(I also baptized the household of Stephanas; besides them, I do not know whether I baptized any other.)

For no one can lay any other foundation than that which has been laid, which is Jesus Christ.

If to others I am not an apostle, yet at least I am to you; for you are the seal of my office of apostle in the Lord.

If others partake of this right over you, do not we yet more? Nevertheless we did not use this right, but we bear all things, that we may cause no hindrance to the Good News of Christ.

but I beat my body and bring it into submission, lest by any means, after I have preached to others, I myself should be rejected.

Conscience, I say, not your own, but the other's conscience. For why is my liberty judged by another conscience?

Now I desire to have you all speak with other languages, but rather that you would prophesy, and he is greater who prophesies than he who speaks with other languages, unless he interprets, that the church may be built up.

But now, brothers, if I come to you speaking with other languages, what would I profit you, unless I speak to you either by way of revelation, or of knowledge, or of prophesying, or of teaching?

For you truly give thanks well, but the other person is not built up.

I thank God, I speak with other languages more than you all.

However in the church I would rather speak five words with my understanding, that I might instruct others also, than ten thousand words in another language.

Therefore other languages are for a sign, not to those who believe, but to the unbelieving; but prophesying is for a sign, not to the unbelieving, but to those who believe.

If therefore the whole church is assembled together and all speak with other languages, and unlearned or unbelieving people come in, won't they say that you are crazy?

What is it then, brothers? When you come together, each one of you has a psalm, has a teaching, has a revelation, has another language, has an interpretation. Let all things be done to build each other up.

Let the prophets speak, two or three, and let the others discern.

Therefore, brothers, desire earnestly to prophesy, and do not forbid speaking with other languages.

That which you sow, you do not sow the body that will be, but a bare grain, maybe of wheat, or of some other kind.
