For my part, I came among you in weakness and with a great deal of fear and trembling,

So, for my part, brothers, I could not treat you as spiritual persons; I had to treat you just as creatures of flesh and blood, as babies in Christian living.

I for my part care very little about being examined by you or by any human court. I do not even offer myself for investigation.

For my part, though I have been absent from you in person, I have been present with you in spirit, and as thus present I have already passed judgment upon the man who has done this,

So let us keep the festival, not with old yeast nor with the yeast of vice and wickedness, but with the unleavened bread of purity and truth.

For what have I to do with judging outsiders? Is it not your part to judge those who are inside the church,

Does not the consecrated cup which we bless mean that in drinking it we share in the blood of Christ? Does not the bread that we break mean that in eating it we share in the body of Christ?

just as I for my part try to please everyone in all I do, not aiming at my own advantage, but at that of people generally, in order that they may be saved.

but a woman's long hair is her pride? For her hair is given her as a covering.

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

For I myself received from the Lord the account that I passed on to you, that the Lord Jesus the night he was betrayed took some bread

For until the Lord comes back, every time you eat this bread and drink from the cup, you proclaim his death.

Hence anyone who eats the bread or drinks from the Lord's cup in a way that is unworthy of it will be guilty of profaning the body and the blood of the Lord.

A man should examine himself, and only when he has done so should he eat any of the bread or drink from the cup.

For the body does not consist of one part but of many.

If the foot says, "As I am not a hand, I am not a part of the body," that does not make it any less a part of the body.

And if the ear says, "As I am not an eye, I am not a part of the body," that does not make it any less a part of the body.

If they were all one part, where would the body be?

If one part suffers, all the parts share its sufferings. If a part has honor done it, all the parts enjoy it too.

Even if I give away everything I own, and give myself up, but do it in pride, not love, it does me no good.

Now I want to remind you, brothers, of the form in which I presented to you the good news I brought, which you accepted and have stood by,

For just as because of their relation to Adam all men die, so because of their relation to Christ they will all be brought to life again.

By the very pride I take in you, brothers, through our union with Christ Jesus our Lord, I face death every day.
