For the message about the cross is foolishness to those who are perishing, but to us who are being saved it is the power of God.

but to those who are called, both Jews and Greeks, Christ is the power of God and the wisdom of God.

My speech and my preaching were not in persuasive words of wisdom, but in demonstration of the Spirit and of power,

that your faith would not rest in the wisdom of men, but in the power of God.

But I will come to you shortly, if the Lord is willing. And I will know, not the word of those who are puffed up, but the power.

For the Kingdom of God is not in word, but in power.

In the name of our Lord Jesus, you being gathered together, and my spirit, with the power of our Lord Jesus,

"All things are lawful for me," but not all things are expedient. "All things are lawful for me," but I will not be brought under the power of anything.

Now God raised up the Lord, and will also raise us up by his power.

But he who stands steadfast in his heart, having no necessity, but has power over his own heart, to keep his own virgin, does well.

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.

Judge for yourselves. Is it appropriate that a woman pray to God unveiled?

If I dole out all my goods to feed the poor, and if I surrender my body so that I may boast, but do not have love, it profits me nothing.

Therefore let him who speaks in another language pray that he may interpret.

For if I pray in another language, my spirit prays, but my understanding is unfruitful.

What is it then? I will pray with the spirit, and I will pray with the understanding also. I will sing with the spirit, and I will sing with the understanding also.

Then the end comes, when he will deliver up the Kingdom to God, even the Father; when he will have abolished all rule and all authority and power.

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.

It is sown in dishonor; it is raised in glory. It is sown in weakness; it is raised in power.

As we have borne the image of those made of dust, let us also bear the image of the heavenly.

The sting of death is sin, and the power of sin is the law.
