for no one can lay any other foundation than the one that is laid, that is, Jesus Christ Himself.

On the contrary, you practice wronging and robbing others, and that your brothers.

Keep on running from sexual immorality! Any other sin that a man commits is one outside his body, but the man who commits the sexual sin is sinning against his own body.

You husbands and wives must stop refusing each other what is due, unless you agree to do so just for awhile, so as to have plenty of time for prayer, and then to be together again, so as to keep Satan from tempting you because of your lack of self-control.

If I am not an apostle to other people, I certainly am one to you, for you yourselves, by virtue of your union with the Lord, are the proof of my apostleship.

If others share this right with you, have we not a stronger claim? Yet, we have never used this right; no, we keep on bearing everything, to keep from hindering the progress of the good news of Christ.

And I do it all for the sake of the good news, so as to share with others in its blessings.

But I keep on beating and bruising my body and making it my slave, so that I, after I have summoned others to the race, may not myself become unfit to run.

Those things continued to befall them as warnings to others, and they were written down for the purpose of instructing us, in whose lives the climax of the ages has been reached.

But if anyone is inclined to be contentious about it, I for my part prescribe no other practice than this, and neither do the churches of God.

If anyone claims to have the prophetic spirit, or any other spiritual gift, let him recognize that what I now am writing is the Lord's command.

So, my brothers, cultivate the gift of prophetic speaking, but stop preventing others from speaking in ecstasy.

After that comes the end, when He will turn the kingdom over to God His Father, when He will put an end to all other government, authority, and power;

So no one must slight him at all. But send him on with your goodbye, that he may come back to me, for I am expecting him with the other brothers.
