not the Lord--if any brother has an unbelieving wife and she consents to live with him, he must not divorce her.

For the husband who has not faith is made holy through his Christian wife, and the wife who is not a Christian is made holy through the brother: if not, your children would be unholy, but now are they holy.

For the person who was a slave when called by the Lord is [now] the Lord's freed person. In the same way, the person who was free when he was called [by the Lord] is [now] Christ's slave.

Now about virgins I have no orders from the Lord: but I give my opinion as one to whom the Lord has given mercy to be true to him.

Now this is my opinion in the light of the present distress: That it is a good thing for a man to remain as he is.

But I say this, my brothers, the time is short; and from now it will be wise for those who have wives to be as if they had them not;

and they that buy, as if they possessed not; And they that use this world, as not abusing it; for the fashion of this world passeth away: Now I would have you without carefulness.

And I would have you without anxiety. Now he, that is unmarried, careth for the things of the Lord, how he may please the Lord; but he,

Now I say this for your profit; not to make things hard for you, but because of what is right, and so that you may be able to give all your attention to the things of the Lord.

Now if a father thinks that he is not doing the proper thing regarding his single daughter, if she is past the bloom of her youth, and she ought to do so, let him do what she desires; he commits no sin. Let the daughter and her suitor marry.

Now about things offered to images: we all seem to ourselves to have knowledge. Knowledge gives pride, but love gives true strength.

Now as to eating food that has been offered to idols, we know well that an idol has no real existence in the universe, and that there is no God but One.

Still, all men have not that knowledge: but some, being used till now to the image, are conscious that they are taking food which has been offered to the image; and because they are not strong in the faith, their minds are troubled.

Now food does not bring us nearness to God. Neither if we eat do we gain any advantage, nor if we eat not, do we lose any.

Now when you sin like this against the brothers and wound their weak conscience, you are sinning against Christ.

or saith not the law the same also? for it is written in the law of Moses, "Thou shalt not muzzle the ox that treadeth out the corn." Now doth God take care for oxen,

But I have used none of these things. Now I have not written these things that it should be thus in my case; for it were good for me rather to die than that any one should make vain my boast.

now if I do this willingly, I have a reward: but if against my will, it is a dispensation of trust which must be discharged.

Now I do all this because of the gospel, so I may become a partner in its benefits.

And every man who takes part in the sports has self-control in all things. Now they do it to get a crown which is of this world, but we for an eternal crown.

Now I want you to know, brothers, that our fathers were all under the cloud, all passed through the sea,

and all drank the same spiritual drink, for they drank of a spiritual rock which followed them: (now the rock was the Christ;)

Now these things were for an example to us, so that our hearts might not go after evil things, as they did.

Now stop being idolaters, as some of them were, for the Scripture says, "The people sat down to eat and drink and got up to dance."

Now these things were done as an example; and were put down in writing for our teaching, on whom the last days have come.

But that what the nations sacrifice they sacrifice to demons, and not to God. Now I do not wish you to be in communion with demons.

Now if an unbeliever invites you for a meal and you decide to go, eat whatever is set in front of you without asking any questions for [your] conscience' sake [See verse 25].

Now I am not speaking about your own conscience, but the [conscience] of the other [person]. For why [is] my freedom judged by another's conscience?

Now I am pleased to see that you keep me in memory in all things, and that you give attention to the teaching which was handed down from me to you.

Now I want you to realize that the Messiah is the head of every man, and man is the head of the woman, and God is the head of the Messiah.

For if a woman will not wear a veil, let her have her hair cut off too. Now if it is a dishonor for a woman to have her hair cut off, or her head shaved, let her wear a veil.

for as woman was made from man, so man is now made from woman, while both, like all things, come from God.)

Now if anyone is inclined to be contentious [about this], we have no other practice [in worship than this], nor do the churches of God [in general].

Now in giving the following instruction I do not praise you, since you come together not for the better but for the worse.

But now, when you come together, it is not possible to take the holy meal of the Lord:

hence it is, that many are weak and sickly among you, and no small number now sleep in their graves.

If however, we were judging ourselves aright, we should not now be condemned;

Now, while we are being judged by the Lord, we are being disciplined so we won't be condemned along with the world.

Now concerning spiritual gifts, brethren, I would not have you ignorant.

so I tell you now, that no one is speaking in the Spirit of God when he cries, 'Cursed be Jesus,' and that no one can say, 'Jesus is Lord,' except in the holy Spirit.

Now there are different qualities given to men, but the same Spirit.

now to particular men the spirit gives particular gifts, that they may be displayed to greater advantage.

Now all of these [supernatural gifts] are the work of one and the same Holy Spirit, who distributes them to each person individually as He desires.

But now God has put every one of the parts in the body as it was pleasing to him.

Now if all of it were one part, there wouldn't be a body, would there?

But now they are all different parts, but one body.

Now the eye is not able to say to the hand, "I do not have need of you," or again, the head to the feet, "I do not have need of you."

Now, ye, are the body of Christ, and members severally; -

Now God has placed some [ministries] in the church [as follows]: First apostles, secondly prophets, thirdly teachers, then [those able to perform] miracles, then gifts [enabling people] to perform [supernatural] healings, [those able] to help the needy, [wise] administrators, [and] those able to speak in different languages.

But let your desires be turned to the more important things given by the Spirit. And now I am pointing out to you an even better way.

Love never fails; if there are prophecies, they will be set aside; if now exist ecstatic speakings, they will cease; if there is knowledge, it will soon be set aside;

For now we know but in part, and we prophesy but in part.

When I was a child, I used to speak as a child, to prefer as child, to reason as a child: now I have become a man, I have laid aside the things of the child!

For now we see indistinctly, as in a mirror,
but then face to face.
Now I know in part,
but then I will know fully,
as I am fully known.

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

Now I would have you all speak with tongues, but rather that ye should prophesy: and greater is he that prophesieth than he that speaketh with tongues, except he interpret, that the church may receive edifying.
