For I truly, as being absent in the body but present in the spirit, I have already, as though present, judged the man who committed this thing this way.

whether Paul, or Apollos, or Cephas, or the world, or life, or death, or things present, or things coming, all are yours,

As far as the present hour we both hunger, and thirst, and are ill clothed, and are treated roughly, and are homeless.

I suppose therefore this to be good because of the present distress, that it is good for a man to be this way:

But food does not present us to God, for neither if we eat are we ahead, nor if we do not eat are we behind.

For indeed first, when ye come together in a congregation, I hear divisions are present among you, and I partly believe it.
